The sausage sandwich had large lumps of unmelted margarine in it but was fine apart from that. |

The new bar manager is not very nice. I saw her telling one of the staff off in front of a bar full of customers, most unprofessional. We didn't get brought cutlery with our meals (8 Dec 2004); not sure if this is a new management policy or if the staff just forgot. |

News
The previous Landlord and Landlady retired on the 27th of September. Its goen downhill since.
Drinks
Full range of Fuller's beer. ESB, London Pride, Chiswick Bitter and the seasonal ale. This will be Summer Ale in the summer, Honeydew in the autumn and spring and Jack Frost in the winter. They aslo will have the Fuller's autumn monthly beers. Such as London porter. The beer is still of a high quality.
Also the normal range of lagers and stuff.
Food
Food is served all day till 21:00. However they can have issues when havign to deal with large groups upstairs. They will only do a limited menu and it might hold up orders elsewhere in the pub. You can also get a buffet if you book upstairs.
The steak is no longer any good and possibly a bit pricey at �10.95. Mine was overdone and was thin. (See older version of the page to see what a tragedy this is.)
Service and Ambience
The staff are mostly friendly. Its location means it can be quite full early in the evening but never too full.
Layout
Room on the ground floor can seat about 30 people. Tables can be reserved. There is also an upstairs room which seats 30 that can be booked out for free. They may also open the bar for you.
Facilities
The Men's toilets are clean if not a little cramped. The women's are fine too; two cubicles one of which is a little short on space but the other is fine. Wheelchair access but not to the toilets.
Other Facts
One of only 2 pubs in london to appear in all editions of the good beer guide (less than 16 nationally). Was used as the launching place of the 30th edition of the GBG - including serving the special Young's made anniversary beer, even though its a Fuller's house. In my opinon it might lose its good beer guide status this year --bob
Supposedly a hangout of East End gangsters in the 60s. The great train robbery was allegedly planned here.
