I live in local proximity to this pub and in 9 months hadn't thought to give it a try. On the recommendation of friends we visited on a Friday evening and thought it was absolutely fantastic. The selection/variety of beer was impressive and the sharing platter of cold meats/cheese hit the spot. I will certainly review again when I get round to eating there properly! The staff were very attentive and obviously adored by the locals which gave the place a 'proper pub' feel. It was like a real northern pub in the centre of London. Will visit again, may become my local!
