Following a period of closure, this Grade-II listed venue (Historic England reference 1066888) reopened in March 2019 as "a proper pub". It is located in a quiet courtyard in the Middle Temple heart of London's legal district. The pub is deceptively larger inside than its exterior would suggest; wood panelling, booths, partitions and historical prints predominate. Note that, typical of pubs in central London, the stairs down to the toilets are steep and low-ceilinged.

Three to four ales are normally available on cask plus a range of craft keg and bottled beers; but post-pandemic, ale range will adjust to footfall. Good-value toasties and simple bar snacks are available.
