An historic pub rebuilt in 1933/4, frequented by politicians, civil servants, media folk and concert goers from nearby St John’s, Smith Square. Wood panelling, brass rails, partitioned window seating and chandeliers characterise the traditional downstairs bar. The upstairs dining room has the three regular beers. Food is served until 10pm. In addition to the interesting main menu there is a speciality pie menu and an afternoon tea menu. Children are welcome upstairs 12-3 and 5-9; downstairs 3-5. The latest report from a member indicates that a post-pandemic temporary reduction of ale range has ceased and that the pub is back up to full range of six ales. Food options include takeaway and delivery as well as eating in the pub.
