It's a nice pub with a very good vibe! Plenty of seats available when I visited. Pint price on a higher end. Staff was friendly and efficient! This place was very clean and well maintained which was great!

Great, traditional pub. Feels historical. A novel mezzanine floor gives good vies internally and externally. It is a fullers pub...handy for me. The place is also well decorated in keeping with the surroundings. Busy at lunchtime and evening, but through trade throughout the day, as it's right in the city.

I don’t know why they advertise as a place to watch the World Cup. For a pint, fine, for food, you can do better, but pub grub it’s alright. If you come here for the football then condolences.

Had some dinner floating through Farringdon on a Friday evening. Food was decent and we used the bar for ordering as we got handed a food menu. When approaching the bar there was a tall blonde girl with her back turned chatting on the bar and not acknowledging anyone waiting and a man in a T-shirt and jeans texting on his phone being ignorant. A girl walked from outside around to the bar to serve me. Other than the service, the food was good and the drink choices were exceptional. Good spot in the sun
