We found this little watering hole whilst exploring Spitalfields. It was a really nice feeling inside. Exposed brick and dark wood. Very cosy. Great selection of beers and ciders. Felt a little sorry for the member of staff in there, she seemed to literally be doing everything on her own. That said, she was doing a grand job. Well worth a visit.

A wonderful London pub. Fantastic, cosy and lively atmosphere, with a large range of ales and ciders. The Cider-battered fish and chips were delicious, as was the Whitebait starter. Id recommend getting a flight of 3 1/3 pints of ales and ciders for the price of a pint.

Visited this lovely little pub on a weekend in London between Christmas and New year, the staff were very polite and accommodating. The staff made suggestions of on different kind of beers as we were unsure what to have.The pub had a very warm and welcoming feeling, we didn't eat there but would probably try the food on our next visit. Highly recommend a visit.

Excellent Sunday roast. We tried the chicken, beef and vegetarian (a beetroot wellington) roasts and they were all fantastic, with huge amounts of trimmings. The waitress / kitchen very kindly supplied extra gravy on request! Too full for dessert but would love to try it another time. Sadly, no hot drinks so you’ll have to go elsewhere for those! It was extremely quiet when we arrived, but people eventually arrived. Not at all crowded, just a quiet, relaxed place for a Sunday lunch. Service terrific. Highly recommend.

Excellent pub, with a great selection of real ales, probably the best in the area. Staff are friendly and there's a really nice atmosphere. It was my first time but I will definitely go again.
