8 on again yesterday, laudable selection with no mainstream stuff. Loddon Rin Tin Tin, Saltaire Blonde, fff Altons Pride, Mordue All Hallows, Hoskins Exs, Springhead Spooky Juice, Redcar Best and Centurions Ghost Ale. Thankfully no issues with beer quality re the couple I tried, Saltaire was especially good.
As others have said, a fairly spartan interior, limited seating and standing room. Noticed the mosaic tiled step in the centre window booth suggesting the original entrance was here.
One criticism, a fairly mild day for November yesterday but the fire was blazing away making it seem a little hot and uncomfortable.

I dropped into the Castle recently, attracted by the wide range of guest ales which I'd never seen before. Unfortunately the three I tried were all very flat, with a strangely uniform tang of vinegar. They were all badly kept, and I suspect probably not too well made in the first place. The pub was crammed to the rafters with loud, obnoxious people, so there was nowhere to sit. The only point in this pub's favour is that the bar staff are pleasant. I definitely won't be going back there, regardless of how many ales they offer. The Chancery Lane area is richly endowed with far better alternatives.

Single room pub a little way from Chancery Lane, run by the RedCar Pub Co. 8 beers on the go when I was there. Ventured a pint of Redcar best, which wasn’t bad. Food there seems to be reasonably priced and sourced from Borough Market.
Not a lot of seating available, but that’s to be expected given its size. Gets rather packed of an evening.
Bar staff were quick and pleasant. Worth a visit for the range of beers, but not the most comfortable.
