| Suprised to see the comments below. I've been using this place as a meeting place for a couple of years now and never had a problem with the food or the service. In fact, the Portugeuse steak is to die for! RobBlake - 8 Jul 2008 11:28 |
| Went to this pub last night and had one of the worst meals I have ever had in a pub. I mistakenly thought it was a traditional oasis in the trendy London pub market, and hoped for some decent British pub grub. We were severely disappointed. The food took a while to arrive and it was really grim when it did. My chicken was rubbery and tasted odd and came with very odd looking sweet potato and my companion was less than in impressed by his tasteless sausage and mash. The beer was really badly kept and watery, bearing no resemblance to the Adnams it was meant to be. Also, the staff were pretty unhelpful and it was not good value for money. I would not go back. We then went down the road to the friendly Harp and had some excellent well kept interesting beer there - what a contrast. S.Spice - 3 Jul 2008 15:18 |
| A top find in a swamp of tarted up bars. This place always seems to have a friendly crowd and well kept beer. deadleg - 27 May 2008 17:47 |
| A good meeting place in Covent Garden if you're unimpressed with top-end cocktail bars etc. An old fashioned traditional boozer with a good atmosphere and a suitable range of well-kept real ales. JustinNewman - 8 May 2008 11:19 |
| Considering how near it is to the centre of Covent Garden, I'm amazed that this place hasn't been 'done up' for the tourist hordes. Traditional bar, with well kept beer. Overall, a decent, if small, oasis of calm... rpadam - 27 Mar 2008 23:36 |
