| There are often many ways to evaluate and conclude whether a pub is good, bad or merely middling. Whichever criteria you choose to apply to this pub, depending on what you look for in your drinking establishments, I can’t imagine how this pub would fail on any. Of course, you might say such an opinion presumes all reviewers want the same things, but if you’re going into a pub like this in the first place, you already have some idea of what you’re going to get. A wonderful interior, a selection of beers, lagers and wines with efficient and friendly service. I agree that’s the intention of many, many pubs all over the country. But few, if any, do it as well as here. EnfieldTaaaanBlud - 24 May 2012 10:29 |
| Dear DAKING - real ale should be "flat" because if it is 'real' it will not contain any of the terrible artificial products which cause some beers to have a 'superb' frothy head. The head you get with real ale comes mostly from the movement of beer through the pipes and into your glass. Thereafter most real ale will indeed appear flat. malo66 - 17 May 2012 18:16 |
| great building well worth a look but real ale is so flat ,if it has a head it last 1minute same every time we go in and when ur paying sky high prices we expect a top quality pint service can be very hit and miss in here to . DAKING - 17 May 2012 11:14 |
| A beautiful Fullers pub that looks like it should really be a gallery or museum. A stunning glass dome above is a pretty spectacular site, not usually found in your average Fullers establishment. Unfortunately I found the prices, even for a Fullers pub, to be very, very steep indeed. My gf & I went in- I ordered a Honey Dew- excellent as ever, and she ordered a not-quite-as-exciting Carling; and incredibly it somehow came to £8.05. No Fullers pub that I've visited in London even charges that. Plus, there aren't enough nice, simple tables to sit on. Too many uncomfortable tall, backless stools. mothers_ruin - 25 Apr 2012 14:06 |
| Getting to be one of the best quality beer condition pubs in the City. Expensive and service can be hit and miss but beer worth the downsides. brianthelion - 29 Mar 2012 16:14 |
