You had better find this pub soonish before the rest of the world gets there! We visited on the advice of Fay Maschler (Evening Standard 16th July) and can only say how delighted we were to find such a welcoming and unpretentious local. The menu is stuffed with unusual dishes all from a strong British home and laced with a touch of the Irish, try the Coddle Pie with Colcannon or Arbroath Smokies with soft duck egg on top. Delicious. There is a feel of country fayre about the pub and you will be just at home with the real ales (Blacksheep/Hooky/Addlestones Cider) as one might with the concise but excellently chosen wine list, of which no less than 12 are available by the glass. The atmosphere is really pleasant and thankfully calm for a London pub, staff are attentive and seem to take a great interest you. Can get busy so advisable to book.
Terrific welcome swiftly followed by drinks and fantastic bread. The menu is more like a top end restaurant - I wanted all of the starters and most of the main courses. All the food was perfectly cooked and well presented. Portions are large - you could easily eat just a main or two starters and be full. Service was absolutely charming and the bill very reasonable. can't wait to go again
we just moved in around the corner from this pub. Does great food in the evenings (was reasonably busy), had lunch (we foolishly didn't have the set menu and spent 45 quid for 2) and today (Sat) we had brunch which was not the best food we had had here (Although the fry looked really good).
Ambience is nice, owner and staff are chatty, it's clear they care about the place.
