Amazing to think this pub was serving beer in the 16th century!

It can get busy after work. You will be lucky to get a seat. Don't try moving the chairs around as you will be told (politely?) that the chairs cannot be moved.

Loads of ales to try. Scotch eggs and pork pies are served along with mustard.

Watch out for the young bartender who likes you to say "please" when you order.

The sink in the mens toilet is installed over the urinals! Makes me wonder how many are eating those pork pies with unwashed hands?

Great pub to go to for a pre-dinner on The Cut drink.

Go there for lunch (noon-6pm) and take advantage of their starter and main course for £5 deal! You have to ask for this as you are only given the full priced menu when you sit down. Initially I thought this was cheeky, but there is a big board outside advertising the £5 deal so I suppose it is ok.

My favourite Chinese in China Town. It is always full of young Chinese which I take as a great sign.

Pretty much what you would expect on the menu but all top notch and very reasonably priced. Don't miss the tapioca drinks which don't seem to be mentioned on the menu. I suspect they are only mentioned on the hand written (in chinese) menus on the wall.

As with more and more places in London the tip/service charge is automatically added but can be difficult to spot on the hand written bills.

Certainly great value. Agree with previous reviewer on the Carrot Juice.

The big bowls of food would have appealed to me in my student days. Now, half way through the huge pile of rice I find myself sighing and wishing I had gone somewhere else.

Go if you have something to celebrate. (it is expensive)

My rabbit main course was amazing. The vodka cherry ice cream with chocolate sauce is a must.
