Good beer, good craic and amazing staff! I think the managers name was Sam, he is an absolute credit to this place and he seriously went above and beyond helping us however he could. Would definitely recommend this pub to anyone!
Such a great pub! If you are looking for an authentic pub, come here! The atmosphere is quiet and friendly, the staff was helpful and nice, the food was delicious, and the drinks were great! It is what you would expect from a pub, a place to have a drink and visit with friends! The music is not loud. I hate bars where you have to scream to be heard. Thank you, Crutched Friar!
Visited on a Saturday afternoon, quiet as you would expect in the City. Lovely pub, lots of references to the history of the area. Personal favourite is the entrance, walkway towards the bar with seating to the left and the right.
A really nice pub that is tucked away in a back street to the east of the city. Quite a large space inside and I got a table easily. We ordered food and it took a while to come. We were just thinking of asking where the food was when it appeared. Worth the wait though, I had the steak and venison pie and it was a pure delight, light pastry with a good filling of very tender meat. My friend had the sausage and mash, which he also thought was delicious. They served a good range of beers and wines too. Well worth a visit.
So here's another pub to check out, particularly if you are interested in savouring a selection of guest ales, the like of which you'll struggle to find outside London. From my initial welcome by the friendly down-to-earth Sam to the outstanding service from Martin, I thoroughly enjoyed my evening here, albeit unusually quietly owing to a train strike. There is an abundance of lovely and comfortable places to sit that render you immersed in local history, of which I hope that you will experience a flavour from my photos. Having walked past this venue many times on my way to Towe Hill Station, I was glad that I seized the opportunity to visit. Unashamedly, I finished my meal with a sweet scone sundae, layered with vanilla ice cream, a sweet savoury cherry 🍒 compote, clotted cream, strawberries 🍓 and whipped cream. Strange, isn't it, that we Londoners, rush to and from our daily commute, without visiting the rich heritage right under our noses...
