This is one of the best Pubs to have a social function. For over 10 years our company have used the lower level of the pub to have our yearly festive celebration, or back to work party. The landlady Laura is the best, and her staff are always hard working hospitable and always on hand to help. From the very beginning, in the selection of menus on offer, to being able to make requests, i.e. can we have the match on, can we bring our own music, and we also got use of a pool table, there a little cost, card or coins.... When we arrive, as you went down the stairs there as a black board letting people know the pub downstairs was a private event, as you continued down the next set of stairs. At the entrance to the lower pub there was another notification letting you know there a private function. I was introduced to all the staff that would be on hand to help, its brilliant that there is a separate bar, I was also handed coloured wrist bands. So everyone that was part of the private party just showed there wrist bands to the bar staff when requesting drinks Every year the feed back from staff is always good, the food supplied is always cooked and resenting very well. I had to request more food because it went down sooo well I would highly recommend this pub socially as well for functional use. See you again next year January, keep up the good work ;o)

A very decent Greene King close to Liverpool Street station. Early doors there are mostly Trades in, to be joined at 5pm by nearby office workers. There's a bar downstairs, too, offering much needed extra space and a sizeable beer garden out back (some of it covered and heated, with two screens for the sports). Service was, on my last visit, great although I'm sure they get more frazzled as the night progresses. The toilets (downstairs) were decent.

Food was ok, not amazing but a step up from weatherspoons, price of beer was shocking but I suppose it's central London. £7.55 a pint of IPA, ouch.

Nice pub with a fantastic selection of beers of every type. The beer garden out the back is nice but the inside is a bit dated. We only had one small dish (sausage rolls) and they were delicious, so I reckon the rest of the menu would be good too.

Decently cold and tasty pint of Guinness for £6. The ground floor is very small and packed. But the pub is near the tube station and right next to the bus stop so it’s a very convenient pit stop. We were shown the empty basement private bar to avoid the crowd and enjoy our pint. The furnitures down there were extremely luxurious.
