This is largely a tourist restaurant as far as I can see, with tourist prices to match, although it does do some real ale (GKIPA, Abbott, OSH and “Sherlock Holmes Ale”). Some Holmes memorabilia around the wall, plus a small Sherlock Holmes “museum” upstairs. As a pub it's not too bad as long as you don't mind lots of tourists, the pervasive smell of overpriced fish and chips, and Greene King beers. But the Ship and Shovell a few feet away is far superior.

This place is the king of tourist traps, but then that is to be expected with the Sherlock Holmes theme. It's a nice looking pub u-shaped pub with a restaurant upstairs along with a replica of Holmes’ and Watson’s study and sitting room that can be viewed through a glass wall. There is also some more paraphernalia in the main bar area including the stuffed head of the Hound of the Baskervilles which is mounted on the wall.
The barman was very friendly, but my pint of Sherlock Holmes was decidedly iffy. Greene King IPA, Old Speckled Hen and a few bog standard lagers were also available amongst others.
This place is worth a look just for the interest factor, but there are better pubs around this area.

Tourist trap pub serving four expensive Greene King ales (and the Sherlock Holmes Ale is just re-badged Morland, don't be fooled into paying more folks). I guess it has some novelty value for a quick pint and a gawp at the Conan Doyle nik-naks and the small Sherlock Holmes display upstairs. Your beer money is better spent at the Ship & Shovell a short walk away, this place is basically a filter to stop the tourists taking up valuable space over there…
