Graham Coombs left this review about The Fellow

Typical modern refurb of an old boozer - lots of distressed wood and some arty graphics, with a small kitchen counter. It does have a roof terrace however. The keg taps are mainstream/Beavertown, with 3 handpumps offering Youngs Original, Proper Job and a Stan's Cider.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Fellow

Seemingly unbranded Youngs corner pub handily located beside Kings Cross station. Refurbished since my last visit some 12 years ago with a reasonable amount of semi-traditional wooden furniture. Just London Original (£5.35, but in great form) and Sharp's Atlantic available from the three handpumps.

This attractive corner pub is named after The Fellow, a French steeplechaser who won not only the Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris (1991), but also the King George VI Chase at Kempton Park on Boxing Day the same year, and again in 1992. At Cheltenham he came second two years running in the Gold Cup, the most important race in the world for steeplechasers (though less famous than the Grand National), beaten by the shortest possible margin on both occasions, before winning the race in 1994. The pub sign has a design based on the horse's head, equipped with the blinkers that he wore in later years, and there is a display of Racing Post pages pasted on the walls of the toilets for anyone who can't be bothered to find the details online. Anyway, enough of horse racing, what about the pub?

It's a typical London street corner pub with three entrances, one of which seems to be out of use, and one which leads to something called the Black Door Bar (which I didn't have time to investigate) and a roof terrace (ditto). Inside the pub itself, the bar is on the right with a kitchen in the far left corner, and what might be termed a semi-snug in the far right corner. Tables are set out dining-room style, in rows. There is an interesting mix of old (the ceiling, possibly the bar counter) and new (repurposed rough timber - some possibly scaffolding boards - on the walls and pillars. Some quirkiness was evident in a handful of plants in Mason jars, and lamp stands made to look like pineapples.

The bar has three hand pumps in the middle of its length, with two sets of seven keg fonts either side. The real ales were Youngs Original (or Ordinary, as I usually term it) doubled, plus Purity Goose. I have had some bad experiences with Ordinary in recent London visits, but as I told the lass who served me, this was actually a superb beer. This pub is so handy for the trains at Kings Cross that it might replace my usual visit to the Parcel Yard in future. If the beer quality is this good the next time, there's every chance.
