Horse & Groom, Belgravia, SW1

A very small single room, albeit with additional room upstairs(not visited). Situated on the corner of a street and a mews, a few traditional tables with stools and upholstered banquettes, plus the odd earlier stated high tables and stools, not to my taste either Rex. Dark wood panelling, laminated cheap wood effect floor, beamed ceiling; the pub name is picked out on the etched windows. Plasma screen in the front corner. I reckon 20 people in here and it would be full. Shepherd Neame, Kent Best, Spitfire and Whitstable on, the Whitstable was clear but tired and lifeless. An unusual touch is the umberella stand by the door, seems like a touch from another age. 7 September 2008 Closed at 5pm yesterday.......no rating left.

This is now Petrus, one of Gordon Ramsey's restaurants.
