The Bay & Bracket, Westminster, SW1

Unusually quiet S&L with only London Pride and Doombore on as real ales so no choice there. Usual keg offerings as well. Not worth a revisit.

This is a large open plan Slug & Lettuce with seating the stretches up the right beyond the bar on the rear wall. A mix of standard furniture and high tables with stools are found throughout. During a visit a couple of days before Christmas there was a mid-twenties crowd in attendance whilst a Christmas CD provided the background music. A premium draught range was available from the bar that supports three hand pumps. One of these was unused which left Sharp’s Doom bar and Hogsback’s T.E.A. as the ale options. I found the service to be polite, but there was little atmosphere even though it was fairly busy for mid-afternoon on a weekday.
