I went in here last week for the first time in a few years and I am happy to report that it hasn't changed a bit. The people that recently sold Ye Olde White Bear in Hampstead run this place and they are doing a sterling job. Bombardier, Brains Milkwood, Hobgoblin and Butcombe were all available alongside a limited selection of premium and standard lagers. The pub is U-shaped and very small making it a bit of a squeeze if too many people turn up for the fine ales. There is some seating out the back and even though it is tempting to spill out into the square opposite for some extra room it is not allowed and can result in a fine from the local council. Everything is small including the plasma screen, that I have never seen turned on, and the tiny toilet. This is certainly one of the better pubs in the area for discerning drinkers.
