Desvins, St Pancras, NW1

A station servery claiming to be a wine bar but managing to be nothing more than a place to sit and consume over-priced, second rate goods. Staff are inefficient and unhelpful, and none of them had English as a native language. Food was bland and pretentious. The beers were the usual megakeg offerings plus smoothflow Speckled Hen. The latter was predictably over-chilled and unsatisfactory. I shall be back for breakfast croissants but nothing else.

The Castle Hotel has now changed it's name to The Pub.

No real ale. although it does say London Pride, on a sign behind the bar, when I asked they only had it in bottles. Disable access. Update, now has GK IPA Smooth & Speckled Hen Smooth, so not real ale. Price for each £3.50 rating just gone down.
