This place looks like a good old fashioned boozer from the outside, but as you walk through the doors your heart sinks as you realise that you have entered a gastro pub. Thankfully I think that this is better than most gastro pubs as you are made to feel welcome by the polite staff, even if you are not dining.
There is some outside seating running up the side of the pub that was a pleasant area to have a couple of beers.
Pride, Deuchars and Meantime Pale Ale were available alongside a standard and premium lager selection.
I'd rather drink in a pub that has awards for beer rather than food, but this place is well worthy of a visit if in the area.

Gone a bit gastro-pubby, with "mediterranean" food, but still retains old back-street boozer charm and keeps an interesting guest ale or two amongst an impressive wine list. Quite close to Earls Court exhibition centre.

They had Pride, Deuchars IPA and Harvey's Best on – the Harveys was on good form and at £3.10 a pint the going rate for the area I suppose. This pub still retains a number of its original features, most notably, in my opinion, the wood panelling in the back bar. This was clearly originally a two-room pub with the public bar at the front and the saloon bar at the back, although some of the panelling that separated the two bars is still in place. But it is no longer the backstreet boozer that I remember from the mid 80s, although the furniture seems not to have changed much.
The emphasis now is on the food, but I had no trouble getting a seat to just have a pint at 2.10 on Saturday afternoon. It still had the feel of a pub to me, albeit an “upmarket” one – gastro food-centric, bare-boarded etc. Worth dropping in for a pint if you're in the area.
