The Sheephaven Bay, NW1

I like this place with its compact public bar at the front with the two plasma screens and plenty of banter and the other bar with a large expanse of tables leading to the conservatory and courtyard that is a little more relaxed and suitable for larger groups. There are also plasma screens in the larger part of the pub, but these were off so maybe they are only turned on if requested. The only real ale is Pride but it is served well and on good form. Standard lagers are also available alongside Hoegarden, John Smiths Smooth and Guinness. The staff and the governor are very friendly and it is good for watching sports and relaxing with friends – Making it my new pub of choice if in this part of Camden.
