Randomness Guide to London - Roebuck entry

This place is much easier on the eye and feels a lot more comfortable since the recent refurb. The garden out the back has been done up and it is also a vast improvement. Unfortunately it has to be vacated at 21:45, which I think is a little early, although this may be out of the pub's hands. I'm not a big fan of gastro pubs, but this place used to be a dive and anything would have been an improvement. There are four ale pumps, two of which serve up Young's Ordinary and the other two are Winter Warmer and Bombardier (which was good). There is also a selection of standard and premium lagers. I didn't find the staff to be the friendliest of people and the manager was more interested in talking to the young ladies. I asked him about the refurb and he was very dismissive saying the pub was done up 5 weeks ago – which was untrue. There are better places to drink in this area.
