The Theodore Bullfrog, WC2

This split level pub felt more like a bar for the mid thirties suit brigade. I suppose that I am nearing my mid thirties so would be classed as one of them, but I don't talk about my work for 3 hours after finishing it every evening. The staff were amiable enough, but it was patently obvious that they didn't want to be there and I don't really blame them. Maybe it is more pleasant during the day or at the weekend. Tring Sidepocket and Jack O'Legs were available along with Spitfire and various lagers. I went for the lager as no other person seemed to be drinking the ale. There is a plasma screen, but I don't know if they have Sky Sports etc and food is served from 12 until 8. Thankfully I was able to shoehorn myself into a space outside so that I could have a smoke and rest my pint on the ‘smokers ledge' that runs around the outside of the building. Although busy I couldn't see the attraction other than locality to Charing Cross Station.
