Superb - not much else that needs saying!
Update April 2009 - has just been sold to Fullers, so expect changes. Visit it now!

Another one of my regular call ins when in this part of the city. It's well hidden down an alleyway between Ely Place & Hatton Garden. The first recording of a pub here was in 1546, but it's not this one. The current pub was built sometime in the 18th century which is still very old. There are 2 small rooms, both effectively snugs with a tree forming part of the wall in one of them. You can't get from one room to the other without going outside. The gents is also outside. Apparently there's an upstairs function room, but I've never visited. There's usually a couple of real ales available, but nothing out of the ordinary with Pride being a regular. It's not one for a long stay because of the limited beer range, but it's a must visit for one.

Magic, pure magic! Excellent real ale, small cozy rooms, good food at reasonable prices. Difficult to find and a revelation when found. It is claimed that a little girl played around a tree in the garden. Who was that girl? The future Queen Elizabeth I. Would I go again? Just you try & stop me.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Ye Olde Mitre

It's too long since I last went to the Old(e) Mitre, but it hasn't changed a bit - and thus exactly the point of the place...

Simply gorgeous pub. Ticks all the boxes, good ale, historical interest, warm and convivial. Timbered ceiling, wood panelling, lots of paintings and a small snug off the rear lounge named "Ye Closet". Attentive bar staff (with aprons), my pint was topped up to the brim immediately and without asking, rare nowadays. Adnams, Caledonian, Nethergate Old Growler, and my choice Rooster's Yankee on yesterday, plus Thatchers Cider. I didn't eat but the range of snacks are very well priced, toasties for £1:50,Scotch eggs etc £1:25 and hot sausages for 60p!

As seems to be usual wherever I go, the outside is wrapped in scaffolding so I couldn't judge the exterior however even though the Xmas Decs are up already I'm awarding a well deserved 9 to this place.
