An unusually located pub, being in the middle of an eight(?) road junction. Named after a local admiral (JDW-esque). The split-level interior has had a makeover but has a number of appealing older features such as the attractive etched glass bar back set in white painted wood and the mosaic tiled floor. Open-plan but has a number of discrete drinking areas which makes for a more homely feel. Seven ales on the bar, mainly from Everards with a couple of guests, plus Old Rosie cider and mine was in good nick. There’s a selection of board games in the back room and up-market pub food offered. Large prints of old Beano comics adorn one of the walls. Enjoyable and worth a visit.

In the middle of Canning Circus this Everards pub sells a good selection of their own ales with the odd guest. Split level inside with a few seats and a comfy sofa on the top level and mainly dining tables down a few steps to the right as you enter. There's split level beer garden at the rear as well with an upstairs patio which was a real sun trap when we visited. We both tried the Everards Sunshgaser which was very well kept. It's a good pub which is well worth a visit if calling in the nearby Organ Grinder, Ropewalk & Hand & Heart. It's getting to be a decent real ale area up here now.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Sir John Borlase Warren
Something of a local landmark, given its position in the middle of a junction where about eight roads meet. Inside, it has been nicely refurbished, and thankfully in not too elaborate a way, and offers several different seating areas. Selection of board games available in the back room. Seven handpumps on the bar, with four from Everards (including the seasonal Old Flame at £2.50) plus GK IPA, Holdens BCB and Old Rosie cider.

The Sir John Borlase Warren used to be a Shipstones tied house and it is in the middle of canning circus.
This pub is now an Everards tied house but also stocks beers from other brewerys,when you go into this pub the bar is left and the area around the bar only has a few seats so this is mainly for stand up drinking,most of the flooring in the pub is bare wood floors.
Once you walk away from the bar there is a small room to the right which has been opened out into the main pub this small room looks quite cosy,if you carry on past this room there are a few steps down to another room this is a larger room with table and chairs people tend to dine here but drinkers are just as welcome here.
There are about 7 real ales on the bar i had a drink of Bath Ales Jem which was very nice the other beers were Everards Tiger bitter, Beacon and Sunchaser there was also Greene King IPA and a beer called Gold Course brew there are also a couple of real ciders.
I think this is a decent pub to have a few drinks in but it does get very busy weekend evenings with students.
