Deuchars IPA, Landlord and Black Sheep Bitter on. The Landlord was £3.30 a pint, which is a bit steep for this area. Now bare-boarded throughout, but still retaining what appears to some original Victorian tiling along one wall. The two large models of Great War bi-planes suspended from the ceiling appeared somewhat incongruous in a pub that clearly has gastro-pub aspirations (“buffalo mozzarella, ripe vine tomatoes, fresh basil and Tuscany olive oil in a granary baguette” = cheese and tomato roll). But who really cares? It has been tastefully decorated, is quite comfortable, and is a decent enough pub if you don't mind the prices. They even have a few seats outside at the back for smokers.

The last time I came in here was prior to the recent refurbishment. The basics were intact but the place was rather tatty with worn seats and a rather tired feel. The sympathetic refurbishment has given the place a modern trendy buzz without ruining the historic ambience. The elegant main bar area has a dark and rich feel to it and features some superb Victorian tiling, large mirrors and a fireplace with an ornate wooden surround. The pub narrows to the rear where the décor is a bit lighter and doubles up as a photo gallery. A couple of model WWI biplanes dangle overhead between a couple of coloured glass skylights and at the rear a small, bright, open courtyard is ideal for the nice weather that we frequently enjoy! The beers (Black Sheep, Old Hooky and 1 off – Pride looking at the shape of the clip) are well kept (they are cask marquee accredited) although you will experience the steeper end of “London” prices. The ambience is generally relaxed with easy going music and when it isn't too busy, it is a great place to while away a few hours. Definitely recommended if in his area.
