One room with bar to the left. No hand pumps and the keg taps were hard to read. Clearly a pub for illiterates. Upstairs dining room.

Renamed the Cavendish in 2014, this was originally the Duke of York and undoubtedly improved for having at one time being owned by Samuel Smith’s. Minus the aforementioned table service, this is really more of a made-over brasserie/bistro rather than pub with the all-fashionable square section tubular steel bar back, some bare brick walls and otherwise contemporary paint hues. There’s a herringbone parquet floor, fairly conventional furniture and dining upstairs. ‘Bathrooms’ are downstairs – no they aren’t as a bathroom requires the presence of a bath; no bath, no bathroom; muted music played and I didn’t spot a TV.
The place has a cigar selection, where a single Cohiba Siglo IV costs a very reasonable £27.60, minus the fine for smoking it indoors of course.
Ales? None. Just a large array of anonymous chrome founts. I asked for a half of lager and I’ve no idea what I got – there isn’t even a drinks menu on the wall. The bill for my half of fizz arrived on a silver platter with a demand for £2.75 which I guess is the cheapest ‘house’ lager.
Nope, I won’t be returning.

High-end bar / restaurant masquerading as a corner pub. Full of staff, but annoyingly so, with mostly table service but with a bit of perseverance you can be served at the bar and either sit there or at one of the high tables. Also has some patio tables out on the pavement on both sides. Semi-modern decor. DJ booth squeezed in - music OK but a bit on the loud side for early in the evening. Two banks of five (almost) anonymous shiny keg taps with a pretty dull choice of which the Paulaner was the best value (listed at £4.75, but 12% service charge added to the receipt so when I handed over a £5 note and received no change which about split the difference).
