Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Quill & Scholar
Completely refurbished by Heartwood Inns after a period of closure, and it certainly looks quite appealing these days. There is an elongated bar area at the front, with the slightly split-level dining areas beyond (although the latter was much busier than the former when I visited). Doom Bar, Landlord and Tribute (£4.80, so-so) available from two banks of four handpumps on different parts of the counter.

A bit like a Yates's pub. The pub stretches back with a long bar on your left as you enter. 3 handpumps but only 1 working with Doom Bore on. Its alright but not great

A nice brick Georgain facade, with pilasters, that has just re-opened after a refurb and no, isnt the Oak. The interior is an open plan room, very clean and bright, with the mix of brown sofas, high tables, stool chairs and a pine polished floor. Yes, a little souless.
The guy behind the bar was massive - looked like an ex American wrestler, but was actually a nice bloke, so one in the eye for all those that employ eye candy with no customer skills. The clientele was younger based, though i didnt feel unwelcome, or that there was going to be any trouble; lads sporting stick up hair and Henley's shirts, the girls in gold high heels.
Beerwise - usual tosh, with Ruddles, London Pride, GK IPA and Pedigree on handpull - common enough, but i was assured the Pride was good and Ruddles was decent enough, so no complaints there
The place struck me, in some ways, as being an up-market Spoons. Its not my kind of place, so i wouldnt go back, but saying that, there would be a lot worse places to visit
