A pretty decent pub well described by others, below. One historical feature is the division bell, still in use, apparently. Ales on were Doombar, Adnams Sloe Storm, Long Man’s Old Man, Old Dairy’s Snow Top and Orkney’s Red MacGregor. There were a few issues with beer quality due probably to not moving it quickly enough, but on the whole it was a good visit. I’d be very happy to come back here.

There were no less than seven real ales on when I visited at early doors on a weekday lunchtime. They included the usual suspects of Nicholson's Pale Ale, Doom Bar and London Pride, but also Inveralmond Ossia, DBC Dusk Till Dawn, Shipyard Rye Pale Ale, and Titanic Plum Porter. There were also four casks apparently on stillage behind the counter - two were badged for Oakham Citra and Brain's Rev James but also coming soon; a third was unbadged, and the fourth was badged for Titanic Plum Porter. An interesting development which I haven't seen in a Nicholson's pub before. Food was as per usual for Nicholson's - a sausage sandwich was £7.25; main courses ranged from £9.75 (scampi) to £14.50 (salmon fillet).
This is a small single-room pub, and very different from when I used to visit it in the 80s. But that might be a product of my poor memory, although then it was carpeted whereas now it's bare-boarded of course. There are tall tables/tall stools in a row in front of the bar counter and upholstered fixed bench seating around the sides, with three (modern) glazed panels as a buffer between some of the tables and chairs. There's a dining room upstairs.
It's a typican Nicholson's pub, with lots of dark wood around the place, and little in the way of the original pub left inside. But it does the job it's intended for, and was fairly busy with office workers being only a stone's throw away from Westmister. I reckon that the Nicholson branding is the best of all the Mitchell & Butler brands, but to be fair it doesn't have a lot of competition in that respect. And my pint of Ossian was in super condition.

Decent smallish Nicholson's pub with several real ales including a honey IPA @ 5.4% ABV called Hiver. The place still has a division bell rung to call MPs back to parliament. I liked this place and would return.
