Good and fresh pub food. Great building and right at the heart of all the legal establishments. Spacious beer garden at the back.

It's a must because of the glorious interior, unusual for a pub. Get a pint and try their pies.

Fair range of beers. Good for groups, even though it can be packed at times (esp, towards the evening).

Great venue for a hot pie and a spot of ale before rushing back to the Royal Courts for some inebriated legal argument and a risk of contempt of court.

The place's location and interiors are just great although food is not superb and in the end of my meal I spotted a MOUSE running across the pub and staff didn't do anything about it. Not good!!

Succulent pies and reasonable fuller beers.

Main hall acoustics makes nearby conversations nearly indistinct - they say it was a deliberate design feature for the old bank building
