Sam MJanuary 28, 2014Charming little place, a nice refuge from Covent Garden craziness. One of two central pubs serving draught Brodies beer, the Old Coffee House has a better range but this is cosier, and often quieter.Upvote2DownvoteUpvoted Feb 6

Alison RocheMarch 4, 2010This is a really lovely pub. I've worked round here for 4 years and there are so many tourist traps in covent garden. But this is a fab quirky place!UpvoteDownvote
LondonistOctober 16, 2011Try the food. Sunday roast was cheap as hell, with equator-sized portions. Nothing flash, but the best value in the West End.UpvoteDownvote
