> This is a traditional real ale pub with excellent beer. Word is that  
> the landlord recently removed the lager taps, so lager is now of the  
> bottled variety only.[2]
>
> Every time I've been I've enjoyed my beer and there's been a real  
> cider on. There are bottles of gaymers or something else if you  
> prefer the taste of chemicals.[3]
>
> There's an extensive menu of pub food cooked by a french chef. I've  
> eaten here, it's quite nice.
>
> I seem to recall the scotch selection was somewhat lacking but then  
> I'm a scotch snob and perhaps others find it adequate.

> Tube links:
> Farringdon is nearest, on the everything-else line[4], one stop out  
> of kings cross
> Chancery lane is only a few minutes away too, on the central line.
> Russell square on the piccadilly is probably stretching it, change  
> at holborn and go to chancery lane.
>
> Experimentally, I'm not bothering to look up buses because it's  
> loads of effort. If you resent this, let me know so I fix it next  
> time.[5]
>
> Hope to see you there.
