A real find within spitting distance of Paddington station. The Cleveland Arms is a proper pub, eclectically decorated, nestling within an area full of large white Georgian townhouses. It is not particularly big, but people are often more than happy to make room - particularly on the quiz night, which is a friendly occasion, despite the gruffness of the quiz master/landlord (we think he's just shy). There are 3 ales on tap (Greene King IPA, Bass and a guest ale), and more choice in bottles, plus the usual; all at decent prices, as befits a truly independent pub. The background music is just that - in the background. Plus, we should mention the food in this review: it is honestly and unashamedly microwaved in front of you on the bar, and not only tasty but excellent value.
