picture of Mitre
Given the rather drastic refits they've overseen in the last year or so, we were slightly concerned to see what Young's would do to the Mitre's Victorian interior. So, deep breaths were taken and thanks given, when we discovered that very little has been altered here: the fittings are still intact and the back room still has the air of restful repose that seems almost custom built for pipe smoking. This one's hardly a museum piece though, and on our last visit a steady band of local regulars were in situ at the bar. We've long held this one as one of the best pubs in the area, and the change of ownership hasn't altered our opinion: the food may be pricier than before and the upstairs now a diners only space, but this one's very much a case of where if it ain't broke, don't change it (much). (New photo to come).

second opinion:

posted by nychas - Monday 4th June, 2007, 10:05pm
visited in November 2005. It was on a Friday night and it was very crowded. The bar staff did not seem to care one bit about patrons. They were too busy talking to each other to tend bar and when they did tend bar they did not pay the slightest bit of attentionas to who was waiting longest to be served. We left after using the wc and without buying a pint because of the lousy service. We ended up in the Archery which was still open at that point and was everything the Mitre was not.
only one comment, so far on this pub - why not add your own?
