A while ago now, this handsome pub was given the refurbishment it deserved and was brought up to 21st century standards with a bit of style and the right sort of attention to detail. On the hand pumps we have well-kept beers, and on tap a decent range of beers and lagers including including Belgian beer, there's a decent wine-list and a pretty imaginative and well-presented food menu. The décor is a little eclectic with its plaster busts etc, but the place feels much more comfortable than its previous incarnations and is much more in keeping with the building (and its environs) - and for this we salute the owners. The upstairs restaurant has now taken on the role of lounge/restaurant, hinting at a more leisurely approach to the excellent menu, but judging from how busy it was last time we were in it's not hurt business. And now it's open for Sunday lunch.
