We've know this pub for a long time, and it's reasonable enough. The rather nice period interior is worth a visit, but be warned the long and narrow downstair bar can get overly full of office workers around knocking-off time. And if you want to get away from the hordes, there is always the upstairs bar, which is often an oasis in the middle of all Covent Garden's chaos. It does a nice, if limited, pint of ale and reasonably priced pubbe grubbe, but visit it in the afternoon when there's less competition.
