A pub between the City and Shoreditch conjures up images of suited gents haranguing Hoxton fins, but there's none of that here. Just a fine pub. The well kept interior has loads of space, and the inviting bar area glitters away at you in a welcoming fashion. There are good ales on tap and favourably priced pub food. Add on a garden for summer drinking and you've got all the ingredients of a fine pub. As an added bonus, there's a carvery upstairs of a Sunday. Sure, it's a bit hidden away, but it's certainly as good as anything between Liverpool Street and Old Street. Give it a try. Unfortunately, its "discovery" by the occupants of the nearby Tea building, means that Thursday and Friday nights here are not quite so often the jaunty occasions they used to be.
