White Swan, Farringdonback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
This pub may not look like much outside, but it an amazing 2 strorey space inside, great for parties! They seem to be trying to focus on good food, that's reasonably priced too. I'll definitely be going back for more.

Back in February it was not under new management ( just a rebranding exercise which failed ) - but it is now.
Has been fully redecorated and it is certainly a vast improvement and the external hanging baskets considerably brighten the area up.
Real Ale is back with Pride , Landlord and guests . Quality can be hit and miss but i think they are still finding their feet with getting the right mix and judging the turnover.
Food is upmarket gastro .
Staff and the new manageress are very friendly.
Closed at weekends.
A change for the better and now worth a look.

Under new management and worse than before! No real ales at all now, removing the only redeeming feature.

As previously mentioned this pub is at the bottom of a horrid office block, but once inside that is all forgotten. The beer range isnt really inspiring with Spitfire, Pride and Bombardier available, but the service is very good. The pub is well decorated. There was a Darts match going on downstairs and a poker match at the back of the pub on my visit which slightly restricted teh sitting area but this was fine as we were all standing drinkers! Worth a visit if in teh area.

OK inside as the previous reviewer says, very close to another pub of the same name which may explain why it wasn't added - ? But as several local pubs are, it sits at the foot of an office block and weeps.

It says a lot that's it taken until 2009 for this pub, located as it is in the heart of central London, to be added to BITE. One might be forgiven for thinking that betrays a certain anonymity, and one would be right. This is an inauspicious looking place, located in the foot of a pretty horrid office block on one of London's least appealing thoroughfares. Inside it's a bit better: smartly appointed and with a palatable looking menu and three or four real ales. I didn't find the service particularly friendly, though.
