The Crown, Bloomsbury

I am currently sitting upstairs resentfully drinking a �3.40 pint of extra stout -- the most I have ever paid fore anything at a Sam Smith's pub.

Anyway, when I ordered I asked "do you have any milds?" (Because I haven't yet memorised ever beer that Sam Smith makes.) The response I got was "A what?" I repeated, a mild. "What's that?" she asked.

Enough said.

The Amazon and Tiger, Harvel

I went to this pub with a group of 11 people doing the TimeOut country walk from Snodland to Sole Street. Based on the reviews below I was prepared for the worst but I have to say this pub has not got a fair shake. I called ahead to let the pub know we'd be there in a large group to order food, and they were very accommodating. Once we arrived, the staff (and regulars) were friendly, the ales good, and the food perfectly serviceable if not brilliant. It took a little while for everyone to be served but not bad considering there were 11 of us. We sat outside next to the cricket pitch, which was lovely. Altogether, a positive experience.
