The management has changed and the place has taken a turn for the worse. They took the good chef and the the pub cats with them. The menu is poncy and badly cooked- gone are the large portions of honestly cooked gastropub grub. Only one of the good waitresses is still there. The draught lines were poorly cleaned and there was detergent in my husband's pint. Shame, it was our favourite local.

If you can shove past the city lads and carve out a niche, it has the most amazing interior, cheap cheerful food and good drink selection.

The Prospect of Whitby, Wapping
Yarrr me mateys, best pirate pub in town! Great food, good booze selection and ideal surroundings. Now if only they'd get some more ciders on tap, I'd never leave...

Dignity (Taylors of Finchley), Finchley
My other local. Far too expensive. If I want an over-priced yuppie bar where I'm made to feel uncomfortable, I'll go to Soho. My kingdom for some comfy sofas and cider!

The Catcher in the Rye, Finchley
My local. Too trendy and no cider. But the food is tasty and it is empty when you want a quiet hideout for lunch.

They don't really serve food, but will happily let you order pizza if you are peckish and keep drinking. Lush beer garden with giant lavenders is heaven in summer. Best with a group of friends as a buffer to the locals.

The Morpeth Arms, Pimlico
Sunday afternoon, not too crowded but waited nearly an hour for our food (they said there was an accident in the kitchen) and it wasn't really what I ordered. It was supposed to be a chicken breast stuffed with lemongrass with a sweet chili glaze but was covered in orange goo that tasted like campbell's tomato soup. The waitress said the menu said it was 'homemade sauce' but er, it didn't.
No real cider but the seats were comfy.
