On paper sounds like 'ye olde theme pub' but in the flesh Sam Smiths have pulled off another cracker.
The wood beams and rickety appearence is all genuine and work your way through to the back of the pub to something thats surprisingly rare in london, a view of the thames.
As with all the Sam Smiths the beers are excellent value. If you miss your pint of Stella or your bacardi breezer then leave and never come back as we dont want your kind anyway!
Ace Pub for people who appreciate atmosphere and beer

A Sam Smiths Pub wich automatically marks it 7/10 for me but it does not have the same individual charms of the 4 other SS pubs in the area (Fitzroy, champion, bricklayers, angel)
That said there is nothing wrong with this pub with some sumptious original features and of course MR Smiths own brand beers (loving the new 'pure brewed lager')
Absolutely fine for a quieter post-work drink with non bank breaking prices.

Beyond being a superb value sam smihts pub this is a quaint little place with several distinct little areas that makes it feel like a snug little rabbit warren of a pub. Its not huge but i thinkn thats why i like it.

From the huge lantern on the outside and the stained glass on the inside this pub feels like a little slice of old london when every pub had a distinct personality. Of course i dont need to mention Sam Smiths wonderful beer and his excellent prices.

Ace pub love it, Dripping with history which is displayed in the photos on the walls, cosy downstairs and snug upsatirs with people lining the pavement out side 3 deep in summertime.
Of course its also a Sam Smiths pub so the beer is good and the prices are fanatstic. This used to be my work local and i just keep going back.

Dont expect normal customer service from the manager here. Cashier accidently charged my friend �50 too much but he claimed it was our fault! unwilling to give the cash straight back and NO appologies. Still trying to get the cash back after a week and a half!

Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, Fleet Street
Amazing building for the pub, steeped in history with a load of different areas with a snug little cellar to drink in.
Atmosphere can be hit and miss friday night was too suity (despite some obvious attempts at dress down friday) but at quiter times have found it lovely and intimate.
Sam Smiths beer is great and dirt cheap as well. I love the new 'pure brewed lager' if you want your usual brands then bugger of to a slug and lettuce and leave the rest of us in peace!
