I get here every two months or so on a sort of work cycle and the consistency of the pub is really good. Had leaving drinks here for a mate and we are always looked after. This visit I had fisn n chips and lots of real ale.....what a London Pub should be...well done to all.

Great Pub, simple, decent food, good range of real ales. Upstairs function room always seems to be busy and although I havn't made it up there...it seems really popular.
A lot of Pubs have overdone the whole food thing but this remains a good place to meet drink and make merry.

Im back again!! This place is going well. Local info tells me its a really good Monday to Friday City type Pub and Saturdays hosts Private birthdays etc. I popped in again on Friday evening. What I like is it doesnt try anything smart and Music is very background allowing the many who were there to talk like hell. I went upstairs to the function room to have a nosey and there was a packed room having leaving drinks for someone from ITN I think. The Pub is seemingly 200 years old or more and enjoying my company every four months or so and seemingly the company of many daily. Nice Pub...good vibe. Eddie

My fourth visit, I think. I like this place and I can't figure out how to describe it best. My last visit was on a Friday evening with after work crowd. A big part of my work is after-work type shuffling and I find the location and service here nice and smart. I was meeting 4 contacts who were catching the 9.20 back to Leeds from Kings X and this Pub again was a good spot to catch up, have a quick bite (Yorkshire Grey Classic Burger for all)...and praise each other for a great week of sales (Not houses obviously). We sometimes meet at the George in Liverpool street...and now sometimes here. Keep an eye on this baby!

came in here one night and have been practically a regular now. Even though its a city pub it has a feel of a nice local. Service was friendly and quick even though it was busy at the time.

No TV!! I went to watch the Arsenal v Spurs tragedy in the Yorkshire Grey. The new owners have seemingly decided to make it TV free. My girlfriend who is from Luxembourg and dislikes footie thought this was really cool. Having a hunch Arsenal were not going to do well, I agreed to have a few drinks there. We had something to eat also. The best Chicken burger (albeit on the expensive side at �7) I have had in a long time together with decent Pinot Grigio for her ladyship , and we were off. We followed up with a bottle of said wine and a handful of Guinesseseses, she tries the bruscetta...more wine. She texts a few friends who join us...more food...a platter of something, I am told...again nice. Females friends from Luxembourg also get comfy..more wine...some more Guinness for me. Maybe it was the company.....but possibly it was the Pub....we had a really good night in here...The Yorkshire Grey...ten out of ten. The game...Arseanl lost 5-1...I am told the next morning.

The Duke of York down the road is a decent Pub but I am glad to add the Yorkshire Grey finally to a decent Pub list in this area of Clerkenwell. Following a few years of various models, there is something right about this old Classic. I had a Club sandwich there last week and it was 100% a club sandwich, crispy and hot bacon, tender chicken and toasted bread...first class. We returned with 4 others in the evening and I had the Classic burger...again first class but maybe gerkins as an addition would be a recommendation. There were 4 real ales (three were on) and the Guinness was...Guinness. If the current operators can keep up this opening standard, maintain the consistency and not fall away...the guys across the road in the Chambers will be wearing away a path. Well done and pleeeeaaaassse keep it up this time.

The Duke of York, Clerkenwell
always wary when I see Thai Food in a Pub but it works here. Nothing fancy just a good Pub.
