Has all the appeal of a punctured colostomy bag - and as for the service and beer? I can't even be arsed.

No Potato headed Media types? GYAC � it's in Clerkenwell FFS! I'm sure the beer has improved � if you can actually fight your way to the bar to order it!

Used to be called The Bell - and lo; was full of Bell-ends! I do believe they had Artic Lite on tap too. Nuff said.

Good beer - but the exterior is filthy; fag butts, empty bottles, broken glass, crisp packets, chalk boards advertising World cup qualifying matches from 2002, dead Karaoke singers � you name it. Wait long enough and it'll drop dead at your feet. Even the Tesco staff avoid it and walk another 100 yards to drop their guts in the Red Cow in preference. Nice friendly warning signs in the car park too. ZZzz

Good beer, but the place smells of twenty years of chip-fat/fags - food is average (I've never ever had a Hot Ceaser salad before - yoiks!!), but the bar staff are very friendly. Karaoke? Lucky enough to have never witnessed it here, but it was invented by the Japs, so let them do it badly instead and spare the rest of us please!

A very sanitised and expensive experience - relocate it to Islington where it belongs!

We visited this pub for a meal on a summer's evening in June 2006, and had a pretty horrendous experience:� over an hours wait for food; with the wrong meal order eventually being delivered, and general chaos when trying to order a round of drinks. On complaining to the Manager on the lousy service, we were told that thay were "staff training" (on a Saturday night??? - WTF!) and aforementioned manager was totally aloof and would not refund our money � muppet!
A hasty letter to MacMullens Head office resulted in a promt reply, a VERY apologetic letter containing a full refund in the form of a voucher.
We went back in July, and what a result; the food was deliverd within a reasonable time and was very good - they had more staff, who were very fiendly (although the fact we handed over the refund voucher may have biased our service). I would now recommend this pub based on their efforts to reinstate customer confidence, and it's superb location and beers.

For the more discerning amongst us with good food and real ale in a pleasant setting, with not a burberry cladded cretin in site � thank god!

Hidden away at the top of the hill near the church. Used to be run by a delightful gay couple who couldn't do enough to ensure your visit was a pleasure. Unfortunately they moved on to pastures new. They used to serve the best pint of Adnams this side of suffolk.
We went back a few times after they had left, and the new owner/tennant was a miserable bastard who complained when we moved a sun brolly that was dangerously loose on our table. He lost our custom after that episode, and that of quite a few others from what I gather - as he is now himself leaving! Adios, you grumpy git!

CAP'S LOCK not good. Thicko punter in "pub serves food" while parents point toes skyward shocka! I want my money back, innit!
Actually, it is really a very good pub, when not full of bango-strumming, toothless simpletons (that's the summer evenings - dig?).
