Fine for service, good for price and selection. I just wish that they could figure out how to serve food hot.
Last week we ordered two "well done" sirloin steaks. One with Chips one with Jacket Potato. The one with chips was cooked ok but dry and warm, the other one was cooked medium and was just hot. Adding the butter to the potato was a problem as I had to stuff it fast in my mouth before it congealed to a cold lump. Peas - as always are cold the moment they hit the plate. Chips generally warm enough to start but soon they are clammy.
Eat quick.

I hope the refit involves upgrading the miserable landlady and the miserable barmaid. Such a joy to order from they are.
It's a nice place but these two miseries put us off.
Was very upset one day when we ordered food and one dish turned up looking and tasting awful. Landlady turned up without asking and asked if it was alright? When told no, she said it was the last one and when she saw it she thought it might not be good enough to be served. So why did we get it then?

OK I'm not smoker but I don't mind smoking pubs as long as its not blown in my face and I can escape it. In the Cap if you turned left when you went it you could usually forget it was a smoking pub as the entrance area made sure the smoke usually never reached us non-smokers.
But since it went non-smoking.....
After an initial rush of older non-smokers in the place it seems to have died a death. There is no atmosphere in there anymore - (and I don't mean smoke). We still go in there, as the beer selection is very good and its cheap.
But who wants a pub with a man playing with his organ for entertainment?

Have really started to like this place over the last few months. Food is excellent. Cold beers are cold and the seats are nice.
Never bothered with the quiz but who cares its a rather nice place to have an evening drink.

The Bell And Compass, Charing Cross
Maybe the last review was an indication of what was about to come. I walked past this place at 9pm on a tuesday and it was shut, empty and no signs outside the premisis.
