The Crown, Soho

Met up in here for some beers and bite to eat before a cabaret show at Madam Jojo's down the road.

Nice little haven just up from Picadilly.
5 real ale pumps but only 4 on when I got there. Nice pint of Acorn from a brewery I can't remember, a couple of stronger beers from more small breweries, a good selection but started to run out about an hour after arriving.

Food is the standard Nicholson's pub fayre, I had the large fish and chips at around £13, fish was good but a miserly portion of chips for that money.

Would definitely revisit if in the area.

The Pontefract Castle, Marylebone

Intriguing Nicholson's pub just up from Bond Street tube.
Smallish bar area downstairs with a definite lack of seating but lots of room upstairs on the restaurant floors.
Good range of beers on Thursday, 5 ales including a very good pint of Thornbridge Sequoia.
Food is traditional pub fare but the burgers and pies we ordered were very good with the exception of the dessert cheese platter which was pretty miserly.
Staff pleasant and helpful.
Very decent pub, would definitely go back for seconds.

The George, Great Portland Street

Nice little pub about 400 yards from Oxford Circus.
Was in here Tuesday night and had a good evening. Busy but still found a table. They had about 5 ales on and I enjoyed the London Glory and Old Golden Hen which were both fresh and tasty. Pretty decent food too.
The bar staff were great but as there were only 2 of them and they were handling all the food delivery as well they ocasionally got overwhelmed when it got busy.
Overall would definitely go back.
