The Seven Stars, Chancery Lane

Went again last night - had the corned beef hash. Full credit to the cook here: food is systemtically of the same good standard. Beers consumed included Wandle and Adnams, both absolutely top notch. Love this place!

This is an unusually good pub. The beer is kept very well and to call the food "gastropub" food is an insult. The food is simple, fresh, seasonal and the menu changes frequently. It would not be out of place in a more expensive bistro or restraunt. The service is superb. My personal highlight is the bread, which is made fresh and is out of this world. There are cheaper places but it's a first rate venue in a wealthy part of west london, you can't expect them to give the food away. I think it's good value.

The Bull's Head, Barnes

I like this place but it's not without its' faults. Firstly, it's got a great Jazz affiliation (being a renowned venue in the back room.) The biggest downside is that it's a bit big, which tends to take away from the intimacy most great pubs have in common. This can be got around by using clever design and lighting, but there is no evidence of that here. The food is decent and honest; you can have either Thai or "traditional" whatever that means these days. Anyone who slates the landlord whould be taken outside and thrashed with the Cat O' Nine tails. He's not grumpy, he's human, which means you don't get the cheap smiles and easy wisecracks you might associate with someone who has been trained in customer service. But what you do get is the feeling that you are dealing with a man whose business this is. And frankly, that's fine by me. Sort out the "feel" and this would be a cracking place. As it is, it's merely very decent!
