The Southampton Arms, Gospel Oak

Unsure about the last review. Decent pub everytime I've stopped in.

The Bell, Bath

This pub has been made famous by a visit last spring by Nigel Farage. It is here where the "Farage Wave" was born. If I see you Gary, the beer's on me!

The Craft Beer Co, Holborn

Craft Beer Company's newest and maybe their best pub. On the corner of High Holborn and Endell Street, within 5mins of Tottenham Court Road Tube and reachable from what seems their corporate bus route, No.38 (serving their pubs from Victoria to Islington) pub on two floors, service on ground floor only, and the basement can appear gloomy especially if empty /quiet. Again over 30 beer choices and what looks like a huge spirits selection. Often busy especially at night but staff numbers seemed adequate on my two visits in recent weeks, with less than a 5min wait to be served in a packed pub. All the staff seem to enjoy their job, and the manager (big tall, loud guy) has a unique entertaining style behind the bar. Food is the chain's usual limited burger menu, for varied food outlets take a stroll across the road for shops of all nationalities in the square by the Google building. If you bring your coat, you'll be wearing it all night as there's nowhere to hang it up, making it more a summer pub than a winter one.
