The Yorkshire Grey , Holborn

Quite confused by Millays comments about it not being a pub and thwe lack of quality beer. Ive become a regular as my offices have just relocated here and must say this has to be one of the better pubs of the area. What makes this nice is the fact it is a one off and not following a branded enviroment. I was supprised to find out the manager was a young guy not much older than me, fantastic to see someone care about real ale instead of Alcopops and cheap lager/packets of nuts.

Over the last few weeks i have seen Woodfordes Wherry, Harveys sussex best, Hook Norton Hooky, TT Landlord, Green King IPA, and Skinners Cornish Knocker....There is always three different ales on and you are informed of whats coming up soon.

I was dissapointed last saturday when in the area tried to pop in for a quick drink, but found it closed to the public for a event, about 100 people enjoying a band playing, apparently someones birthday and they hired the venue, Spoke to one of the patrons of the party who was outside enjoing a cheky smoke (the brother of the birthday girl) and they said the party was awesome and the staff were excellent at looking after them.....Got me thinking about hiring the venue,

Food is good quality but it would be good to see a few more specials on the menu....But saying that the choice is vast and i have had something different nearly every time ive been......and its all good.

Overall its a great pub, Great Drink, Great food and most important good happy service......
