Don't be put off by the multitude of suits that descend on the place. This is a proper pub that serves proper beer. Sports fans can take advantage of the screen suspended high above the bar area. If you get hungry, the Thai food is tasty and good value for money. A bit of history for you - the pub that used to stand on this site, The Harts Head Tavern, was used by Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators as a meeting place. Who knows what plotting goes on here now?
