This bright and friendly in another of Bloomsbury’s more fascinating streets has been leased by the same family business for a quarter of a century. The ultimate landlord is now the Wellington pubco, which doesn’t operate a tie on beer supplies, leaving the management free to stock what they want: the real ale lines have tripled in recent years in response to customer demand. Bitter, Deuchars IPA, Wadworth 6X and Bombardier are fairly regular, and guests often include a local beer from Sambrook’s, alongside another from one of the regulars or the likes of Greene King, Holt’s, McMullen, Theakston or York. There’s a Budvar gadget offering the brewery’s pale or dark lager or a mix, and König Ludwig Weissbier is also on keg. Lunchtime food is no frills stuff like roast dinners, late breakfasts, pies and fish and chips. The pub is now one moderate-sized space, with big windows onto the street, bare floorboards and some attractive red and black tiling around the area.
