I like this pub as it's a real gem to find in London. It's quite large but feels intimate because of the different rooms. We went for Sunday lunch at 2pm. On the whole is was good but the roasted potatoes were not crispy and tasted like ones I've cooked the day before and stored overnight in the fridge. Next time I'm in London I'll try it again.

Great location near bishopsgate and good vibe- food across 7 of us was all good on starters / mains but deserts I would swerve. Would visit again.
