We took my mum in for a drink for her 70th birthday today after she recently told us that she had celebrated her 18th and 21st birthdays in there. I emailed the pub yesterday telling them and just asking if I could take her upstairs so she could see the function room where she’d had her celebrations all those years ago. When we arrived, we ordered our drinks and were told that the first round was being paid for by the manager. An incredibly kind gesture that we all hugely appreciated. That’s how you get returning customers! Made my Mum‘s day! Thanks again!

We've been coming to the Pub Quiz on a Tuesday for nearly a year now. Its in the upstairs area which is a little quieter and has it's own small bar which opens during the quiz. Staff are always lovely and the quiz is great fun!

Popped in for food and a drink with friends. Two couples .. did separate orders. Ordered drinks .. then ordered food. Food arrived for couple no.1. Quick!* After 10 to 15 minutes, drinks arrived for couple no.2. Gin first then a few minutes later, the tonic. Another 5 minutes later, food arrived for couple no.2. *After more than 40 minutes, drinks for couple no.1 still hadn't arrived! And it really was not busy. Staff friendly. Food good. Service poor/shocking!

Situated adjacent to Farringdon Station, this pub is easily accessible. There's quite a good pub vibe about the place, with a varied clientele, majoring on local office workers who come here for lunch or an after work drink, but it's popular with locals and tourists as well. The Pan Roasted Hake with King Prawns which I ordered was superbly prepared but I did feel there was an ingredient missing: some greens. There were some sautéed baby potatoes but the samphire advertised turned out to be no more than just a garnish so the plate looked a bit bare and the meal lacked that balance that green vegetables would have given it. The desserts were very good - we enjoyed the Sticky Toffee Puddings, always a big favourite. There are about three cask ales on the bar, some from smaller breweries, although nothing local (from London) at the time of our visit and very expensive - at over £6 a pint, this is steep even for Central London. Staff could smile a bit more but are very efficient - indeed perhaps too efficient. Leaving the table unattended briefly, I had a glass still containing some beer taken away. Fortunately I managed to retrieve it from the bar counter, as at these prices you don't want to be losing even a small amount of your drink.

Decent place to pop in for a pint conveniently located next to Farringdon station. Nice atmosphere inside. This pub is in the Good Beer Guide and the couple of ales I had were in good condition. Service was efficient. Didn't try the food.

I pre-booked a table for 5 at 12:45pm for the Sunday roast. I arrived at 12:20 and was pointed to my table only to find it was for another party at 13:45. I was then shown to "my" table after a group were asked to move. When the rest of my party arrived we all decided on the roast beef. My friend went to the bar to ordered. The first roast arrived promptly and I started to eat. After a few minutes my friend asked where the other 4 dinners were and was told they had only put one through. We were then told they now only had enough beef for two more dinners so now two of our party had to have chicken. Can someone please explain who you are out of beef for Sunday roast by 1pm? Gradually the rest of the food arrived. All of the food came on plates that were at best lukewarm but closer to cold. The food was all piled on top of itself so the roast potatoes were a soggy mess under a mountain of cabbage with poorly roasted carrots with gravy already poured over the whole mess. The only slight redeeming quality was that the beef wasn't over cooked, though was very fatty. My friend then ordered more drinks - but again this was a fun experience as he had to order twice because they again "only put one through". In total our group spent over £200 for which we received some of the most inattentive service I've ever had and probably the worst roast I've ever had in a pub. At no point were we offered any money off the bill for the shambolic nature of our time there.

This place wasn't busy and had no real atmosphere. The staff are all very polite. This place is fine for a quiet drink, but I wouldn't here. My friend had fish and chips, which had bones In and came 10mins before my meal, this place was not busy at all and my food came 10mins after my friend's which is bad and no apologie for it and also no checking our food was OK, if they did I would have happily have told them this. The beyond burger I ordered was not a beyond burger, it was a cheap imitation, please change this on your menu and don't lie to people, I know what beyond burgers look and taste like and this not a beyond burger. Fries were good, burger was just ok, it wasn't very hot, probably because it came 10minutes after my friend's meal and was just left sat there getting cold. The burger also looked a mess, it looked like it was shoved together quickly even though I had to wait ages for it, also the plate wasn't cleaned. There were plenty of staff here and nit many customers, there is really no excuses for meal coming so late after my friends. Also our plates were left for 1 hour after we had a eaten, again plenty of staff so no excuses. Whilst I was still waiting for my food, this random guy popped out if nowhere, I am guessing he is the manager, he never introduced himself and he came over and read out a list if ingredients in the supposed burger, to which I said it's fine I have had a beyond burger before and I am fine with them, not knowing that it wasn't a behind burger. This random man who read the ingredients out then disappeared. This place is fine for fldrinka, but not food. If someone had checked how the food was maybe this could have been resolved. Also need more vegetarian and vegan options on the menu.

Visited the castle for the first time, a great little pub, popular with locals. There is a great atmosphere and despite being busy service was very quick. We opted to sit upstairs and it was a little quieter, which was nice. The decor is really well thought out and tastefully done, the upholstery is really sumptuous in nice velvets. We enjoyed a few drinks and then the nachos and my goodness were we surprised when they arrived to our table, home made nachos and topped with everything you could hope for! The chillis added that kick of heat and the sour cream to cool the palate afterwards. A delightful sharing plate. Superb location right outside Farringdon station. Look forward to returning with friends again soon.

Never been spoken to like this in all my years of drinking in pubs. Firstly we tried to go upstairs to the toilet and shouted at... because the upstairs was closed (ps- no sign) Then we cheered when a staff member went upstairs (in jest) Only to be approached by a manager- to tell us to stop harassing his staff and making inappropriate comments... of which none were made... then he threatened to kick us out and proceeded to accuse us of being "nightmare customers" We had 1 pint and left... never to return Ps- would love a call from the manager.

Conveniently located. A few groups of lads cruising through on a night out did add some noise to the evening earlier on... But they only stayed for the one and who was I to complain as I was also in an all-male group? (albeit slightly smaller, here for the duration, and less noisy.) Good range of beer and cider, though I switched to rum and ginger after filling myself up on food. Speaking of which the food much better than I thought it would be. I had Scotch Egg earlier in the evening, and then seeing Linda's review decided to then have Fish and Chips for T. The egg was clearly handmade with good quality mince and a lovely runny yolk. The first and Chips was medium sized but lovely fresh-tasting flakes of fish. Forgot to take photos. Good, friendly service.* Highly recommended for a conveniently located meeting point with good drinks and food. Chris P.s. * I think it's worth noting that I think they're *very* strict on drinking up time... For 11pm Friday opening hours the bell for last orders was ten forty, which is fair enough. And I appreciate business has right to choose opening hours, but collecting barely finished empties and wrapping up around us pretty much bang on 11pm was less welcome. (we downed our drinks purchased at 10-to and were out before 10-past 11). I think asking people to take the more usual ,15 to 20 minutes to finish up after 11pm would make people feel more welcome. The premises itself has a licence for midnight *plus* 30 minutes specified for consumption of alcohol bought before then, so it's not like the council would disallow it. P.p.s. thanks for your reply. In case unclear, I mean that if your hosts say to the guests what they expect then it can remove the guesswork and can actually make you feel more rather than less welcome. E.g. while collecting glasses... "Hope you enjoyed your evening. Just taking opportunity to grab some glasses now, but will leave you X minutes to finish up the rest". Better than trying to read each others body language.
