I came in for a few minutes, after a super stressful day…. A pint of IPA always relaxes you…. But the contagious smile of the girl behind the counter (the most beautiful girl I've ever seen) really brought me back to life❤️…. Thank you so much☺️

Mis amigos y yo vinimos a The Speaker por casualidad y estábamos muy contentos de que lo hicimos! Fuimos recibidos por personal bien informado y amable que no dudó en hablar a través de las opciones de cerveza con uno de mis amigos más exigentes. Como un gran bebedor de cerveza yo mismo, estaba muy feliz de ver una gran selección en oferta. Siempre es un placer encontrar una gran joya escondida - sin duda volveremos!

Genuinely one of the best experiences working with a venue for an event. Nothing was too much trouble, the pre-planning and communication prior to our event was prompt and helpful and so easy. On the day, the room was setup perfectly, plenty of seating, lovely touches to make it festive and personalised. The tab setup was efficient, the drinks were great and the team could not have been more welcoming. It's the perfect cosy pub for a Christmas party and I'm so glad we could book the room. We ordered our own food in and it was no trouble at all, the team even cleared up all the pizza boxes which was so kind! As a frequent visitor of the pub anyway, this was the cherry on top of what I already knew to be a great pub! Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a nice venue for leaving drinks, a party or any occasion needing a space in a pub!

Visited during a quiet lunchtime. Excellent cask ales. Well served. Decent pub. It used to be the Elephant & Castle and this newer iteration is much tidier. Beware though, the toilets are upstairs. And the stairs were built in Victorian times so they are quite steep.

Best original Pub in London! With a welcoming atmosphere, we had such a great time drinking beer and getting to know the locals. Everyone is so friendly and had a chance to meet the owner, Tom who is so down to earth. The bartenders Max and Anya are amazing and gave us the history about real ale. ***Americans ain’t got anything on beer until you come here! Frank the dog left a place in our hearts! Such a wonderful pub to visit!***

Roaming around the area came across The Speaker appropriately named as probably mentioned before. Very good customer service and dog friendly, I noticed the cute little hound in the corner on his bed by the stairs asleep. Later. he woke to see how things were going say hello and check everyone out. He's definitely in charge. Loved it there. Will be going again.

The bar staff are super welcoming and knowledgeable, always ready to recommend something great. They don’t serve food, but they’ll suggest nearby places and let you bring takeaway to the pub. And don’t miss out on saying hi to the cutest sausage dog around, Dr. Frank, he's quite the charmer!

Horrible, horrible service from Kira. She absuletly doesn't have a clue of what customer service is, she doesn't know what crucial conversation are, and most importantly she doesn't know how to deal with customers in a professional way! Disgusted from her service, she lost 20/30 customers only because she is not capable to deal with different expectations and requests. Shocked to see how a business can relay and trust in a not trained manager.

As best I can tell (as a Yank), this place is the real deal. We asked the bartender if they served food, she said no, but recommended a fish & chips place a block away. We enjoyed tasty fish and chips (takeaway) while drinking some delicious cask ales, all in this nicely furnished gem of a pub. Will keep this in mind next time I'm in London.

Lovely little bar very clean and cosy. Loved that it's dog friendly (although sadly no dogs on our visit) and a extra bonus that it's child free (parents of a 3yr old having a weekend child free 😂) Staff seemed nice enough Only thing I'd say is the gasses definitely need looking at as for a pint of cider there were almost 3 full glasses of froth poured in addition to my pint and almost 2 glasses for a pint of lager 🤯 didn't affect us but can't be cost effective surely

Popped for a quick drink with some friends before heading to dinner, but one of our friends was told (after we'd all been served as we're 30+) that they could not serve her as she did not have a valid I.D. on her. The manager then came along and told us that she had to leave the premises altogether because they do not welcome anyone who could be under 18 year's of age, even if accompanied by an adult. No refund offered on our drinks either... Pub looks okay but had the atmosphere of a place in decline. Plenty of better pubs to go to round the corner!

Tijdens de recente hittegolf door de stad aan het banjeren met een goede vriend tijdens onze citytrip. In de wijde omgeving geen pub kunnen vinden, totdat deze als een fata morgana in ons blikveld kwam. Het bier smaakte daarom erg goed. De keuze in bier is ook ruim en de bediening was ook erg vriendelijk. Het enige minpuntje is dat je geld moet betalen als je je telefoon wilt opladen (misschien gebruikelijk in Engeland), maar het is erg aan te raden voor als je dorstig door de stad zit te zwerven en deze pub komt in je Google Maps-app bovendrijven!
