Strong, consistent praise across multiple sources.

A confident, bustling gastropub that skips sticky carpets for sticky pork fat on toast and massive sharing joints of meat.

Ordering Strategy

This menu is built for sharing; gather a group of 3-4 people to tackle the large meat joints and pies on the blackboard. Don't skip the snacks.

What to order

Safe first

Scotch Bonnet Pork Fat on Toast

Universally acclaimed as the pub's signature snack; a rich, spicy 'Bat-Signal' calling you to eat.

Hungry

Sharing Sunday Roast

Famous for large-format feasts like spit-roast chicken or beef and bone marrow pie that require a group.

Wildcard

Beer Onions on Toast

Described as a 'frankly indecent' and 'oozing' savory treat that rivals the pork fat toast.

What to skip

Skip
Fish StewWhile the meat is consistently praised, some critics have found the fish stews and gnocchi to be 'so-so' or 'okay'.

Good to know

Sunday lunch is legendary and requires booking well in advance. Walk-ins can often find space for snacks and drinks in the front bar.
