Despite certain features like the black-and-white autographed photos, it doesn't feel cliched or dated. It gets crowded on Fridays, but otherwise it's apparently quite quiet, with cosy booths as well as ample table space (note that they sometimes close early in the week, depending on patronage, but also due to private bookings).

Naturally, the wine list is extensive - St. Veran, Gigondas, Gavi di Gavi, Chablis Premier Cru etc. - but not too pricey: a large merlot was £4.20, only 20p more than house red. House champagne is sold at £6 per flute, whilst London Pride is the sole bitter on offer. Menu-wise, their pizzas seem the most popular, but the lunchtime specials (e.g. farfalle with peppers and chestnut mushrooms in roquefort sauce) are tempting. They are also currently offering certain meal deals. Conclusion? We wish we had tried it earlier.

NEAREST STATION: Blackfriars Millennium Pier station
