Experience The Blackfriar

12 February 2008
This is a cheat, but an honest cheat, as the almost mediaeval appearance is actually an early 20th century Arts & Crafts extravaganza on the site of an ancient priory.
Inside the pub, the eye delights at a thousand features and whether perching on a stool by the marbled bar or tucked into a semi-private booth you feel it's a special place.
Braying city-suits make it a bit of an ordeal on the earlier part of weeknight evenings - although happily in Summer most of them are happy to cram shoulder-to-shoulder on the virtually table-and-chair-less pavement outside.
Now that it's open on the weekends, you can visit it at a time when you can have a quiet pint and contemplate the wonderful interior.
The exquisite interior combined with very friendly service and a good range of beers make this one you should go out of your way to experience.
