This review was first published in October 2000

With Smithfield Market on the right and Bart's Hospital on the left, this handsome Victorian pub is enjoying golden years, admired for its looks, its real ales and its exceptional food. It now has an open kitchen at the end of the bar counter from which fresh grilled sardines and panbaked skate emerge. There's a wine list on every polished table starting with a house champagne at £19.95 a bottle.
