    Great atmosphere. The quiz on Sundays is always a sweet treat at the end of the week. Staff are really nice. Just a little pricey for what I'd expect, but it's a great place for uni students nonetheless.

    Had some food here and it was great. Really good quality. All sourced locally too. Staff are excellent and since changing thier name and ownership it has seen some great improvements. They also have a working fire which was a really good feature that creates a great vibe and atmosphere

    The gluten free pizza was very good (not often the case in many places). It took a while, because of the extra anti-allergen protocols - very reassuring for coeliacs! Good choice of burgers, almost all with veggie option. Overall food was pretty good. The gender neutral toilets were a not of such a high quality. They weren't particularly clean when I visited, and need some repairs....

    They were a bit blown out of munu options after loads of students graduated when we were there, but the spicy burger sure was hot!

    Had drinks with family and friends after my daughter’s christening here yesterday. Charlie was very helpful with organising, and the staff were lovely! Food was nice and came quickly after ordering. Will definitely be coming back!

    We came yesterday for their Halloween Tuesday event and had so much fun! The staff were lovely and the food and cocktails were delicious. We noticed that a lot of things were half price which we thought was just for Halloween but were told that it’s every Tuesday! Was busy but we will definitely be back to take advantage!

    Great pub, great atmosphere, somewhere relaxed and stylish to enjoy some great food and a good collection of drinks at an even better price

  • 5/5 AJ P. 10 months ago on Google
    Great, quick service. High quality tasty food! Below review knows nothing about a good quality student pub!

  • 1/5 cal m. 10 months ago on Google
    Avoid this place like the plague. Manager and staff can not handle high volume of customers. Waited for an hour for a burger. If I was a manager I would be ashamed. Staff knowledge and speed of service rubbish. University should come and revoke the lease.Tables out front need to be jet washed with grime all over. Watched three groups of five people walk out after waiting in line for ages just for a drink. Atmosphere given five as everyone’s laughing at how long it is taking to be served. Menus showing different prices than advertised

    Great little student spot that is open to everyone, on different days of the week they have specials on like £2 a drink (we are talking Premium Spirits and Beers) also the food is ok, some days it’s £5 for a burger or a Pizza. The Shisha in the back garden is great as well, not too expensive.

    absolutely wonderful place!

  • 5/5 Will B. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic pub & staff. Always provide a great service for us after games, with a great selection of pints and great food on offer, would recommend.

    I like the steak hamburger and chips. Most of staff are good. The atmosphere is relaxing.

  • 4/5 Andy L. 1 year ago on Google
    Simple bar and food, run by students, mainly for students at RHUL but open to the public. Good prices although better ale choice would be appreciated.

  • 3/5 theresa b. 2 years ago on Google
    Very much geared up for students. Wraps baguettes & pizza.. fast food. Not really my kind of place! as I like a good choice of home cook food. But it was very clean and friendly staff.

  • 5/5 Keith F. 1 year ago on Google
    Great after work drink with a touch of student life. Great outdoor drinking areas

  • 3/5 Em P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great, friendly bar staff and good food for the price. Let down by general cleanliness.

  • 4/5 George S. 2 years ago on Google
    Very quick service with friendly staff and decent food if you get in there before ten. Very reasonable prices and a good selection of drinks. Nice atmosphere as well and a decent seating area make for a really good experience.

    Exceptionally long waiting time. I.e. 45+ mins Inexperienced staff. Discriminates against people who aren't able to order things online (mental health)
