Food, drink, live sport and a private bar above the bar
A pub that has fed and watered this part of London continuously since 1812 does not need to explain itself at length. Two changing cask ales. Stone-baked pizzas every day. A full cocktail menu. Live sport on multiple screens. A function room upstairs for 50, with its own bar and a dartboard that tends to come out more often than planned.
Pub classics near Liverpool Street
Three things this pub takes seriously: the food, the drink and the sport. The kitchen turns out honest pub food six days a week, the bar pours everything from a well-kept Guinness to a proper cocktail, and the big screens come alive whenever there is a game worth watching. Pull up a stool, this place is built for the evening to run long.

Our day menu is live from noon and the night menu from 9pm, Monday to Saturday, with stone-baked pizzas available every day. The kitchen covers everything from British pub classics to the perfect lunchtime sandwiches with vegetarian and vegan options across the board. Bottles of Moët, Ruinart Champagne and a spirits range that runs from gin to tequila are ready for those nights.

Four minutes from Moorgate, five from Liverpool Street.
