NOTE:This was reviewed on possibly the hottest day of the summer. The doors and windows had all been flung open and the ceiling fans spun like dervishes. This merely served to mix the muggy air with traffic fumes from the outside world. Despite all this it was still hot, very hot and my throat was parched. It needed to be quenched by a cold pint  fast. The cheery barmaid served promptly and I had to make my choice. ESB (Cask Marqued), London Pride, Lager and Guinness were all present but for some reason no seasonal ale (why?). A cold pint of Summer Ale would have been nice. Seating was available upstairs, but fearing it would be hotter than the Devils kitchen up there I decided to stay put and people watch. The clientele were a typical cross section of people who work in Farringdon: 25-40 year olds, mostly men and either wearing suits or sporting silly haircuts. It was all quite relaxed though, with most people quietly chatting over their pub lunches. The dcor was light and tasteful, but looked too new to add much character. This is, nonetheless, a pleasant enough place and the Cask Marque accreditation probably pushes it up into the above average category.
