    Good and fresh pub food. Great building and right at the heart of all the legal establishments. Spacious beer garden at the back.

    It's a must because of the glorious interior, unusual for a pub. Get a pint and try their pies.

    The pie is worth getting. There are more tables on the second level on way to bathroom.

    Fair range of beers. Good for groups, even though it can be packed at times (esp, towards the evening).

    Great venue for a hot pie and a spot of ale before rushing back to the Royal Courts for some inebriated legal argument and a risk of contempt of court.

    The place's location and interiors are just great although food is not superb and in the end of my meal I spotted a MOUSE running across the pub and staff didn't do anything about it. Not good!!

    Main hall acoustics makes nearby conversations nearly indistinct - they say it was a deliberate design feature for the old bank building
