The Shaftesbury Tavern

This is a traditional pub with an attractive, unspoilt interior featuring a central bar in the main room and a separate room down the far end, each with its own distinctive character. In fact I believe the pub has been refurbished in recent years to bring it back to its former glory and a great job they have done with this. There are four handpumps offering a varying range of ales (only three in use at the time of my visit) for me an excellent pint of Hammerton's N1 went down very nicely. The one thing that is not traditional about this pub is the food which is Thai (although there are one or two British options for the unadventurous). I opted for the Plaa Choo chee, a deep fried cod dish, in a mild red curry with peppers and served with jasmine rice. This proved an excellent choice and good value at £12.50. Staff are very welcoming and friendly; there are a few tables outside.

Just down the road it is a cosy place with a great food menu and a wide range of drinks. Really nice decor inside and outside seating for when the sun shines. With a visit.

This is a great pub, good selection of ales, and fab Thai food. Dan and the staff are very welcoming, and when regs allowed the Covid compliance was great too.

Perfectly good sunday roast and at at sensible price. Will definitely go again when in London. Also excellent selection of real ales to wash it down.
