Came in early evening while waiting for another. Moderately busy. Mellow feel. Enjoyed the Rivertown Quin beer we’d never encountered before. ‘Peachy, Golden, Juicy’ (?!). Also interesting large basement bar with stage.

Busy spot beside Cambridge Circus. OK bar at ground level and you can drink outside on the souther and sunny night. Acceptable range of beers, not least the IPA. Wednesday night is Comedy Night - from 7 till 9pm, held in the basement which is used for stand up and live music events.

We recently hosted our Christmas party at this venue, and while the overall experience had some positives, the buffet was extremely disappointing. At £30 per person, we expected a substantial and satisfying spread for our 50 guests. However, the buffet did not live up to expectations. The food portions were very limited, with only one small piece of food per dish per person, which left many of us still hungry by the end of the event. This hardly resembled what we expected from a buffet, especially considering the price. On a positive note, the staff were excellent. They were very hands-on, helping us set up the venue and preparing drinks at the bar quickly. Their attentiveness was definitely appreciated and made the overall experience better, but the lack of food quality and quantity was a major letdown. I would recommend this venue if you're looking for a well-organized event with great service, but be cautious if you're planning a buffet. The food offering did not justify the cost, and unfortunately, that took away from what should have been a great night. Would I return? Possibly, but I’d look into alternative food options first.
