I really like this pub but it's a bit hit and miss at the weekends whether it will be open or not as they are regularly closed for weddings and they don't seem to warn in advance on their website.

So I often end up somewhere else on Saturdays just to avoid the disappointment of not being allowed in!!

Not a great place. Always seems to have private events thus barring the general public from the establishment when convenient for the owners. I agree with the previous post that the walled garden is nice. Spacious, well planted and a sun trap with a charcoal barbecue. Just don't light a cigarette! while you enjoy your £6.00 pint. If you dare you will be politely asked to go and stand 5 metres from where you are sitting to go and stand on the pavement. Bizarre. It's not a pub. It's a function room.

I think it's great they don't allow smoking in the garden.

My enjoyment of sitting  outside in pubs etc is greatly marred by smoke blowing in my face and into my lungs.

I'm an ex smoker (gave up decades ago). We are the worst moaners, apparently 🤣

But seriously, it's a big health issue. I think smoking should be banned in all public places, not just inside.

    • But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
    • Oh, I didn't know that! I didn't move here till 1991 (I think) but the NCR incarnation must have been around that time? Unless my failing memory is even worse than I thought it was, sob.
    • I just googled, and apparently there's another branch of the Soho Street Govinda's  in Theobald's Road. I had no idea.
    • yes that's the one!  it was (nearly) harmless fun to get the un-initiated to put the coin in for you i also seem to remember that the Hanway Street place was called Govinda's.  it was vegetarian, vegan even - but it was much more palatable fare than the standard Hare Krishna stuff.  I also used to go tot he Indian Y - which I remmber discussing on the EDF some eyars ago.  And then the first Wagamama opened off Russell Street
