Hat & Tun — Restaurant in London

Finished work and came here for a couple of pints before catching the train home from Farringdon. £4 per pint, Monday to Friday, 11am until 5pm, makes this place one of the cheapest options around, particularly if you’re not a fan of Weatherspoon pubs (which I’m not). Three cask ale pumps but none on, at the time of my visit, contrary to the pub’s description here. Nevertheless, £4 for a decent pint of Guinness is not to be sniffed at.

A proper regular’s pub, which I like, and I don’t mind the swearing.

Wines-wise, only house red and white which was disappointing.

Overall, not a...

Noisy blokey type pub. Not one to take your nearest and dearest to. No real ale despite three hand pumps. It was a warm day on my visit and cigarette smoke wafted in from the smokers outside. It’s a pity as the inside is quite traditional despite the two tv screens showing the cricket which no one was watching. All pints are £4 from 11am to 5pm which probably accounts for the loud atmosphere and the...
