The Old Nick, hidden away on Sandland Street, just north of High Holborn is a delightful quaint pub offering a fine choice of beers both from the cask (3 on for my visit) and the keg (My "washing up" lager was excellent, cold and fresh). The staff are wonderful, jolly, friendly and efficient. The pub has made the excellent move to open at 10:00 in the morning, a great post pandemic statement.

Read moreWhat a fantastic find and a huge thank you to the amazing crew who hosted our private party at the weekend. If you want somewhere to have a do in central London with brilliant service and a great choice of drinks then I would highly recommend the Old Nick. From initial contact to the end of the party they were brilliant in every way and cant thank you all enough for making our 60th a really special night. I have drank in here as a regular punter at times over the last few years and it has always been a great place but to have it to ourselves was extra special. Looking forward to our 70th already ! Thank you...
