This is the St Peter's brewery tap. A long way from Suffolk, but well worth the trip. This pub serves the full range of St Peter's beers on a rotation basis. Usually there are six beers or so on the hand pumps and the rest in bottles. Not a large pub, there is a beer garden out front on the pavement. Once inside space is at a premium, so get there early. The front part of the pub has some tables and chairs on a bare wooden floor. This area leads through to the bar which is on the right. It's not large and everything looks as though it hasn't been updated since the 1800s. Some more seating is past the bar, but not much. There is also a balcony seating area which is high but small - you will see what I mean. Lots of wood about and candles in old St Peter's bottles. The pub dates back to 1720 and has a relaxed atmosphere. Alas it's not open at the weekends as are many London pubs, but it is well worth seeking out during the week. Food is served but only at lunchtimes and it is not a wide menu. For winter there is a real fire to keep you warm. The local tube stop is Farringdon. One final thing, the toilets are downstairs, not good for the disabled.

This used to be the place where they brewed O'Hanlon's, but he moved to the South West a few years back and sold the pub. The pub still serves his beers though and you wont be disappointed, up to five are on at any one time. All served with sparkler, though they taste better with it off. From the outside the pub is narrow, but inside it goes back quite some way. The first space on entering is in traditional dark wood floor, but with a high bright new looking wooden bar. Here you find up to 5 of O'Hanlon's ales at any one time. The price is as always high, this is London after all. Seating is around the walls on thin benches - there is also a huge drop down screen here at weekends for sport, which can detract from the experience. The room to the rear where the toilets are - not easy to negotiate for disabled people - there is a brighter feel with skylights and bright wooden furniture and seating at tables. There is even some greenery here. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly and well worth getting to it from the tube - nearest tube stop is Farringdon - which is not as close as you'd like it to be. No accommodation here. Food is available at certain times, though not tried on this ocassion, the menu looked fine. Call to make sure they are serving when you want to visit. Also try The Melton Mowbray, 14 Holborn, EC1, it's a Fullers pub and does most of the range.
