This pub brews four beers on site: SW1, a session ale
at 4% which tastes like nectar; SW2 stronger slightly darker at 4.8%, ale drinkers will fall in love with this
beauty; Pimlico Porter brewed from a traditional 18th+19th century recipe at 4.5%, dark and
rich definitely a winter warmer, one for the connoisseur; Victorian Lager, this original lager beats even the best
(Stella, Kronenbourg, Heineken, Beck's) so I'm told. They also do a smooth flow
version of the Porter, but if you like the original why try a monster? The orange
is a lively but friendly little pub on the edge of
Belgravia and a stones throw from Sloan Square tube station. Traditional pub foo d, but the menu is soon to be revamped.
Take my advice try their ale. The inside is all dark wood and the floor space is
very limited around the long 'L' shaped bar. On the walls there is memorabilia
and a huge picture
of the the Orange Brewery. In the back of the pub you can see a barrel type
structure with a clear plastic top. You can see the mash tuns in the brewery
below here. Seating is a mixture of round/square tables and chairs, plus a
couple of high wing backed pine chairs near the toilet. Talking if which, the
toilets were basic, but pleasant enough. Carpet throughout (not toilets). Well
worth a visit if you are in London. Access for the disabled is possible, though
space is limited. The closest tube stop is Sloane Sq - you even get to pass Lord
Linley's shop!

This pub is owned by Bass and thus only serves Bass. Not much of a choice.
They do however serve good measures and the beer is well kept. At £1.90 a pint that's not
bad. Its a very busy pub with a happy atmosphere. The clientele are young & there are
a number of tourists. Despite this service is good. The decor is the usual tasteful
brewery's idea of comfortable but 'with history'. The music can get loud though. Food is
available at lunchtimes only until 3pm. One other serious problem is the toilets. They are
Small, there is no paper and no locks. Watch out. No accommodation is available here.
