Unbelievable value for money in the kitchen. Go to the West End and you'd have to pay four times this (literally) for this kind of entirely home cooked comfort food.

Really felt at home here! Staff remembered what we were drinking after the 1st round! Got roped into the Monday night quiz which was great fun! Great atmosphere and endless list of beers available. Whatever it is, they've got it right!

Went for lunch. Cheap and nice food. Friendly bar staff and it has a cinema in the back! And there's big sofa beds too.

I was amazed with the fact that there was Polish poster of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Juive performed at Poznan's Opera on the wall. It tells a lot about genius loci. Alcohol and food quite fine, not to crowded.
