This corner pub opened in 1853 and has spun through a dizzying variety of incarnations. The current custodian is restaurateur Andrew McConnell, who took over more than a decade ago and has made the old boozer exactly the right fit for now: steak nights and trivia nights, cheeseburgers and vegan burgers, Carlton Draught on tap and champagne by the glass. Old and new coexist in harmony, along with several signatures, including a fish pie with its very own fan base.
