Beer: Titanic Plum Porter 4.9%
Had the Town reached the Play-off Final at Wembley, we’d no doubt have made a beeline for this pub (it’s near to Euston Square for the Jubilee Line). We’d have made a tower out of boaters, drunks lots of beer and then have our football team ruin a good day out. As it is, we take the opportunity to take a trip to London – primarily to spend the £10 Paxton and Whitfield’s (posh cheese emporium) gift voucher that me brother bought for my birthday last year.We do that. It’s an excellent shop, but too pricey. Cheese (it transpires) is nice though… but Epoisses was significantly cheaper in Fortnum and Masons (where I also stock up on Gentlemen’s Relish).
We schlep back to the pub. It’s a great place… but a bit smelly. Outside is heaving, and too hot to boot, but there’s plenty of room inside. Titanic Plum Porter is an excellent beer– a bit heavy to be on for very long, but I manage a couple (probably three).
And now it's closed down. That must have been one of it's last days in existence.
ReplyDeleteA massive, massive shame. The perfect spot for a 'first off' and/or 'last before' our train in or out from St Pancras. The Parcel Yard in Kings Cross isn't bad. A different type of place entirely (small chain, 'station' pub and kind of bespokey location and architecture).
ReplyDeleteI think I'm ok representing the views of the rest of the team; PY's great, but we'd choose the Bree over it, every day of the week.
The people from my office used to go here several times a week. Then we moved offices. Maybe that was what tipped it...
