Operator: Market Taverns
63 Lambs Conduit Street, Bloomsbury, London, WC1N 3NB (View on Google Map)

Sept 2023 - in summer, three of the pumps may be used for cider such as Snails Bank and Cockeyed Cider. But now we are into Rugby World Cup time - 3 pumps feature rugby themed beers from London breweries - Portobello, Sambrooks, Southwark.

An independently run free-house which many years ago had been the legendary real ale house, the Sun. During 2016 ownership passed to Market Taverns - owners of the Market Porter at London Bridge. Also once the home of the now defunct Bloomsbury Brewery which had occupied the cellar under the previous owners.

A predominately young clientèle, the pub can get crowded most nights but there’s an outside seating area providing over-spill and a place for smokers together with an upstairs dining/function room which can provide a quieter area if not being otherwise used. The pub is becoming famous for its thin based pizzas but there are many other options. You can find the latest menu on their website.

The pub now have Dinner for One Hundred residency in their kitchen. They have other sites in London and "they make delicious pizzas". Look at their website for more details - https://www.dinnerforonehundred.com/. The pizzas are available for eat in, take away and delivery.

Card payment only.
