Bell and Compass Bar

The Bell and Compass sounds like the name of an old pub but in fact it is a rather new age gastro-style venue sitting on the strand in Central London. So what can be said about the Bell and Compass? Well to start off with its very pricey, I happened upon a tab of eight british pounds for a pint and shot and a soft drink. The bar is made up on an intresting collection of smaller rooms which sit behind the bar area itself, which has its own space for seating and drinking. The rooms are filled with simple furniture and cheap woods with white walls, basically the place is very plain and pushing the cleanly angle of a new style pub.

Overall, sitting at a rather low elonggated table beside an used fireplace with firneds we look around and it appears the venue is trying to be upmarket but the decor is a little downgraded. The food as well was not what the menu stated it would be, so there was disappointment there and although the place was not overcrowded, it still seemed pretty busy for a week night, so at least you can grab a seat. The consensus was a 5/10
