The Coal Hole

A traditional coal outpost-turned pub by the savoy hotel with 1900 decor, traditional sprinklings of authentic dust, friendly female bar staff and a very well established character. Never really over crowded this bar is infamous for its serving of good old hearty pies which are excellent for the kind of lunch everyone dreams of in a large dramatic old style bar. There is an excellent selection of ales with a staircase at the far end leading up to a galley with good sized seating looking out on the big windows which stem from from shoulder level to a very high ceiling. There are elaborate al-freso designs at the top of the ceiling in white, and slave-like characters from old America way above the bar. Even the old style grate designs over the windows are equipped with crests and the menus sport signs of the ancient history of this place.

Overall a good location, with average prices for the area and definitely one to drink in if you fancy a bit of London culture for lunch i see no problems- 7/10
