The Perseverance

Down a rather nice quiet street of Holborn sits this small local pub with a more wine bar feel with its varnished floors and maroon walls. Entering you almost stumble over the bar which sits side on directly in front of you and then standing to face it you can gladly discover no cider on tap, very poor variety behind the bar and a desperate selection of cheap wines all marked up over the average RRP. There are a few cramped tables out the front which is where most of the crowds congregate. The owners are nice enough but slow to serve the punters who themselves are “I’ve-never-been-in-a-pub-before” types. “Do they bring the beverage to the table?”, “How do I pay?” and in one fowl swoop a queue forms which as luck would have it lands you on the doorstep of the lamb - a far better pub in all its standing.

Overall this pub is in a nice quiet spot despite being in the heart of town but the longer I mill around the worse it feels, even hobbits would have trouble using these tiny toilets - 3/10
