I gave three stars for the staff (mainly men, it appeared) who were obliging, friendly and not short, incidentally, in the looks department. Great old pub with a good overall vibe. Missed out on a table on the upper level and settled for some seating on street level which was really enjoyable. My friend and I settled for battered fish and chicken schnitzel which was usual pub fare but the accompanying salad consisted in my case of a few limpid leaves swimming in a bit of dressing and half a cherry tomato and my friend's salad was worse, with no sign of anything else but the inner white core of some variety of lettuce - not even half a cherry tomato!
