Improve This Listing

A pleasant, traditional pub with six handpumps featuring one regular ale and as at Sept 2024 one guest from across the UK. Also of note is the large selection of malt whiskeys (50+) on sale.

There are two televisions and a big screen, which show sporting events. In addition an outside seating area is available. Situated in a street with a more quirky character than most. In the evenings the pub can be quite noisy. Stocks Budvar Dark which is rarely seen in the UK.

Situated in two 19th century buildings – a four-storey one on the left with ‘coaching arch’ to Mews and cut into stone at the top is the word ‘Russell’ and a two-storey one on the right with a balustrade, both of London brick. Has a wooden frontage painted a deep blue colour.

Two exterior doors indicate this originally had two rooms but it is now just a single one with a bare wood floor. It has an old panelled bar counter curved on the right and at a slightly different angle on the left after the curved section so there have been changes (or different as they were in two rooms originally?). The bar back on the right is old with three bays with plain mirrors and shelves held up by pilasters with capitals. Lower shelving looks more modern as does the pot shelf. The left hand two bay bar back looks more 1960s with glass shelves.
