    I worked in this pub back in 1986. I was a recent college graduate from the States. I was enrolled in BUNAC so I had a legal work permit. NHS and all. (BUNAC For every Brit who came to the US legally for summer work, one Yank could work in the UK) Anyway I stumbled upon this Pub by accident during one of my random tube journeys. Liked the looks of the place and immediately asked for work. The staff was Cockney then and the boss lived upstairs with his partner. Those were the days. I really enjoyed my summer as a Barman there. Honored to be a part of the history. DT San Francisco

      You're about same age as me. I remember BUNAC, almost went to US on it. I am hoping to visit this place with my old friend who I've known since two years old .

    I haven’t seen a video from you in ages. This one in particular is such high quality, it’s like watching the telly.
    You’re right, by American standards customer service seems sub par elsewhere. x

    I was there about 40 years ago on a visit. Often wondered if it was still around. Used to be a small parking area outside and I remember a very weird looking jeep type car there and the gear stick had a shrunken head on the top.😵 Nice to see the pubis is still going strong. Thanks. 🙂

      Did you listen to the video? In case you missed it, it is where they hung people for piracy back in the day and the gallows are still there. Maybe you should watch again 👍

    Best fish and chips in London? At a Greene king pub? Whilst fish looked decent the rest looked pretty average and the peas nuked in the microwave. Nice setting tho.
