Latest reviews from St Pancras

“'Posh' Spoons, so more Lloyd's No. 1 than grotty highstreet. At 10:00 mainly people having breakfast and coffee but a few people with beers. Could have had 3 or 4 ticks frommtheb8nor.soncasknand equal amount of kegs... mainly Portobello ones today. I went for the Southwark Bermondsey Best..a place to kill time before a train. Disinterested staff. Ordered a half. Got served a pint.“

“Large ´spoons inside the station. Handy. 2-3 local beers.“

“A modern JDW with two sections, one of them with high stools and tables. 12 cask ales, half of them being guest ales. Can get very busy during the daytime. It might be a bit confusing searching for the place inside the station, it is easier to follow the Pancras Road until you see the place with an entrance also from the street. Polite service and, as usual, a decent traditional English breakfast, but more expensive than most other places in Britain. (Visited with Magne and Leif, 04.11.2022).“

“St Pancras Station pub on the upper level with a small but decent selection“

“Pleasant enough Wetherspoon for one situated in a train station, although I guess if it ever gets to a standing room only point it might be a little uncomfortable. Situated on the Eastern side of the station close to where the platform access is located the bar is on its inner wall. I found some local cask available on my visit amongst the usual macro stuff.“

“Visited 11.07.19. Station pub near the kissing statue at the upper level. Six hand pumps, but only three were on at my visit. All were theee were pale, citrusy ales. Also some kegs, including from Camden Town.“

“Visited Feb '19 before catching the Eurostar to Lille. This is a big Wetherspoons in the style of an airport lounge. There is a long curved bar in the top left hand corner with around a dozen hand pulls giving the normal suspects plus some guest beers. The prices for beer are very high for a Spoons, highest we have ever seen, the food seems to be at normal prices. It is clean and tidy, looking very new at present and the bar was tended efficiently and professionally.“

“Huge pub with high stools, located at the north end of St Pancras International,, by the escalators up to the Southeastern High Speed platforms. It has entrances from within the station and on Pancras Road. There are some decorative wooden casks adorning the roof rafters. A single room pub all on one level with a gently curving bar counter. We had a bitter from Portobello, Star, good finish of a long day. Visited 6/1/19“

“We had lunch here before moving to Wembley for the football match between Tottenham and Manchester United. Rather busy place early on Sunday afternoon. Good range of Shepherd Neame beers on cask, keg and bottles. Decent food and polite service. A well established corner pub just off Euston Rd, and fairly close to Euston Station. (Visited with Per, Leif and Magne 13.01.2019).“

“A decent enough station pub on the upper level with tables both inside and out. They have six casks and a few bottles. The service was friendly. (Visited 17 May 2017).“

“Visited 19/4/2018. Traditional London corner pub. Not a very exciting selection beer wise, nothing adventurous in cask though do have an ok selection of their own bottles. So not for a beer ticker but based on what it offers the local market, with decent food available and very friendly service it's not a bad place to pop into.“

“Visited for a pre-London Drinker beer fest beer and certainly better than having stood in the queue for an hour. Reasonably good range of SN beers available. Decent atmosphere inside and the outside on street bench seating is nice if you can get a seat - the road being not particularly busy. Prices as you'd expect for where it is. Service fine. Have visited a couple of times now and worth popping in to if passing close by.“

“Visited on 17 May 2017. By no means a beer destination but pretty decent as far as station bars go. Six handpumps included Adnams, Stod Fold and Wimbledon (I forget what the others were). Also a few "craft" kegs of the more commonplace variety. Just had time for a swift half before catching a train so didn’t linger long enough to get more than a fleeting impression.“

“A good, honest Young’s pub between Kings Cross and Holborn. Traditional interior and furnishings. Well kept Young’s and guest ales poured by a friendly landlord of some twenty years standing with a good team around him. Archetypal pub food menu, but the specials are exactly that, prepared with a great deal of thought and imagination. Conversation is king at the Calthorpe, and most evenings you will find a number of regular ’characters’ at the bar, whilst a TV at the rear predominantly shows subtitled news with no sound. A lovely stop for dinner and a pint on the walk or cycle ride down to Clerkenwell!“

“Having worked out of Grays Inn Road for 8 years, it’s a shame I never went in here once during that time. Finally visited in 2016 to find a traditional pub with plenty of ambiance and cosy soft furnishings including a tartan carpet. Although it’s worth coming to this single room corner pub for the aforementioned, its beer selection is disappointing, with only the regular Youngs ales available on my visit, although I did find something new from the same brewers keg offerings in here.“

“Pleasant enough Shepherd Neame bar, although its location close to some of the major stations means it has a chain-bar styling to it. It’s not as nice as some other pubs run by this brewer, but the durable traditional fixtures and fittings probably means its easier to keep this place clean and fresh in appearance. Its a corner pub a block south of the Euston Road and you’ll find Shepherd Neame ales in both cask and keg along its bar, which has two sides to it as there’s a part wall separating the service area.“

“In the Upper concourse of St Pancras, there’s doors from both the inside and its outside, the former at the top of the large set of steps out front. It feels like a compact chain pub, with a good selection of cask and keg options along its bar. Certainly handy if you have a wait for a train, there’s also an outdoor area on the atmospheric inside of the station in what is a very quiet area of St Pancras.“

“Noisy with muzak. They have moved the bar so as to be closer to the terrace bar which is the evening hangout so drinkers may prefer the bar. Service was swift and courteous by London standards. Barman born in this century if looks were a guide. Went fir Trumans draft one of six on offer plus 9 tap and Camden Notting Hill bottles. You can get a cheeseburger for £12.95 today. The poet rotates quietly somewhere“

“Visited on 22nd August 2016. Just off Euston Road and on a street corner this is a nice looking pub, inside the seating is a little cluttered and the decor is OK. It’s a large open plan place. Had 5 Sheps beers on cask plus a couple of keg offerings, had a pint of the Goldings Summer beer which was in good condition, maybe not to my taste. Prices are steep at £4.35 for a pint. Go to the Euston tap with beer 60-70p cheaper and much better unless you have a real hankering for Kentish beer.“

“Pub in St Pancras on the upper concourse with afew beers on cask and tap. Inside layout seems to have been redone lately to cater more for diners. Handy if you are in the station. “

“2015-09-25. Beer selection was just okay, with a handful of Shepherd Neame casks - they own the pub. We found a cozy booth in the corner after clearing away some leftover glassware from the previous residents. It was quite busy at around 6:00 on a Friday with both the after work crowd and the rugby world cup on the TV. The decor is almost a stereotypical British pub from a North American perspective from the carpeting to the wall coverings. It’s nice enough, likely more so during quieter hours, but the beer selection is limited from a beer geek perspective. You will likely visit due to proximity to Euston and King’s Cross station.“

“Traditional Youngs pub between Kings Cross & Holborn. Definitely a boozer feel, which is no bad thing in this area. They have a couple of guest beers as well as the Youngs staples so could be worth a look if you’re passing. Beers have always been in good shape when I’ve popped in. However, if I were in the area (or new to the area) and particularly wanted Youngs beers I’d tend to head for the Lamb, which isn’t far away.“

“Long standing CAMRA entrant and old school Youngs pub, the Calthorpe Arms is located on the Grays Inn Rd between Kings X and Farringdon. Trad English pub with a local feel, a little off the tourist trap. Cask beers always in decent nick but lacking in choice, just Wells and Youngs standards and seasonals. No reason to seek this venue out but if you’re walking past (Queens Head to Bottle Dog or Craft Clerkenwell) no harm to pop in. “

“Just passing and I’d thought a visit for a couple of scoops would be in order, limited range of neame beers, sky sports, what seemed to be an ok good menu.“

“Decent side-street boozer found between St Pancras and Euston. Fairly ordinary but there’s some grade A mock-period (read: tacky) wallpaper. This place can get very busy, but it was lively without being packed on my last visit. Only Shepherd Neame on the five cask handpumps, but it’s served to perfection. SN’s more decent bottles such as their IPA are also on offer. Decent enough.“

“Old pub close to Euston station. 5 cask with Shepherd Neame beers + some keg macroes aswell. Boring selection, but infairly good condition. Food is okies, nothing great, but eatable. Fast service and fairly good value for money“

“An okay Young’s pub with a somewhat limited selection of mostly their own casks and bottles and a single guest cask. Polite service. Seems to me like a neighborhood pub. No point in going here unless you’re looking for some fairly common Young’s beers.“

“Not far from Euston Tap. A traditional English pub with a nice, albeit limited range of Shepherd Neame on tap and cask.“

“Last visited here in 2009 for a works leaving do. Long standing GBG entrant (when London didn’t have the strength in depth of pubs it has now - but no doubt CAMRA will insist on it - YES just checked the 2013 GBG and its in there !!!) Dreary kind of place with well kept, for what its worth, SN beers. Friendly enough clientle and busy on our visit. Not one I’d reccomend making an effort for ! “

Theydon_Bois 4169 days ago

“Fairly run of the mill pub notable primarily for the fact that’s it’s the only Shepherd Neame pub I know of in London to serve the full range of their cask beers, including the relatively rare Kent’s Best and the current seasonal. That’s five on handpump. Sadly they don’t have the Shepherd Neame microbrewery beers, but I don’t really know which pubs do have them regularly. Certainly none in London as far as I am aware. So, handy for vistors as a one stop shop for clearing up their Shepherd Neame cask scoops in a single location, should they so desire.“

“Nice Shepherds Neame pub between Euston Station and Kings Cross. Up to five cask ales, all from Shepherd Neame. Efficient and friendly staff. Good pub food. Fairly large place with smaller seating areas to the sides. Definitely wort a visit if in the area.“

“Very good place to sip a few decent ales. Usually 5 ales on cask. At least one seasonal. The only SN pub in near range of KC/SP, unless you count the Bishop’s Finger.“

“I always try to visit this one whenever I go to London. Located almost at the corner a Gray’s Inn Road and Calthorpe Street, it is a traditional Youngs pub with a cosy, relaxing and laid-back atmosphere. Just a classic English pub! On my visit in March the real ales on cask were as usual in good condition and included Youngs Winter Warmer, Bitter, Special and Wells Bombardier. It is very convenient that you can buy bottles to take away (Double Chocolate Stout, Ram Rod, Oatmeal Stout, Waggledance, St. George ale, Champion and a few others in the bottle selection) (Visited late 11.03.2008).“

“Handy for St Pancras, good Shepherd Neame range, if you’ve time before your next train it’s well worth passing the time in here. Single room and bit loud but still better than the crap nitro-sheds all along the Euston road.“

“Normally a Shepherd Neame tied house probably wouldn’t deserve a listing in here, but I think this place does. Well placed near Euston/Kings Cross/St Pancras railway stations, it is also an ideal second stop on a pub crawl starting at the Head of Steam. Shepherd Neame seasonals feature here in addition to the rare Best Bitter - beer quality is excellent.“
