Jerusalem

A bit of a hidden gem, that unless someone recommends it, you'd not likely find or try… a basement with an unprepossessing entrance that leads into a vast cavern, with a huge bar, and widely spaced and BIG tables – some of which are ideal for parties of 10 or so. Particularly good if you want to be able to actually talk to, and be HEARD by, your fellow guests – increasingly difficult in The Charlotte St area.

Surprisingly good value, with a wide menu range that can meet most tastes. Not gourmet, but good, hearty food, fresh, well garnished, and nicely presented… extending traditional pub fare into more exotic ideas. Service slick and very friendly.

They don't need to give special offers, cos the basic menu is such good value – many main courses around a fiver. Frequently changing blackboard specials. Two can easily eat and drink for under £50.

Probably best avoided late evenings Tuesday-Saturday , unless you're into a disco scene…when it gets really busy. So let's keep it as ‘our’ little secret for lunchtime or early evening dining !!
