picture of Witness BoxAnother Fleet Street legend, where the law and the media used to meet. With the departure of the media, it's now been left in the hands of the local legals and office workers. Over the years it's had a makeover or two but it hasn't really substantially altered its character. There's pretty decent beer on the hand pumps, with a good choice - eg Bateman's and Cairngorm being two of the five on offer. The food is standard for a pub in the area serving a mainly lunchtime crowd and the service is prompt, polite and friendly.
