picture of Cheshire Cheese Not to be confused with the nearby, much more famous "Ye Olde" Cheshire Cheese, this pub quietly goes about the business of providing local workers in the surrounding legal establishments with sustenance and relaxation. It's a quiet pub, being hidden in the back streets just off the Strand, almost villagey in feel, but without the the territorial attitude that comes with some village pubs. It has several hand pumps with a couple of standard beers and a guest, a decent enough wine list and it also provides pub grub lunches and evening meals. You won't find this place in the guides to great pubs, but if you want decent fayre, with decent service at a decent price (especially for this area), you'll be OK here. Be warned, it can close early and isn't open at the weekends.
