Our 1st Anniversary!!

Please join us from 2pm onwards Sunday 15th June!!

We can’t believe it is already been a year since we took over the gorgeous Nell of Old Drury pub in Covent Garden.

It’s fair to say it’s been quite the rollercoaster ride but overall, it’s been great and that’s thanks in no small part to our fantastic team of staff, lovely friends and fabulous customers. Thank you all so much for making this place such a joy to run. Here’s to many more years ahead.

Please do pop in on Sunday 15th and join us for a drink or two to help us celebrate this wonderful milestone.
