Funny you should mention that, NI. A different sesh in the smoke took in the Rising Sun in EC1, an acclaimed Sam Smiths pub, but bitter (a SS one, I forget which) was chilled and tasted like something was wrong with it. V. disappointing, and central London prices inevitably provoke gasps and exclamations of disbelief. Timothy Spall was in the bar (as himself). Don’t know what he made of it.
Oh well, staying at home with some decent Rioja reminds me of what I’m not missing!
