    Wonderful and wide selection of ales and ciders with friendly and helpful staff. Cosy space to keep warm and relax, next time I'll be back to fill stomach with food too.

    Sunday roast dishes are great (specially the lamb shank) but waiting forever for a table and, then having to go again a quiue at the bar to order your lunch just spoils the whole experience!

    Absolutely top marks! Met a couple local friends here who recommended it for the ale selection and the Sunday Roast. A great veggie take on the Roast, and friendly and knowledgeable barkeeps.

    Busy, bustling fun venue with a reasonably priced food menu (try the burger) and a good selection of beers and spirits served by good staff.

    Cozy little pub, very nice on a cold day. Gets very busy on a Sunday with everyone scouting for a roast. I got the goats cheese veg option, it wasn't great.

    Their beer selection, chalked up on a massive board above the bar, is impressive. Camden Town Brewery and Meantime are there to name a few http://barchick.com/bar-chat/londons-best-bars-for-beers/

    What a wonderful place to be in! Huge selection of beers from local breweries as well as international brands. Go and try the Augustiner!

    Craft beers! The staff are generous with their time and super knowledgable. Also, great bar food and Sunday roasts. No music.

    Good place to have a chat - they have loads of different beers, and the inside looks lovely. But it's not a very dynamic/lively place.

    Totally done up. No longer second on Stokey's Fearsome Pubs leaderboard (the first will ALWAYS be The Rochester). Lots of great beers, nice atmosphere, and a kitchen that's open 'til 9.

    A wealth of great ales to choose from (always changing), including mouth-watering Belgian trappist beer. And the burger is the best in Stokey!

    Sunday roasts are great, but I feel considerably let down by the Saturday fayre. Death by oily batter. Calamari and fish n chips way too greasy and the lamb shank needs a steak knife to cut through it

    This pub is AMAZING!!!! The most intersting range of beers and ciders I've ever seen, the food is beautiful and plentiful- the place is full, but not overly busy or noisy. Yeah!

    AMAZING selection of beers (Brooklyn Brewery ale), barstaff know what they're talking about. Not enough seats outside but to be fair its on a high street

    Just reopened this weekend, it's a really great space with 9 ale pumps and Elliot Smith on the stereo! The food looked good too, even had a plate of bratwurst on the menu, what's not to like!

    Wide range of real ale, perry, stout, and Belgium beers. Also do a fair selection of wine, and excellent food. Totally different from the old jolly butchers

    Stokey history fact:on the wall of this pub on Garnham st side you can just make out a mosaic which shows the duchess of Devonshire canvassing the jolly butchers for their votes for Fox from1800s

    Sunday Roast is tasty but if your not a gravy fan ask for it on the side or your food will be swimming in it

    Keep an eye on your mobile devices, particularly on a busy night. Several phones and laptops have disappeared from this busy pub.

    Americans: think us Brits can't do a decent rack of ribs? Try the Butchers' offering. Like surgery on a plate (in a yummy way).
