The Alexandra, Bedford Place




I really liked this place. Great atmosphere, with movie memorabilia everywhere, family friendly, and cheap food. Only drawback is the unexciting range of beers. However, they do have three casks, and one of those is Landlord, so it's not a complete beer disaster. Pub meals for around £6. Children's meals. Stage in the front corner for live bands. Great music even when there isn't band.  Wacky old Eighties computer games in the back room. Hundreds of Star Wars figures, especially behind the bar (count them all!). Beer garden at the back, which is a back yard for smokers than a proper garden - but it's there. Bags of character. Pub sprawls around a central horseshoe bar. Odd shaped wooden tables. Very relaxed. Good vibe.

Reopened under new management. New, rather limited menu (burgers, burgers, or burgers), one cask beer (Trooper, which was more vinegar than beer), and the computer games have been removed. Place still has a run down charm, though has lost a bit of character. There is a plant burger, though, so I was content. Big fat chips. Rather a large lunch for us elderly Lads Who Lunch.
