The Cardinal

About Us

The Cardinal gets its name from the Roman Catholic Church of Britain which is located nearby. Portraits of cardinals hanging from the walls continue the theme. The panelled walls, mahogany bar and beautiful fireplace give this pub an elegant atmosphere. There is a restaurant upstairs which can cater for private parties of up to 150 guests upon request.

  Good local pub that serves pints at £2.10. Nice place to talk and catch up with your friends.

  The Cardinal is a Sam Smiths pub so the beer's cheap and reliable, as is the service, decor and clientele. It's got a very traditional feel to it with a separate dining area, lots of wood panelling proper pub food and a set of locals hanging out all day, nursing there £2 pints.That's the big upside of a Sam Smiths. I've no idea how they've done it, but the amount they charge for a pint here is stunning. It's generally quiet and, depsite being right next to some large offices, is less liable to be overrun by after-work drinkers.

  This pub ticks all the boxes as a tip-top local pub: quiet, always a seat, no music, great beer, a sense of community and fun characters to watch. I even spotted a chap drinking from his usual pewter mug (presumably in his usual seat too).This is a Samuel Smith pub (nothing to do with John Smiths, despite the rumours) so everything is furnished with their traditional brand and quality. The Oatmeal Stout is well worth trying...close your eyes and it feels like slipping back into a bygone era.Pub food looks pretty basic but traditional. Will report back on that one.If its an old fashioned local you are after then this hits the spot. This is an endangered species.
