This pub now very much up and running, and well-populated by City suits in the early evening. Again just one cask beer available tonight.

A ‘soft launch’ night for this forthcoming pub opening, where the builders still have work to do. Just one real available for the night, but it’s a good ‘un.

The pub is found in City, Central London, EC4V 2BA.

A small, City pub in Garlick Hill that was once one of several in this area called the Three Cranes (more of a dockland reference than an ornithological or heraldic reference). In 1938, the name changed to the Hatchet when a full licence was transferred here from an old pub called the Hatchet nearby on Little Trinity Lane. It was a Charrington’s pub (as evidenced by the surviving green-panelled windows), later becoming a Greene King pub in 1993. 2016 saw a complete refurbishment of the pub and the reversion to the Three Cranes name. There are two small ground floor bars, one with a beaten metal ceiling, and a first floor dining room. Beers are served from taps set into the back wall, with two reserved for cask-conditioned beer. The pub is very handy for Mansion House tube station. Now operated by Harcourt Inns. Closed December 2023 with freehold for sale.

We have visited this pub twice, seen 2 different beers and tried both.
