What a quirky pub - I liked it. Early evening, busy inside and out. The gents are a single loo, up a narrow staircase with a crammed office-cum-museum next to it - worth a look!

Late afternoon visit with some friends that had not been here before and came on my recommendation. Thankfully they liked it. I have not listed all the beers that were available.

Late afternoon fairly busy with most folk seated, we stood at the bar until a table became vacant in the right side bar. Many years since my last visit and pleased to see no obvious changes dare I say it.

Late morning visit while the pub was still quiet. I had a chat with Roxy who told me she had been at the helm of the Seven Stars for seventeen years.

Evening visit, my first for yonks. I can see why the pub's cat in ruff, currently Peabody, gets customers talking.

Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter4.00AcceptableSurprised to have to ask for a top up here. This was Harvey's Best at the fruity end of its highly variable taste range

Early evening visit. We were honoured by a brush-past with pub cat Ray Brown, resplendent in his lawyers’ ruff. Look on the wall here for the charming framed poem by Tony Nash in honour of his predecessor Tom Paine.

Website.

The pub is found in Aldwych, Central London, WC2A 2JB.

Located in Carey Street right behind the Royal Courts of Justice this is a smallish pub split into 3 rooms. The main bar isn't very wide with rooms for eating/drinking at either end. It has a good feel to it and is somewhere you can imagine losing an afternoon. Beware the steep flight of stairs up to the toilets. 5 handpumps.

We have visited this pub 17 times, seen 16 different beers and tried 8 of them.
