The King Charles I, Kings Cross

Went in for a couple of pints earlier this week (on the strength of the reviews here). Didn't disappoint.

Nice little pub, friendly barman, cosy fire. A few people were in, despite it being a Monday - I got the impression they were locals, but I certainly felt welcome in there.

Had Brodie's English Best, which I'd never heard of before, but which was a very decent pint. Our lass had the mild, which she rated too. Icing on the cake - they do homemade pickled eggs, which were spot on! Extra point for that...

If I had one criticism it would be that it was perhaps a little bit too dark for me - but I'm being picky.

Will definitely be back.
