I've lost count of the times when I've thought that pubs should be a bit more continental. Sometimes I want a beer and a sandwich, Q wants a coffee and a pud and we are faced with the devastating dilemma of pub or coffee shop.
Somebody always ends up unhappy and grumbly.
A range of real ales, ice-cold lagers and ciders, huge wooden tables, newpapers, a mini bookshop and a modern British menu which changes at lunch and at dinner. Kids are welcome and there is a back room available for functions. Portions were monster sized, service friendly and unintrusive, coffee perfect. The Dartmouth is the perfect London continental pub.
