Boasting Sky Sports and an
'all day breakfast' for just under a fiver, The
Wren is hidden under the Burger King sign at the Broadgate end of Liverpool
Street station. Although a Free House, there is little in the way
of ale
on offer, there are a few draught beers, Worthington, Carling, Guinness
etc. Service from Mariusz behind the bar was swift and pleasant,
even with
a little difficultly in communication I purchased the drink of my
choice.
The Wren is very much in the style of a station pub
and one which has seen
better days. The redeeming feature of The Wren has to be the combination
lock on the door to the gents (not the ladies, just the gents), regulars
are evident by their smooth use of the lock, whilst new comers, like
myself, struggle with two or three attempts. I was somewhat disappointed
that no one tried to sneak to the gents, it's obviously an annoying problem
which they have solved. I may well take a evening to observe the
embarrassment if anyone foolishly attempts to sneak in. |
