    THIS IS A REAL PUB. That's how they market themselves, they don't do music, fruit machines or big screens. They DO atmosphere. Well if you like a pub filled of civil servants, researchers, politicians and the like then this is the pub for you. It's not really for me. It is located near a Church and Scotland yard so I didn't feel too comfortable about letting my hair down. Plus who knows who could be in there. The smell of authority in The Speaker is a bit too pungent.

    The Speaker is a neat, cosy little bolthole tucked away in Westminster - a perfect place to be snugly installed with a pint of real ale when the freezing rain's lashing down outside! A favourite of nearby officeworkers (and often, parlimentarians), if you arrive much after 5pm - or at any time on a Friday night - the chances of finding one of the few available seats is fairly minimal. You would never call The Speaker a spacious place. The selection of real ale is always excellent - often featuring beers from the Dark Star brewery, but even when you're not lucky enough to see one of them the lineup's seldom a disappointment. And the landlord knows what he's doing. It's not an Ale Pub by a longshot though, and there's plenty of the usual pub fare to please most punters (as well as, I'm told, quite a decent wine stable - no doubt a small concession to the tastes of the visitors from Westminster). A traditional "woody" pub which avoids the "old man pub" dinginess with brightness & character, and the fact it's always quite busy accurately reflects this.

    Great little pub which is all about the beer and conversation. Well kept ever changing range of beer on the pump. Currently it's the "mild month of may" and we have a couple if very tasty brews available. Food offering is basic - sandwichs, baked potato and the like - but tasty. Punters are an older crowd in the main with a good showing from beer loving civil servants. 8/10 Highly recommended if you are in the area and want good ale in a "proper" pub.

    Nice quiet spot for lunch. Had a yummy jacket potato with coleslaw and cheddar. Also, had a nice conversation with the bartender.

    It's a great little pub but is a victim of its own success and fame.
