When at Uni I lived around the corner of three years and this was a regulat haunt when we wanted to get away from the Union.

I came back last summer and it still serves excellent beer, especially the Young's Special and the food's worth a punt too.

There's also a patio garden out back.

The menu is great, even if you have fussy eaters with you as they do veggie stuff too. The beer is cheap and they are happy to supply free water with your food.

It gets quite busy in here and attracts more blokes than girls. More a drinking hole than pub. Grrrr

if you're looking for cheap drinks, with lots of teens swearing then go here.

Downstairs is a little loud with some really good tunes blasting out. Upstairs, a little quieter with comfortable seats and a ncie place for a tequilla or two after a buisy day in the office.

The spacious and fascinating pub has long bars, massive wine cegs and delightful selection of ales.

Near to both Holborn and Chancery Lane tube stations.

As you expect from a Sam Smith’s pub, the drink is cheap (under £2 for a pint) and the venue is busy, without being ridiculously packed.

Despite its proximity to Holborn tube station, the British Museum and Covent Garden, this good time boozer succeeds best of all by being a hit with the locals.

]]> Wed, 07 May 2008 20:39:59 BST Self service optional. http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/camden/holborn/pubs/the-bountiful-cow-wc1r4ap.html#r27399 This is a gastropub which was started by the owner of the Seven Stars in Carey Street and its raison d'être is steak which they don't do badly at all. The rib eye would be my recommendation. Other dishes on the menu are borrowed from the Seven Stars.

The atmosphere upstairs is great but the downstairs leaves you feeling like they ran out of money and good luck getting table service.

Food is by and large pretty good and not bad value but the serving staff are utterly inept which really puts me off.
