The Old Bell Tavern
A Nicholson's pub on Fleet Street built round pints and pies, and its own domain is dead so the operator's page is where it lives.1
Why go
Nicholson's runs it, and the operator's pitch is its cask list and its pies, with an ale and gin trail and a loyalty scheme layered over the top.1 That is the whole of what is published about this door. The building has a longer story than that, and it is not written here because no source this project accepts was read for it this pass.
Order this / avoid
- Order: a pie and a cask ale, which is what the operator builds the menu around.
- Avoid: oldbelltavern.co.uk, which does not resolve.
Good to know
- Where: 95 Fleet Street EC4Y 1DH, a short walk from City Thameslink.
- Hours: not published on the page read this pass.
- Operator: Nicholson's.
Verdict
listed — A Nicholson's house on Fleet Street, trading on pints and pies off the chain's British pub classic menu with an ale trail attached. Its own domain is dead and the operator's page is where it lives now, which is the only reason the Fleet Street door needed checking. It sits on the bottom rung because nothing beyond chain copy was reachable: the building's listing and its history are real enough to be worth a proper pass and neither is written here, because neither was read from a source this project accepts.
