Old Boots left this review about The Sir John Oldcastle (JD Wetherspoon)

A small ‘spoons opposite Farringdon station, very busy when I made a Friday evening visit with the usual London habit of outside drinking much in evidence, lots of security bobbing about as well. L shaped counter with six pulls at each end, all the beers were doubled up. Nothing of note to comment on, it’s a fairly standard smaller ‘spoons.

Close to Farringdon station,this isn't the largest 'spoons with an L shaped bar and a mix of high tables near the bar,dining style tables elsewhere and loos on the ground floor.It can get busy and therefore noisy especially after work.
Talking to the manager the ale policy here is to offer the Trio of Doom and three guests ales which on my trip were ELB Cowcatcher NBSS 4,Cairngorm IPA NBSS 3.5 and Oakham JHB.Good to see some higher ABV options and their conditioning would be enough to warrant another visit.

A totally identikit JDW that was visited as its in the GBG 2025 (and last three years). Looks like the ground floor of an office block. Not massively exciting beer range but the Exmoor Gold was in decent enough condition. Bouncers - who looked like they had never seen any action on the doors. £4.29 a pint - so pricier than your average.
