Truckles is part of the Davy's chain of wine bars, which means a fairly uninteresting and comparatively expensive wine list, flat ale served in pewter tankards, ersatz 18th-century decor and mediocre bar food.

So why has this particular branch made the cut into a book about the city's best bars? Simple: it sits in a handsome Georgian courtyard close to the British Museum (and just behind the London Review Bookshop), and in summer, the outdoor seating is appealing enough to make up for all the bar's other shortcomings.

The area's office workers are wise to the place, and it can get especially busy on warm Fridays. But there's usually a free table or two even on the most bustling evening, making this a good standby for an after-work swifty under the sun.

Poor food. The salad that came with the Pate had a hair in it. Our Duck Confit had no sauce, was dry and came on a bland bed of dauphinoise potatoes.

If you're heading out for drinks and want an average meal beforehand it's fine but I wouldn't recommend for a nice evening meal.

I really enjoyed this bar/restaurant. I have been a regular there now for some time and I have definately noticed a marked improvement over the last few months. I enjoyed the service and the food.

They are now excepting Taste Cards so the value is great there. Definately be going again and again :)

this is by far the worst pub I have ever been to. the food is horrible, the boss is rude and the wine is so pricey. what really put me down the most was how horribly the staff were being treated by their superiors.
