Sheaf

Underneath the historic Hop Exchange, this Red Car pub is extremely popular with the after-work crowd on weekday evenings, and with good reason. A modern old-school feel sees the 10 handpumps rub shoulders with contemporary drinks dispensers, while the retro benches, stools and tables are complemented by modern partitioning and flat-screen TVs. Up to seven guest beers feature, including Mauldons and others from Nethergate. A must visit on Saturdays to escape the bustle of nearby Borough Market.
