	DOVER CASTLE	LONDON W1N 3FR	Weymouth Mews
	The Dover Castle claims its origins from 1750 and has held a licence since 1777. Its wooden frontage is pretty-much intact and reveals its original function. A pair of doors, etched with "Bottle Room", are now not used, but would have provided access to the bar counter for 'off-sales'. The wood panelled interior has been opened-out but has managed to retain its cosy atmosphere. The small area to the left of the main doors was once partitioned off as a private bar. Mirrors, on the beam above the partition, allowed the carriage drivers and stable-hands to see if their clients were about to leave.	The larger room at the front was a store room but is now a pleasant lounge, with a real fire. A dark panelled dining room towards the rear of the pub offers a little more in the way of privacy. Perhaps this is why the rock-band,The Who, used it when they popped in for a pint between sessions at the recording studios opposite. Today's customers include architects, doctors and BBC employees, who fill this pub at lunchtimes. The Sam Smith's is well kept and inexpensive. The menu is unfussy and reasonably priced.
