The Black Eel

The Black Eel comes from Exale Brewery and has taken over a space that was once an F Cooke pie, eel and mash shop. However, although the front room is clearly and ex pie & mash space, the pub opens back into a series of cavernous rooms and a huge courtyard out the back. As for the food, that's run by a great food residency in the shape of Riley's - their burgers and fried potatoes are fantastic.
