1991/YE OLDE RED COW: 72 Long Lane EC1. Grand Met-Watneys. Even if not eating, the delightful upstairs restaurant should be viewed if possible, it has an old sign giving licensing restrictions. The cellars and ground floor are reputed to go back to the 1400s. Unexplained happenings give rise to the thought the pub is haunted./../../Pub Listing
