The food here is pretty bloody good, plenty of screens but the curse of sofas means there's often nowhere to sit despite the fact there's only six people in the pub.

a vastly improved pub the old parkway bar was a dive, you now have youngs bitter at £2.40 a pint in much better condition than the spreadeagle, wonderful afordable thai food lunch ,starter and main course for just 5 pounds. i saw the local camra guy in there, thats a good sign.

The last and only time I was here the place was playing loud banging music and the bar area was full of teenage girls giving each other faux lesbian lap dances for the benefit of their spotty boyfriends. Which is probably all well and good if you like that kind of stuff with your overpriced pint.

The last time i went in here it was really bad. There was loud pumping trance and a few chavs hanging around. Needless to say i didn't stay long. Can't remember what the beer was like but i don't think it really matters with an atmosphere like this.

all I can say about this shame of a bar is it gave me beer poisoning, if that is at all posible.
2 pints of beer and I was spewing like a new born baby, for the next 24 hours.
It takes a few more beers than that anywhere else

New manager turned out to be all right, alas he's been given the boot too. think the company behind it are a bit shifty, some of the staff are alright and they sell magners cider in a bottle quite cheap, alas like others I feel the place is a bit souless.

Soulless place with a soulless name, but incredibly it's not the worst pub on the street (the Rat and Parrot gets that award).
The name change from the Windsor Castle 3 or 4 years ago is incredibly ugly. There's proper stories and history that revolve around the four Castles in the area (Dublin/Edinboro/Pembroke being the others) and this sort of pointless name change says so much about how pubs are being ruined for little effect in business.

normally opens until 1pm on a friday, but this friday the landlord decided it would close at 12! this pub needs to sort out whats going on with closing time and have the beer on tap able to drink and not out of use, like it normally does

not bad but used to be a lot better when the taffy was running it .But all in all not a bad bozer, new manager needs to get a personality though.

Soulless. Was much better when it used to be the Windsor Castle - an honest-to-god Old Drunk Irishman Pub bang in the middle of Camden. Ah, we used to live in a more innocent age.

Watched the fa cup semi's in here and i have to say that it was great, the staff let u do what ever u like, sing songs supporting your team, dance around, spit at the screen... And they let u get as hammered as u like.....

This pub lacks any character and was much better before they put the identikit wooden flooring and poncy lagers in.
