If atmosphere could be measured in money, this place would be insolvent. Lovely staff, reasonably priced, dreadful 'selection' of wine. Totally dead though, and I felt like everyone was looking at us. Avoid like the plague.

It's a shame people have found this pub either unpleasant or unfriendly. For a Geordie wanting a local pub feeling, I've never been so warmly welcomed to a pub in London. On our first visit, we ended up celebrating one of the staff's birthdays all together, and the generosity of the bubbly landlord knows no bounds - even making a full batch of pancakes on Shrove Tuesday for all the punters. It may be quiet for some, but for others, it can be quite homely.

Not my kind of place at all...oh dear!!

Awful place.

This is a pretty small establishment with a widescreen TV and sky sports. It is quite bright and airy with the kitchen area in plain view at the back of the place.
It was pretty empty, but I was still sized up by all the regulars that came in.
As I left I said a cheery goodbye to the barmaid who served me my pint of lager and got absolutely no response.
I won’t bother returning!

Just Been There,Terrible Attempt As A Gastro Pub,Surely AJoke ,Just A Boozer.

This place seems to rely on its ready-made clientele of hospital staff - and consequently doesn't make as much of an effort as it could do. Was in there last night for the quiz and I think every member of our party (who all arrived at different times) commented on the stroppy attitude of the less than welcoming barmaid. I know she's probably only making the minimum wage but cracking a smile wouldn't hurt

Used to be called the Dog now modernised and turned into gastro pub. Not as friendly as it used to be.
|
I went in last week and they only had Bass on which was almost warm and came served with an inch of frothy head. Not cheap either. Not worth making a special journey for.

This is a fairly new gastro-pub on the site of an excellent former Wetherspoons house called the Dog. Wetherspoons sold the pub to another chain called Ambishus in the late nineties, but more recently it has become part of the Settle Inn chain. Good food is the order of the day and, albeit fairly limited, one or two cask ales are available. The pub is friendly enough, but will never be the same as it was in 1997
