I went here last night for the quiz (starts 8pm ish not 9) and all the bar staff I spoke to were polite, didn't see any of the problems other users have reported. Bit rubbish on the ale front - just John Smiths, no real ales.
Had a good evening, the quizmaster is great, enthusiastic and it's all for charidy which is nice.
Also had some of the Thai food which was really good.
Seems a bit like a pub trying to be a restaurant which i really hate as it tends to kill the atmosphere but that aside i'd happily go back for the quiz night.

davidpc, how right you are! Rude Manager is an understatement........ I think she should go on a customer service course! What a shame that it has come to the fact that my girlfriend and I who used to go in to this pub all the time, will not be returning due to her not knowing how to smile let alone deal with customers.
We will not be returning and also spreading the word.

Hi, This used to be a great pub, then for some reason they have lost the great bar staff and friendly smile. We moved to the area a few months ago and really enjoyed having a chilled out local with great food and extremly friendly staff.
However recently this has all changed, we have been welcomed by a moody, unpleasant so called land lady who would be suited in a dark dirty pub near the Glasgow docks serving people who do not care for customer service or simple manners.
I would avoid the pub until they hire new staff who suit the great surroundings the pub has and hopefully the battle axe behind the bar will realise that she is better suited behind a desk or in the kitchen, not as the face of a great pub.
You will understand the above when you visit.
Good luck.

post refurb, business appears to have picked up, with some new customers appearing on the scene, in addition to the regulars.
No tellies any more, therefore Arab Boy for football.

Does do real ales (not on at time of visit) and the usual range of lagers plus Tiger (Anchor also perhaps? Can but ask). The South East Asian colonial theme is a bit of a hoot but why not? It's comfortable and some of the bar staff are stunning. It is technically a pub despite selling itself more as a restaurant.

I celebrated my 20th birthday here and the food and service was excellent. The atmosphere was lovely also, the waitresses wore authentic thai clothing adding to the ambience of teh restaurant.
I would definetly go there again!
I would reccommend this restuarant to anyone just be prepared to wonder in awe over the options on the menu!!

Food is great. Not a good place for football as the layout is all wrong. Great rear garden.

Lucky me, this is now my local and unlike most other Putney pubs, it's not full of accountants or braying Sloanes.
A few Saffas, a few estate boys, a few regulars, a few students and many diners for the Thai food restraunt to the rear - bar food also available.
Pleasant bar staff, atmosphere and decor makes this an easy venue to enjoy - just don't go there and spoil it for me.

Gone downhill badly. Avoid

This is an odd yet very endearing place. I liked it as soon as I walked in. Great cocktails, mad decor, very London and not in the least pub-like at all except in the fact that it's serves alcohol to the public. I liked it, would definitely go back. Only stopped for a couple of cocktails on a friend's birthday but it intrigued me enough to go back and have another selection from the cocktail menu or try the Thai food. Nice chairs - just like the very arty hand chair in the ladies' in Up n Under in Twickers! When I've tried the food and had cocktail no. 3/4/5, I shall review!

English pub with Thai Restaurant The Gov - is a top Bloke, the place is warm and friendly and very comfrtable - the locals are very funny, and the Fosters is the best on tap in the area.
|
it's under new management now (as of Feb/Mar 2004) and there isn't as much shit inside, has a new garden out the back, new bar menu (as well as the main restaurant). all in all, a great place... especially for the summer!

it's not really a pub. It does cocktails and drinks but is mainly a restaurant. Not really the right atmosphere for a pub crawl/p**s-up but the food is fantastic!

lots of what used to be rainforest carved into big nobs, fairly pricey but ok
