I visited this pub a few months ago after a corporate night out at Madame Tussaurds. We turned up quite late but the manager was really helpful and let us have the Bailey's that my friend and I were craving! He was really friendly and the pub, although pretty much closed at that time seemed to have a nice atmosphere.
There's a garden that would be great for a summer's afternoon!

Located on south side of Sussex Gardens street. Outside area towards the street, but quite relaxing. Also lots of indoor space. Went there several times with some friends last week. They had Tanglefoot and a couple of Badger's real bitter, and the Tanglefoot was very good. Staff seemed friendly. The only dissappointing side was their BBQ meals; tiny portions concisting of a small piece of meat with some vegetables served on a paper plate.

Not been to this pub for awhile, The staff were friendly, a nice young Spanish girl served us. A reasonable mix of people and we enjoyed the early part of the evening, had a good natter with some of the locals. Being honest the evening was spoilt when I think the owner turned up, Just ignored everyone including his staff and was only interested in the cash register. It would not have been a problem except he seemed to be worse the ware and caused an atmosphere.

the monkey puzzle has been a great pub for many years. the sunday bbq is the best deal in town. this is a great place to relax and make new friends as we have done whenever we come to london. a truly one of a kind place to go--thanks

Fab pub with excellent management. I've lived in the area for the past five years but only discovered this place after a change in management.
There's a good choice of ales and a decent wine list. The food is very popular too with a weekly BBQ throughout most of the year.
If you want the standard rough treatment and half hearted welcome then this is not the place for you. On the other hand if you're looking for a friendly pub with a relaxed atmosphere and great service you may want to pay this place a visit.

I was in this pub over the weekend to watch the rugby with a friend and had a really fun evening. Great atmosphere, really friendly landlord who made us very welcome. The BBQ was delicious and plentiful and you can sit outside in the beer garden.

This is always a fun and lively pub in the evenings. I am always drawn-in here by the delicious aroma of BBQ which is a super-value meat-fest. They have imported German beer and the management and staff are always super friendly and ultra-efficient. If, like me, you are a smoker, there is a semi-covered area in the beer garden to reek in a sub-tropical botanical atmosphere.

Rubbish Management!
Rubbish Service,
I wonder if these guys have any clue about running a catering business. We left after 1 Hour waiting for food, which we never got, instead we got a dirty dish with totally burned bread with 1 tiny piece of cheap cheese on top. When we asked the staff to explain the situation, the manager came to us extremely rude, without having the decency to ask us what was our complaint about, he told us to leave his pub.
PS:
After we placed the order and we paid for it, the staff told us to go out and hand the order to the chef!!!!!! we did not complain about it, but the chef refused to take our order because he was too busy!!!! (This seems to be such complicated for him to take the order and just put it there waiting for it's turn!!!!). I had to go there FOUR times within 35 minutes and I was rejected the first three times. Afterwards another hour of waiting, which was completely waist of time. And then we were SACKED as customer!!!!! Because we were not happy with their service!!!
I don't know this fucking guy in what planet and which era is living?

If you like big TV then this is a pub for you. It's as cosy as a B&Q superstore, yet serves very good Badger and Tanglefoot. The house wines are OK too. Don't be put off though, good BBQ's and it attracts a decent crowd. Staff OK, if a bit scary.

Good pub - had the BBQ food last night and it was great food and lots of it - really good value. Great Badger brewery beers, and good service made it a really fun evening. Lots of tables outside, and big screens both outside and in, mean everyone's happy.

good pub, friendly staff and half decent food, good foe sitting out in the summer.
|
Nice pub Badger beers, an oasis, just of the Edgware rd.

I was walking past this establishment and thought it might be a good bet for some decent grub! How wrong i was, the service was poor, the food was crap and it has a wierd stench.... like an unbathed Old Lady!
