After a short time away I decided to pay a visit to this pub on thursday.The beer is pretty good plenty real ales but for a Wetherspoon pub the mens toilet was disgusting.After sloshing through running water on the floor,using overflowing urinals it was not a pleasant sight.There were a lot less customers than before although talking to some they put it all down to the no show manager. I find that hard to believe.I will try again another day
|
booo the tokens have finished
|
The waiting time at the bar to get served is getting longer.The food portions for meals are getting smaller.The manageress is never around and neither will i be in future.I am off to the nearest Harvester for good food, good service and a visible managment.

exelent beer fest again this year .anyone got comment on the plum beer.the staff are nice and helpful in this pub even under pressure.Ive noticed more people are comming to the moon under water for this reason . even from other weatherspoons
|
The pub seems to be getting busier but still cheaper than the local rivals .A very busy mothering sunday.I dought if you could have fitted more diners into the pub.Not so busy during the day on paddys day but plenty of goodies on offer.Thanks Tracey and the staff for making my visits pleasurable. I have also been on Wetherspoons main site voicing my appreciation.

dear monkey. How can you blame any person personaly for your suggested demise of the pub.Have you asked the manager about witherspoons policy on running the pub. This tuesday 12th feb you can ask all the questions you want at 6.30pm at the meeting.Are you brave enough?Please do not be personal on this site.

Its a shame there is such great staff there because the "manageress" (I use that term lightly) is ruining it for them. I've stopped going in there for a drink since I heard they've lost yet another good member to another pub (what happened to David? Nicola? Caroline?) Is this company going to keep putting horrible managers in there? I've lost a decent local. Guess I'll have to try Cricklewood now!!

Thursday night just before Christmas and the Duty Manager looks bored, he also has dirty hair and his shirt is hanging out like a small schoolboy's, but then he is the only staff on at 9.30pm, but thats ok because the pub is 2/3 empty. The only noise a group of drunk teenagers,one of whom has a new job, as we now all know.The Manager? well she hasnt been seen since she met Tim Martin.

A very nice refit but it seems to have stopped at the bar, Look behind and tou will see by the ice machine the most disgusting piece of lack of flooring I have ever seen in any pub. It must be an H&S matter.Thanks to the staff for trying to give good service despite the lack of good managsment. Ilike my John Smiths but It was unobtainable on Saterday at 12am because they had run out of gas. Surely a canister could have been borrowed from one of the many Wetherspoon pubs in the area. Inoticed three people walk out including me makes four.Please can we make the pub as it used to be.

comming up for more abbot reserve supurb

why cant this pub run perfectly? i havent been in for 3 months, i had enough of bad service. it goes from good to bad, good to bad. the last lady incharge of this moons had something really good going on here, then she let it slip, the new management well? the sour faced larger lady is still there, what a pleasure she is! I can honestly say that this time i will not be back, and a letter to your office has been sent, we will be getting the bus to Kingsbury where the service is 100 times better.

I used the pub on the seventeenth birthday an afternoon visit good beer and dirt cheap pity they only started putting out the advert flyers late in the afternoon. The pub was almost empty.I hope it livens up later on.

great beer fest but 44 is the best

I've just started going back in after swearing never to darken the door again! I think the new manager is great, at least she's interested in what the customer wants, and the real ale is much better, I enjoy a good pint of ale and let's face it theres not many pubs about that you can get a decent pint in these days. My wife and I enjoy the steak night, great value, and recently much better quality. Hats off to the new manager, brave lady but seems to be doing the business. Keep up the good work and you'll be seeing me and my wife more often. Good Luck to you.

Good charity night at the moons last night. Nice to see the community pulling together. The karaoke was very good indeed. nice locals pub.
anonymous - 21 Dec 2006 21:36 |
An atrocious pub. Was in here a few months ago on a Friday evening and the place was full of hood rats and chavs all tracksuited up.
JimBob - you think this is a good local? poor you!
|
We've got a couple of Wetherspoons in York. I like them. But really all I want to know is has anyone ever seen David Mitchell in 'The Moon Under Water'? Strange question, I know, but hey!
anonymous - 21 Oct 2006 21:52 |
New to the area, and thankfully found a pub that wasn't scary-looking or a dive. Only been in there Thursdays, and Wednesdays for the quiz, nice array of beers and decent busy atmosphere. Quiet non-smoking area at the back is dimly lit for a relaxing meal (curry club!), quiz has ranged from near possible for us 20-somethings, to pretty competitive, all for a pound.
cheers, found my local :-)
|
One of the better Wetherspoons i've visited.
|
well done claire you have turned the pub into one of the best in north west london the staff are happier and eager to please sunday night music a bonus keep up the good work ps shevanne doing good job while your on holiday
|
i had a great weekend thanks guys&girls 5 star treatment xxxx
anonymous - 26 Jun 2006 11:50 |
This pub has much improved recently since the introduction of live music on a sunday night. I know this is not a typical Wetherspoon thing to do but it appears to be working very well here. The atmosphere has improved both amongst the customers and staff and appears to have deterred some customers that otherwise used to put me off going. Well done to the team there.

hi i like this place good clean fun
anonymous - 20 Jun 2006 08:58 |
Hi, some strange postings here....I visited this pub recently and was really pleased with the quality and price of the food.... simply fab. The staff are friendly, the pub clean and tidy and a really nice atmosphere. I real gem of a pub with genuine warmth and charm.It has probably one of the best product ranges I have seen with several good trad ales, decent wines and great bottled beers from around the globe, not to mention a genuinely good range of spirits with some you really wouldn't expect to see....well done I will be back!
|
Thank you for your comments Tony and Mick.
Tony you say about me being un helpfull, to you maybe! so if your attitude changes to myself and obviously my staff (who really dont like serving you by the way!) then possibly i will be more helpfull to yourself in the future. Kind Regards Claire.. x

the food is bad service crap manageress is unhelpful
|
cheap beer food used to be good but not so good lately under new management staff could be more helpful
|
Excellent live band on Sunday night! Apparent new management, well done best night out in colindle in 10 years.

Absolute dump. Full of underage drinkers and coke heads every weekend.They sell the worst slops in town and frequently post notices telling a pack of lies about being cheaper than other pubs in the area. Ifyou want good beer at fair prices try the Glen or for food try Rowans across the road. At least those pubs know what they`re doing when it comes to looking after customers.
|
I don't understand why this pub has such a high rating compared to some other wetherspoons I visit regularly that are FAR FAR better. This place is an absolute dump! Service slow and rude.. overall the pub is an a very bad state of repair.. mould growing on the glass skylight on the roof.. floors, bar, tables, chairs all very dirty and covered in fag burns. Toilets were absolutely rancid and of course in the only stall the door is hanging off it's hinges with no lock.. Wasn't brave enough to sample the food here..
|
Dan, For ale nearby try the Chandos in Colindale Avenue. Its about a 5 minute walk from here on the way to the Tube Station. Or The Red Lion, 5 minutes in the other direction. Although I see its been almost a year since your post so you've probably found somewhere by now or died of thirst.
|
it's a wetherspoons, but it is absolutely the only place anywhere in these parts to get ale . if there is any where else in colindale, west hendon, burnt oak-type area, do tell .
