One of the better establishments on King St. Always worth a look in if you're in the area. Good vibrations, decent staff and well maintained toilets.Nicely tiled exterior and a warm and modern feel inside. Wecoming bar staff and a very good pint of Pride. Snow and ice meant I could not linger as the tube was badly disrupted and I had a train to catch, but I would certainly call again when in this part of London.I agree with most recent posters, this place has really come on. Unlike those below though I did not have the pleasure of Emma visiting me at our table the other night! Though we all kept a very close eye on her all night - does anyone know if she is attached??? She is utterly smutterly gorgeous!!! Amazing bottom Emma!

The most recent reviews are interesting. I'm normally one that goes for the jugular when it comes to bad customer service, but my two experiences in here have been very good. In fact, the last time (May 2010) was exemplary:

It was the day of the CL final and I asked the landlord if he knew where we could watch the game. He named a pub (it escapes me now) and gave us directions. 5 minutes later he comes over to our table and asks if we want him to book us a table in the next place. We say that would be great, and half an hour on our waty out, the same guy walks us out the out and to the underpass.

Once we get to the spot (nr Ravenscourt tube) we find that we have the best table in the place - right in front of the telly; table set.

Perhaps the rest of the staff in there are obnoxious, but the main man is capable of being a gem.As someone else said, this is a charming pub in terms of location and interior, but the service is shocking. Disgraceful.
I went in with three friends at about 2pm on Wednesday. There were a handful of customers finishing their meals, and one member of staff, tidying tables and sorting cutlery. We stood at the bar and tried to get his attention. He saw us. He ignored us. One of my friends went and gestured that we were waiting to be served, and was greeted with a face of thunder and a terse 'five minutes'.
This man was NOT busy serving other customers, he was wiping down empty tables. We were not prepared to reward such rudeness by standing, ignored, at the bar for five minutes in order to spend our hard-earned money.
We left, and will not be returning.A fantastic site but a horrible experience. I will not return to this pub until they change their management. The manager has serious issues with customer service and turns what could be one of the best pubs in London into a very unpleasant experience. Such a shame... As one other reviewer writes: They really don't care about their customers

My only gripe about this otherwise decent establishment, would be one or two of the inebriated "friendly" locals. Especially mr "hey man, hey dude" fellow who insists on sidling up to you and alternating between being insulting and ingratiating. His friend insists he's had a hard life, which is fair enough but this is not a branch of the samaritans.

Lively pub, good staff.My parner and I spent new years eve in this pub and what a night we had! Rory and his team were perfect hosts and the free food/buffet was delicious. The free glass of bubbley at midnight was much appreciated. We were made to feel welcome and we could see Rory going round the pub making sure that everyone was having fun. We live in Barnes but I think that The Ram is going to be our 'local' in future. Well done all of you.Was there on Saturday. Excellent staff, helpful and polite. Good vibe, nice clientèle. Food looked god but we did not eat. Recommend highly.

Great food, great atmosphere, cosy fireplace.
Spend the whole of boxing day here with the family, best Xmas we ever had.
Tried everything on the menu, loved it all!!!!
FRIENDLY STAFF.Exactly what a pub should be - Open fire, Lovely dinning area and a great menu which looks to offer new line-up every day ! - The steak was wonderful. We enjoyed a quick, friendly service and enjoyed the plesent atmosphere, in fact we relaxed in this warm location for much longer than we'd planned .... The chef even catered for my daughter gluten free diet - how good is that ?

See if you can find the secret door, which is easier if you have a love of books.

Obviously, it seems a large improvement from the reviews in previous years...

Lovely pub. Welcoming ambience, nice feel, good food. And an open fire place. Working. Could think of a lot worse places to spend a Sunday afternoon. Recommended.

I think binnsy is wrong, the price list is displayed at the bar.
I drink Carlsberg it's £3.30 a pint, my missus loves frulli and I know its 4 quid. Hop poles used to be a bit shady - actually it was a bit of a shit hole, but its not half bad now. Its been done up and I actually feel safe going in there on a friday night after work in my suit. Missus loves drinking up on the beer garden in the summer.Past three visits in a row I've been served pints that are about three cm off the pint measure. Today I finally asked for my pint to be topped up, and was told 'that's how they're served'. Could have done without the attitude. Won't be back.I drank in this pub for the first time in weeks, only to find that they have put up the prices to a stupid level. A pint of Carlsberg was 3.95 !, and before Christmas it was 3.25. Strawberry flavoured lager is now 4.25 !. I know vat has gone up, but this is a discrace, shame on you Hop Poles, you won't be getting my custom any more.

This place is a real dump, the beers are awful and this place needs to be turned back into the George and soon as possible !!THIS PLACE NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN ASAP AND MAYBE HAVE A DRUGS RAID AT THE SAME TIME. I've seen under-age drinking that the bar staff are aware of and don't give 2 shits about. people lining up cocaine in the toilets. It stinks like someone has taken a shit in the corner of the bare. I've seen people in there eating the food. WTF. I wouldn't eat the food here. Prob been sitting there for months. THIS PLACE NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWNBulushi's are generally lacking in anything other than 18-23 debachery nights out, and im way past that, but the one time I have been in here, it wasn't what id call totally dire...
There isn't nearly enough seating to go around, and the bar staff do look abit miserable, but there was an open mike night on on my visit with an enthusiatic and decent crowd, and the girls in here were nice eye candy if im honest...
Food was decent enough. Wouldnt go out of my way to return, but it did the trick...
