| Looking for a quick pint and bite to eat, popped in here earlier this week. Quick and friendly service and food was fine. Usual JDW format and good prices. wobblybob - 12 Apr 2008 22:15 |
| Recently seemed to have improved service standards and guest beer range. Not in the top league of 'Spoons but adequate for our weekly visit. As with others in this chain doesn't seem enough staff when busy. Leicesterbeer - 11 Feb 2008 17:18 |
| Called in for breakfast prior to going to beer fetivals at the Vaults, Criterion and Ale Wagon. Ordered 2 breakfasts and had 2 halves of beer. Checked receipt and found the wrong table number had been entered so back to the bar to have it corrected. Long wait for breakfast, lad was looking for the wrong table number! When the plates came, one had no hash browns and the other no mushrooms. Had a laugh with the folks on the next table as they were having similar problems. He took the meals away, and returned with one plate, the one without the mushrooms. Told him again there were no mushrooms, and it went away again. We were finally served with 2 breakfasts that by now were nearlly cold. Not one I would aim for again. gillhalfpint - 17 Dec 2007 23:15 |
| Rocked up in need of a point whilst waiting for my travel connection up north. Stroll in, notice that one half of the bar is busy, the other deserted. Go up to the deserted part of the bar to grab my beer and a bit of food. Oh Lord what a mistake. The reason it was deserted was because the trainee barman (let's call him Goon), was Eastern European and had absolutely no idea what he was doing, and appeared to have no-one sahdowing him. Now don't get me wrong, I have no problem with overseas bar staff, sometimes they are better than Brits. But they need to be trained properly and have a basic grasp of pub-english. This fella was woefully short of both. Let's have a look at the facts: 1. Asked for a Mocha for the missus. After going through a range of variations of the word 'coffee', off he went to ask someone what a Mocha is. 2. Goon reappears and I ask for a half of one of the guest ales. Goon disappears to ask the mananger what a half was and where it was on the till. Then he couldn't undo the the lock properly to release the handpull so said that it was off. The temptation to reach over the bar and unlock it for him was immense, but I probably would have been chucked out. So I thought I'd persevere and asked for a half of the next one along, which I noticed was unlocked. The half eventually appeared, with a bigger head on it than Ron Jeremy - explaining concept of the 'top-up' was excruciating. 3. Time to ask for food, not looking forward to this, but I was in too deep and also the queue at the other bar had got bigger. The Pikey Platter (2 for 6.99) being the obvious option for two people. I pointed at the menu and picked out the two I wanted, which he rang through at full price. So cue another trip to find someone to correct it. 4. Rang through by someone else in the end, then I paid. Goon took the money and then wandered off, oblivious to a) my receipt for the food, and b) the Mocha (remember that?). Managed to get someone else over to produce the receipt and go and make the Mocha. Whilst waiting, I looked at the receipt and saw that my half had been rung through as a pint. After having a second half to compensate I eventually got back to my seat 15 minutes after I went to the bar. 5. The food arrived and the chips were undercooked and cold. This place is a shambles, managed by day-releasers from the funny farm. Giving a kid with pidgen English and no obvious bar skills a shift unsupervised and untrained makes the mind boggle. Don't bother with this place, forget the beer range, they don't give a toss about the customer. Pay a premium and go to the Criterion, Vaults or Derby and Rutland. It really is worth it.
