| In fairness why not just refuse to pay the service charge, they have no right to enforce it on punters. kevmac - 20 Nov 2011 17:12 |
| really useless staff, service is shocking how can you charge 10% service charge if your service is really shite, food actually tasted ok, presentation was a more like a 4 year old in the kitchen, for £12 a roast i expect better, ! would rather go somewhere else ! eatoutalot1 - 20 Nov 2011 15:53 |
| Avoid at all costs on Sunday lunchtimes. 1hr wait for food after ordering, no updates/reason given and we had to ask, all vegetables pretty much cold once the food arrived, forgotten table water and bread, and they still whack on the 10% service charge. No warning that the wait would be that long either. Too many kids as well, it becomes very loud; I suppose that could be a good/bad thing depending on if your group has kids or not, but like others have said it's pretty much a nursery. Be warned that they squeeze in as many tables as possible on the right as you enter. Nice rioja, but that's about it. JBJL - 17 Oct 2011 17:37 |
| Stunned just how bad this pub was. Stunned that on a Sunday night how loud the music was. Stunned how bad the beer was kept. Stunned how they charged me £4.10 for a pint of Addlestones (which is at the arse end of cider in any case). Stunned why there was actually anyone in the pub. I've never been so stunned (or angry) reviewing a pub before. baggydave - 24 Apr 2011 23:51 |
| I have every sympathy for a pub struggling to cope with huge demand particularly on sunny weekends but my last visit was the last straw. Arrived at midday so it wasn't lunchtime service in full swing, told by disinterested barstaff that there was a 15 minute wait to order food. Why you would have a system that made you wait to order is beyond me. But not being in a rush, accepted and took the bottle with a number on it. Saw a couple a good 10 minutes later sit down and also leave the bar also with a bottle with a number on it. 25 minutes later I was astonished to see this couple get their order taken before us. Waited another 5 minutes with waitresses passing our table with not the slightest interest before calming explaining what I had seen to the manager behind the bar. He proceeded to tell me that this couple had according to his list had been at the bar at the same time as me which was just not true. Clearly their system doesn't work and just massively annoys people. Why not take the order and explain there will be a really long wait? I wouldn't have minded that but its a bit much when people who blatantly came in after you get served first. So I just left and I won't be going back. Terrible. peckhamlass - 29 Mar 2011 14:04 |
