| Very busy on a Saturday night so the service was slow and no seats available. Usual Greene King suspects available. rpf1955 - 6 Nov 2011 18:26 |
| Typical west end pub. Doesn't have to try to hard for custom. Not a place to stay for any length of time just useful for a drink at the start or end of an evening out. A Greene King pub so the choice of ales is limited. Greene King and Speckled Hen were the two available on my recent visit. Haven't tried the food so can't comment. Not overly impressed by the place. outtamehead - 26 Oct 2011 10:25 |
| Basically a meeting place or last one before the train. It is very typical of a railway station pub; not really clean, loud and full of bevied up punters. Unremarkable in any way. An interesting gang cheered the place up as they were playing pub golf on a night out. willesden_seadog - 3 Jul 2011 15:17 |
| This is a long review, so as a summary; - unprofessional, lazy and rude staff - bad food - ruined my day Would never go back here. As a student I came here for lunch with a friend as a treat, it was reasonably priced and seemed nice on the inside. We sat down and ordered a few drinks. We asked for baileys and hot chocolate and mulled wine, both of which were advertised on the menu and outside, they refused to give us these on the pretence that the manager "couldn't be bothered to make either right now" we then decided on food. For starters we shared olives, bread with balsamic vinegar and prawns. They all were ok, although the sauces which came with the prawns look like they had just come out supermarket. My friend wanted the steak(with chips, onion rings, tomatoes and a fried mushroom) I asked for the bangers and cheesy mash(with onion gravy, in a large Yorkshire pudding and with peas). When ordering I asked if we could replace my friends mushroom with something else, the cheerless, impolite waitress said that we probably couldn't get anything else and it just wouldn't come with the mushroom - this attitude did not impress me, as a waitress myself I know that you at least ask the chef. The "rare" steak came well done, the rest of my friend's meal was cold and mediocre, with no extras and no mushroom. My meal also came cold, the Yorkshire pudding was stale and burnt, the peas were overcooked and the onion gravy had no onions! I have never complained about a meal before, I normally just get on with it, but I could not even eat this meal. I complained, the Manager was very grumpy, but he came, took my meal and asked if I wanted a refund or a new meal, I asked for the refund. He gave me my refund and as he was leaving our table he mentioned loudly that I should have told him when he came round and asked about food(about 30seconds after we'd been given it). I found this extremely unprofessional, rude and quite embarrassing. We stayed for more drinks and as I walked out of the bar with my friend I looked round and saw the manager mouthing "tw*t" at me. I had not been rude or out of order at all during this visit. I went back in and told him what I thought about him to which he looked very bashful. This was a terrible pub and I would not recommend it. They also asked us to pay upfront rather than after the meal, I found this rather strange. Also they did not bring condiments OR cutlery to our table, which they did to other tables. ellicopter - 3 Dec 2010 16:16 |
| Visiting London for the weekend we came into the Brewmaster for a sunday roast but the whole experience was very disappointing. We checked first that they were doing a sunday roast and that there wouldn't be too much of a wait as we had cinema tickets in an hours time opposite, and were told they did roast beef and roast chicken and they there wouldn't be a wait. Well, we waited over half an hour, had to chase it, to which we got quite a surly response, then were delivered the wrong meal, a roast beef yorkshire wrap with chips rather than the proper roast beef dinner. We informed them it was wrong, that we'd been waiting 40 minutes and I had to wait at the bar for a while til the manager would come out. He was very rude, reminded me it wasn't fast food (no kidding at 45 minutes and waiting) and then he disappeared again. Other meals arrived at nearby tables in the meantime and it was 50 minutes in total til our food arrived. I said that as we'd only have time to eat half, that we only expected to pay half for the food. They did give us this refund of half off the food and a free drink, but there was no time to drink this as this wasn't immediately forthcoming (I saw the manager chatting at the bar, rather than delivering the drink first). Now to the food, the mean was very tough, the carrots and cabbage had a very strange taste and the yorkshire was flat and in pieces. We ate the roast potatoes which were fine, and then had to go as the film was starting. It only occured to me later, that they'd probably just unwrapped the beef and yorkshire pudding wrap they brought first time and switched the chips for roast potatoes. Poor food and insulting service. The other staff were polite and apologetic but couldn't really comment on how rude the manager was. I sat through the film hungry and then went to the nearby Wetherspoons and had very good service and quite a tasty meal, wish I'd gone there in the first place! When I'm next in London I will give the Brewmaster a wide berth. ced203 - 23 Nov 2010 17:00 |
