| Yes - the last few reviews tell you the story. One of London's great pubs ruined for no obvious reason. The beer, which has in the past been unfailingly excellent, is now too cold; the refurb does nothing for the comfort or aesthetic pleasure of the punters; and worst of all is the appalling 'music'. An earlier reviewer refers to it as 'background music'; last night it was so loud I couldn't hear myself think. All very sad. earlydrinker - 26 Jun 2008 18:31 |
| I was looking forward to my first visit here in five years or so, but was hugely disappointed in its pub-by-numbers refurb. So many clashing styles (big perching tables - check; random deployment of Regency style chairs - check; yawningly predictable Samuel Johnson quotes scrawled on the walls - check) all competing for attention with what should be its majestic centrepiece, that sexy, curving mirrored bar. Still, there was the consolation of the finest pint of Special I've experienced since the Young's move to Bedford into which to cry my bitter tears. WebelMC - 20 Jun 2008 20:10 |
| Not too sure on the refurb - on one hand it's lost the traditional look, but on the other it is a nice-enough modern interior if judged on its own merits (even if the back of the bar still seemed to smell of wood glue). Reasonable pint of Bombardier, if served a little on the cold side. rpadam - 21 May 2008 20:44 |
| Ruined! Nothing more to say.I would have given this a rating of 8 or 9 previously but no longer worthy of it. Ordinary - 14 May 2008 22:46 |
| What have they done to this pub?Once a traditional pub with a good atmosphere. seems Youngs are trying to appeal to the trendies but as with the Morpeth they have failed. beercritic - 27 Apr 2008 06:49 |
