| I'd heard City Pride was closing down so I hadn't been down for a while- what a fool I was! I love this pub, its a traditional English Pub right in the heart of the docklands. You feel like you've stumbled upon a little oasis as soon as you see it. The staff are great fun and promised me that the pub would be open this year but couldn't promise about next. This might be our last Summer to enjoy the Beer Garden! The Beer Garden is without question the best I have found in London, its huge and there is always a fantastic atmosphere. The pub has a great choice of beer, they have 'real ale' which my northern mates raved about- apparently you can't beat it- they have a really excellent wine list and a nice menu. I'm working through the wine menu but I don't feel it would be fair to recommend one until I've tried them all a few more times! (I'll be sat in the beer garden for most of the summer conducting this research if anyone is looking for me, hope to see you there.) VDuckworth - 8 May 2009 00:48 |
| Was recently in the City Pride on Marathon Day and must admit it was probably one of the best days out in quite some time. We were told to go there since it was a good place to watch our pal dragging his way over 26 miles and we were not dissapointed. They had a couple of live bands on who were excellent, ate our fill of burgers and hots dogs from the BBQ and obviously had a few pints, I'm a convert to old speckled hen! Anyways 7 of us got a table in the beer garden and had a blast and even the staff, who were run off there feet, had time for a bit of banter and a laugh. Managed to cheer on Daniel as he ran by at around 1.30pm then spend the rest of the day in the sunshine. We will definetly be back so congratulations to the City Pride for a great day. (Gave you a 9 out of 10 since I got sunburn) pjpeterson - 5 May 2009 19:11 |
| I have just returned from what can only be described as a truly shocking experience at the City Pride. I was with a group of colleagues whom for most of us was our first visit to this establishment (it will now be our last visit). The pub was not when we arrived busy, we sat down made our choice for lunch and went to the bar to order and pay. After standing at the bar being ignored for 20 minutes we where finally served by a "new" member of staff through no fault of their own had not been shown how to use the till system correctly so the ordering process took some time, that however i am afraid was the best part of our experience there. After another 30 minutes our food started to arrive in dribs and drabs, 2 lunches arrived 2 to go. The second 2 where both incorrect only for the manager to arrive with another 2 plates of food, 1 correct one incorrect. The manager then shouted at one of my colleagues for having an incorrect order in front of her (his bar staff had placed it there). We then explained the fourth lunch was still incorrect. He said he would reorder and it would arrive shortly, there was no apology for the mix up just a totally attitude and rudeness at the fact we was actually asking for what we had ordered. Whilst the 3 of us polished off our lunches the fourth lunch was still no where in sight. Myself and my colleague who was still waiting went to the bar to ask to speak to the manager, when the manager arrived he shrugged he shoulders and muttered that he hadn’t reordered the lunch! He offered my colleague a refund (which she took), all well and good but we had been in there for over an hour and she was now not going to have time to get something. I then said to the manager that this was our first visit and we where totally unhappy with the service, i was not rude i just merely stated that the service wasn’t up to scratch, the response i got was as follows; City Pride Manager” you cant say that, i don’t recognise your face, you don’t come here before" i replied "no i don’t and i wont be coming back either", City Pride Manager "I don’t like you, your mouth stinks" I told him i would not be coming back and walked off and left. There in all of this was no apology for the delay/mix-up/bad service. If this pub is facing closure then i really would not be surprised with staff like that in charge. There are so many good places to eat and drink in the wharf i would advise anyone to avoid it like the plague; normally it’s the customers with the attitude not the management. If its a good traditional pub your looking for, please can i recommend you take a stroll down poplar high street, they is a great traditional pub there, the food, drink is lovely and service is with a smile not an insult! chops30 - 20 Mar 2009 14:38 |
