| We went for a quick drink after playing tennis in Victoria Park last night. Sure it was a warm night and the bar was busy, but the service was dismal. I stood at the bar for 25 minutes before being served by an apparently myopic bar maid, who may well have been distracted by her loud floral print dress or handicapped by her low asymmetric fringe. When finally she noticed me between the moustaches and the tweed caps she served up four pints of flat shandy. When challenged about the flat quality of the shandy she responded 'no it's not'. 'Taste it then', which she declined 'It's not flat'. The impasse was broken by her simply walking away and serving another customer. 'I'm disolussioned with the whole art scene' a pork-pied nathan barley mumbled behind me....'perhaps i should get a job...' Maybe pouring shandy in the Royal Inn. byrne75 - 16 Jul 2008 10:06 |
| I have been working here as a barman for some time, so here is my perspective on this bar. The pro's are many, it's a lovely grade 2 listed building, The location in Victoria Park and 'Vic pk village'is fantastic. The service is fast if a little inconsistent and the real ales are great. The con's however are many, the drains outside are constantly stinking up the front garden, the gents toilets are of a quality you may expect in a prison not in a 'gastro-pub', the menu is pretentious, overpriced and inconsistent. They do an excellent sunday roast (same meat supplier as the ivy, claridges etc) but get there early as they often run out. I could go on. The management appear to change roughly every 9-12 months which explains partly the up and down nature of service and menu. All in all the ambience, jukebox and environs are excellent BUT the high prices, food and over abundance of children/ dogs are a real let down. 9/10 for real ales 5.5/10 for food E3_barman - 16 Sep 2006 15:10 |
| The kitchen has some new chefs, this place has great food, nice choice of beer and easily the best beer garden around. Don't sit out front though, you can smell the drains! ewebber - 16 Aug 2006 18:37 |
| From the comments this is clearly Jo Guest's local! I remember having a great sunday roast here and Litovel Dark in bottles a couple of summers ago and thinking it was great. If I am not mistaken it belongs to the same "Remarkable Restaurants" pub group as the Sutton Arms by Barbican and the Reliance in Shoreditch. Quality. anonymous - 20 Feb 2006 09:15 |
