| Only problem I have ever had with this place is the fact that they don't serve meals until 6.30pm on weekdays. This is not much good if you have to be at the Royal Albert Hall for a 7.30pm show. Otherwise good - never had a bad pint in here and the selection of ales is generally most agreeable. amosbriz - 9 May 2009 14:48 |
| Very pleasant local pub despite its in-town location near South Kensington Tube station. Surrey Hills Ranmore ale and Hogsback TEA make a mockery of the distance from leafy Surrey. Open-planned, perhaps a little trendy, but then around here the well-heeled probably pine for a real pub. Nice to sit outside in the streets you could never afford to live in; but such is the meaning of 'public house'. rainlight - 8 Apr 2009 21:24 |
| Excellent choice of ales on – Adnam’s Bitter; Broadside; Pride; Twickenham Sundancer; Hogsback TEA; and Brakspear’s Oxford Gold. I went for the TEA which was excellent, and at £3 a pint not unreasonable for the area. I’m not sure whether they always have this sort of range of ales on, though I suspect from RogerB's posting that they do. There was an advert (which I only saw in the gents!) for a beer festival (from 9 to 22 March I think), but with different ales promised to those that were actually on. But never mind - can’t complain about the ales that were on. This is more like a pub than many others in the area. It’s a single room pub furnished mainly with normal tables and chairs; walls are mainly adorned with paintings and prints. A few magazines lying around for customers to read is also a nice touch. Service was a little offhand, although not unfriendly. All things considered this is a pretty decent pub, and the excellent ale selection certainly warrants a return trip.

| Very nice location, and beautiful tables outside. Interior pleasantly old-style, if somewhat sombre. Good choice of beers. Service was appallingly slow every time I was there (perhaps seven or eight times). They manage to be slow even if you are the only person at the counter! As the landlord also seems to believe in making economies on personnel costs, service is truly appalling when the place is crowded, which is the case every late afternoon, particularly at weekends. A very nice place, unable to deliver on service. ebenezerscrooge - 22 Jan 2009 01:17 |
| I’m not sure I can recognise this pub from some of the comments attributed to it. My recent visit left me suitably impressed with the service (friendly and efficient), beer selection and quality (6 Ales – TEA, Doom Bar, Adnams, Broadside, Pride & Oxford Gold – enough to keep me going for an entire evening), atmosphere (upmarket without being snobbish or sloany) and the overall décor (interior can hardly be described as modern.regardless of when it was last refurbished, in fact a Grandfather Clock wouldn’t look out of place in here). Bare floors, old fashioned wallpaper, paneling, stripped down tables, a no 2 matching bits of furniture approach, assorted and haphazardly arranged pictures and paintings, remants of the old etched windows and doors, wonderful old brewery mirrors (Salt & Co – a new one on me), in fact many of the characteristics that I look for in a pub can be found here. Parts of the interior have been partitioned off with screens to create a feeling of intimacy. To my recollection there were no TVs, music or games machines, just the babble of chatter and locals pouring over the evening papers. I was also expecting to be hit hard in the wallet given the location and was almost gobsmacked that the Oxford Gold Organic Beer was only £2.90, a bargain for South Ken. The large roadside terrace has plenty of umbrella cover and is ideal if the weather is fine. I gather there is a dining room to the rear but the place certainly did not come over as being particularly food orientated. Unfortuantely I do not find myself in the area often, otherwise you would find it hard to drag me out. RogerB - 19 Nov 2008 15:12 |
