| OMG!!! Have just checked back on this review. Can I just say I am totally loving how much I've wound up these old grumps by just telling the truth - maybe it means they won't come back and litter the place with their negative vibes...yaaaay, WOOOO HOOO!! TRUST ME I don't work for anything to do with The Stanley, mine was an honest review. I'm just a satisfied customer telling the truth. Besides, it's not like they need any help from me - the place is always busy, bustling with happy, friendly customers. I still go there loads and LOVE LOVE LOVE it every time. Can't wait for that adorable little garden to open up. I have also branched out with my wine choices: the Picpoul de Pinet I mentioned before is so so good and perfect for a special treat but there is also a white called Il Banchetto which is really reasonably priced and lovely. (by the way doesn't everyone love how that guy below got on his high horse about my choice of phrase and then wrote "explanation" instead of "exclamation" mark - HA HA - KARMA!!!!!!)

| Ha ha - jimmywicks, nice one mate - totally agree with you. Why be spiteful or sarcastic? It's just not helpful. The place can't be that bad if these reviewers keep returning. If you ask me that Green_Onions seems pretty obsessed with the Stanley - kind of creepy/weird isn't it - perhaps it would be better for all involved if he did stay at home with his £5 steak - ha ha!! My thoughts - Ace pub - I started drinking there a few months after my old local went seriously downhill. I mainly drink there after work sometimes have the pasta or a steak and in my opinion £17 for quality, decent sized rib eye with homemade chips and bearnaise isn't half bad. Recently have also been down on a Sunday with the Mrs. It's a great place to chill and read the papers. Pretty much every table was full but it was nice not to be turfed off our table after we ate to make way for more diners - which seems to be policy at loads of pubs nowadays. Would really recommend this place to anyone - chilled, nice staff, good attitude to the whole thing and good value for money too. Top marks from me. eddietheeagle - 21 Mar 2011 11:08 |
| Glum gastro-pub in a nice side street off Camden Road. Decent size single room with a large U-shaped bar dominating the centre. Beer at one end and a chef's hob and oven at the other. This illustrates the problem with this place; it falls between two stools. It doesn't want to be a pub and is too grotty to be a restaurant. Who would want to spend £18(!) on a rib-eye steak that you could pick up in the butchers for a fiver, while sat down surrounded by people stood up and sinking half a dozen after work? No-one was drinking the Adnams so we chose Guinness, which was mediocre. I was temted to ask for a pint of gravy, which I hear is AWESOME!!! Just to clarify my last posting...jimmywikks can turn down the humourless indignation. My comments were sardonic and a little cynical, certainly not spiteful. Read the previous posting I refer to. Look at all that hyperbole, all the explanation marks, then relax and have a laugh! Any regular user of this site will come accross such blatant self promotion quite regularly, and making fun of them is one of the best parts of being a reviewer! Green_0nions - 5 Feb 2011 16:37 |
| @Dementer. "Picpoul" (mentioned in @PrincessVF's review) is primarily a French grape variety. It is available in both white and red although as far as I'm aware only the white variety is available at The Lord Stanley in Camden. The "nice cold beers and good wine list" (mentioned in my review) range from Kronenberg to Corona. They also serve draft Guinness and a couple of bitters . If i'm drinking wine I usually go red - the Picotine at The Stanley is great and really good value. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any more questions - would be great to have your input on the drinks available too. jimmywiks - 25 Jan 2011 17:56 |
| jimmywiks quite right use this site for what it`s meant for Beer it`s not foodintheevening is it? Where was there anything about the drink available in this pub I don`t come on this site to find out what the bloody gravy tastes like. I have not rated or scored this pub as yet Dementer - 25 Jan 2011 17:40 |
