| Went to this pub on the 14.01.12. Paid for a half and was short changed twice in the space of 30 seconds!! Owner not interested and did not take it seriously. This has never happened to me in 25 years of visiting London pubs - shocking contempt for patrons. As users have already mentioned this is an extremely busy and thriving pub - so the owner has no interest in taking seriously some serious issues here. Moral of this story always check your change - especially in this pub!!! Won't be going back here out of principle. E-mailed the owner, Paul, on the 14.01.12 for his comments. Failed to even have the decency to reply. Customer service, staff attitude already warning signs from other posts - so I'll leave it there. Shame as the pub is a nice one with a good selection of beers. Just the wrong crowd running it - have no idea about customer care - even Weatherspoons serve you quicker than in here.

| Visited this pub on a Saturday afternoon, wrong time and wrong pub to walk into. Crowded in the upstairs bar, so we moved to the back bars which were quite nook and crannyish but all the more better for it. What staggered us was the price. A half a pint of cider ( dont know what brand or whether it was hand pressed by golden haired virgins) cost £3.90, yep thats right £3.90. We went back to check the price with the bar staff who both said that that was the price and that they dont make the price, just work there. All with a surly dismissive attitude at that. Wont be visiting here again, its full of people trying just a bit too hard, and there are much better pubs in the near vicinity that actually manage to maintain some of their east end roots, and at a lot cheaper price. mollymoo - 11 May 2011 14:07 |
| Great beer range, particularly the Belgians; excellent beer quality; good service (Monday afternoon); disgusting toilets. skatalite - 29 Mar 2011 09:46 |
| Had a very pleasant drink (Bruges Zot) and lunch (Waterzui Fish Stew) yesterday during lazy walk/pub crawl along the canal. Atmosphere, staff and service all very acceptable on my visit. pipsby - 15 Nov 2010 14:10 |
| Diabolical service, just utterly dismissive. They know they don't need your custom as there are enough hipster groups thronging through to keep them in the cash for years to come. On a Tuesday evening, we take a table, order some food. It's a bit draughty, we notice, so we tell the staff 'sorry, we're just going to move table'. It's not busy - there must be 15 people in the pub. 'But your food will arrive at that table.' 'Yeah, sorry, could you just have them bring it here.' The duty manager arrives: 'Ok, your food will come to your new table, but if you move table again, the food will still come to this table - we're not changing it again.' This attitude was just totally unnecessary (seriously - there was 0% chance of us moving again - it was just to be snide). When I said 'is it against your rules to move table?' the guy just lost it and swore - using the f word very loudly - as he left. Classy. jesusjohn - 27 Sep 2010 10:58 |
