| Very disapointed, if you only want to have a drink in what is meant to be a pub!! you are forced to take one of the very limited stools around the edge of the room, they definately welcome dinners more here!! nicnocs1 - 28 Dec 2011 19:47 |
| Shame, I was a regular here between 1998 & 2001. What a great little place it was, a good crowd of regular drinkers, top quality bar staff who were always looking to provide a great service,and the passing tourist trade seemed to enjoy it also. Still looking for a venue in this area to replace it. referee - 23 Jun 2011 13:14 |
| I went to this pub looking for a drink in the afternoon - sorry I'm not a real ale drinker but £15 for 2 small glasses of wine is ridiculous. I’m sure the food must be wonderful for the prices they charge but let’s face it, this is no classy restaurant. You sit on fold up chairs reminiscent of the local community centre, at tables situated in full view and a couple of yards from the toilet door and with all the ambience of an elderly aunt’s front room. I can’t comment on the food itself but if you just want a drink go to the Audley instead smejo - 18 May 2011 23:02 |
| They had Young’s Bitter and Old Speckled Hen on handpump. There was a third pump bearing a Bombardier clip, but this one had a toilet roll draped over the top of the pump. I’m not sure whether this was a subtle comment as to the quality of the ale, or a novel way of indicating that the ale was off. Anyway, I had the OSH which was OK (i.e. it tasted like OSH usually tastes). I only had time for a quick half, which was just as well as at £1.80 (£3.60 a pint presumably) it was an over the top price. I remember when this was a real pub, but sadly it’s not really one now. Frankly I hardly recognised it as the same pub. The main part of the room consists of tables set for diners, with some stools at the bar and at ledges round the sides for the use of drinkers. According to the menu it’s a Meredith Group pub, which I have to admit is a new one on me. There is no decoration on the walls other than a chalkboard in the dining area advertising the day’s specials. There are hundreds of these minimalist overly made-over pubs in London now. I can’t see me returning – unless I’m again meeting friends in the area and arrive too early for the Coach & Horses to be open. RexRattus - 24 Nov 2009 15:24 |
| What a tired shoddy establishment, all the more surprising that it is in Mayfair Hobgoblin666 - 17 Nov 2009 12:46 |
