| Great place to go for a drink - friendly barstaff, nice clientele, not too pricey. Lots of little nooks and crannies to sit in and people watch. Steer clear of the food though - I had bangers and mash and the mash had about a teaspoon of salt in it. Also has a lot of tables and chairs outside in the Square - great for smokers as you are not standing in the road looking like a git. stuartw - 24 Mar 2008 16:37 |
| Really like this pub but I'd find it difficult to tell you why. Found by accident last year at six on a Saturday evening late in October after leaving the Seckforde Arms - which I was supposed to have liked more than I did. The Seckforde that night unfortunately was as dead as they come and I felt (unusually) a bit out of place. After leaving early and with time to kill I popped in here and the difference couldn't have been greater. Struggled to find a seat with loads of people in the 'back room' playing board games, plenty of life. Felt right. Felt comfortable. Brought my wife in the following night, something I don't normally do (visit a pub twice in the same London trip - not take the wife out!) and although it was after ten on a Sunday night was still lively. Returned again this month and the place is definetly growing on me. Nice one. Boothers - 15 Feb 2008 11:41 |
| This is the worst place to get your lunch from. Ok, the food is good but the service is appalling. Very very slow, often the wrong order. I have never been there and have them get the order right. A houmus sandwich once took 45 minutes to arrive! It's cold! What are they doing in that kitchen. Unless you have a 3 hour lunch break don't order here! It's such a shame as the food is really quite good. Annabanks - 29 Oct 2007 14:27 |
| Great place for apres work drinkums, the clientele are a nice young and attractive bunch and very friendly, the barstaff are very friendly and helpful. I had no problem being served even though they was somewhat of a scrum at the bar, the bar staff seemed very quick and efficent. Good selection of International Beers, some real ale for the hopheads, but quite a limited selection so I dont think they would make this place their own. theregent - 8 Sep 2007 10:21 |
| Tried it on a Friday evening and was very disappointed. The server at my end of the bar was inept - too busy trying to be cool and showy and not actually serving people in turn. I gave up after 20 minutes in which his friends, ladies and those shouting the loudest had been served first. Saw a few people complaining about short measures as well. Food was quite good though. Think it deserves a second chance at a quieter time before I write it off, but for now I agree with the earlier posting: avoid Friday evenings. anonymous - 4 Jun 2007 12:00 |
