| 1. This place is a rip-off. The food was so expensive and not all that. 2. Most of the staff (a couple were nice) had a real stuck up attitude. Everything seemed a chore and there was no sense of them considering us as customers. 3. The "organic cola" I had was tiny and bland. The cider, wine and beer that others in my party was not very good by all accounts. 4. It's not a pub, it's an overpriced bar. All in all, a pretty poor experience. The rude service was the final nail in the coffin and I shall recommend my friends to avoid this pretentious "gastro-pub" like the plague. El_Nacnud - 5 Oct 2008 23:53 |
| The barman wearing the red t-shirt was exceptionally rude, He acted like he had better things to be doing than serving us and on top of that the ale I asked for was obviously running out but he decided to try and draw every last drop out of the barrel! It tasted and looked awful, perhaps he should be given an award for serving the worst pint of ale I've had all year. They are trying so so hard and failing miserably on all levels. Only a complete ponce would be oblivious to the pretentious front of this so called establishment. Pah, you should be ashamed of yourselves! Avoid this place like the plague. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!! sethbreaker - 31 Aug 2008 00:51 |
| Visited this pub for a spot of Sunday lunch the other day. Its a mixed bag, and I'm afraid to say the food wasn't up to much. Organic or not, it was expensive and rather tasteless and poorly presented. I specifically asked for no chutney on my roast pork, but it still arrived flopped on the top. Everything on the plate was basically just mounded on top of a few roast potatoes in a heap. Talking of roast potatoes which were boasting being cooked with duck fat, the really tasted like they had been microwaved, they had that twang to them, not light a fluffy and crispy as you would expect. The pork had no crackling, or had much flavor it was rather bland, slightly overcooked and dry, and was swimming around in a watery juice which was supposed to pass a gravy...I think. On to the beer then, I didn't think it was too bad, quite selection of organic beer on tap and the usual endless choices of bottles. Staff....not so impressed, not very polite, didn't listen to simple menu orders, and not even a thank you when I paid my bill. Two roast porks, and two pints and one starter nearly fifty quid you would expect a thank you, wouldn't you? or are Islington bar keepers so up their own bum? Decor....trendy? not sure...a lot of old wooden tables with chairs that don't match and floor boards and blue paint carelessly applied. Avoid sums this pub up in one word unless your blind with more money than sence. pioneer - 6 Aug 2008 15:14 |
| I've tried to get on with this pub as it's just up the road but it's such hard work. The staff are so cool it hurts them to look at you. I don't need smiles or pleasantries but a basic level of communication would be good. A sneer doen't really count. Oh and the beer was, as I was expecting. on the expensive side, but also cloudy and not up to much. Added to all the other irritants I've given up on it. chick - 28 Jul 2008 15:27 |
| Nice old-fashioned styling inside, pretty spacious and excellent beers. However, organic or not, it was all a bit pricey for me. I wouldn't have minded so much but the man behind the bar seemed terribly surly. Cheer up! Muzthing - 20 Apr 2008 19:27 |
