| Yes, this is a Weatherspoons and yes, it's local reputation is that it's full of pensioners, benefit claimants and anyone who's been barred from every other pub in the area but they've always had a good selection of beers on when I've been there and it's prices can't be beat, so you get what you pay for. Never had the food so can't comment. blondini - 7 Apr 2008 07:15 |
| This is simply the best real ale pub in London. Period. The pub itself may have seen better days, but the locals are friendly and food edible. However, forget such frippery. With ten real ales on offer every single day its one pub you won't regret adding to your rounds! poitghy - 21 Mar 2008 16:13 |
| Hit its nadir a week or so ago when I walked in to be informed by the singularly charmless barmaid that there was NO real ale on at all! In a Wetherspoons! E17Bee - 30 Nov 2007 20:41 |
| Had a drink in here over the weekend. I though i'd walked into a doss house. Vagrant types plentiful, downing cheap booze. Stunk to high heaven where I was sitting. People complaining about their food. beer was ok though but it was like buying a drink in Tesco's and drinking it in a park full of down and outs! Yuk! offthewagon07 - 19 Nov 2007 19:09 |
| This is a follow-up report to my one of 20 September last year. The pub's still the same with the usual collection of old reprobates. Also there is still the very limited menu. As it was the Autumn Beer Festival, an excellent selection of beers was available. However, I made the mistake of having the fish pie and it came up quite burnt at one end. The people behind ordered 4 meals one of which was steak and this came up frozen. They complained, the barman said he would have another one brought out but they refused as they considered it would just be reheated. Knowing JDW's of old I would have to agree with them. Even with a limited menu they still can not get it right. In future I will pop into Greggs which is virtually next door as at least you know what to expect from this chain! wyndham - 8 Nov 2007 22:14 |
