| Visited last night and was very disappointed. Despite two hand pumps there was no real ale and not even any bottled ale. Settled for a pint of Guinness in the end - very poorly dispensed, by a staff member who clearly wanted to be somewhere else. I would avoid this place in the future. steveclapham - 13 Mar 2008 09:02 |
| My new favourite pub in London. The world's friendliest staff, a refurb that retains character and fairy lights on the outside. I'd rather drink some puddles than real ale, so the lack of that worries me not. Cider, innit. getinthebackofthevan - 9 Nov 2007 16:36 |
| Agree with the recent comments here. Very friendly, we were greeted on entry & later on, seeing that we were waiting, the barman actually came out from behind the bar to serve us. I can’t remember which beers were available, we were drinking draft Grolsch which was fine. We also had dinner which was very good – some of the items that had been popular at lunchtime were unavailable which was a shame, but this was explained as we sat down so we didn’t set our hearts on something they didn’t have! Presumably this is because the food is prepared fresh daily so when it’s gone it’s gone, also it was a Friday which I suspect will be their busiest weekday lunchtime. I ordered a chicken pie that was delicious, much, much better than standard pub grub. A really pleasant, relaxed place to spend an evening - drinking, eating or both! bennybobbles - 11 Oct 2007 13:24 |
| This is a place I've walked past hundreds of times and never fancied. It's not going to win any awards for good looks and its location, as part of a corporation flats block, is not great but what lured me in the was the pop art collage panels that have appeared on the exterior. This look continues inside with a the walls covered in some rather tasty posters. Beer is fine and the food looked great...just Brit standards like fish and chips and steak but big portions done well. Diners on next table to me were raving about it. What struck me most was the friendliness of the staff. We were greeted by the landlord who made a real fuss of us despite it being quite busy. Great boozer. I'll be back. jazz_hands - 8 Aug 2007 11:59 |
| Visited 18 May 07. It's not often that you get a greeting on walking into a pub for the first time, but that's exactly what I got. The friendliness of the staff at this bar could not be surpassed. The only real ale was Fuller's London Pride, which was in good condition. The decor is smart, and the ambiance very laid back. If it had not been for a work function, I probably would never have walked into this place. It look like I'll be visiting again and often. Just one plea, more real ale chaps. cackgsy - 22 May 2007 15:12 |
