having first reviewed this in early 2009, when it was in early days of its revamp, time for an update.

firstly, staff need to lighten up a bit. we know you're a little busier, but try not to take yourselves too seriously. Those Time out nominations seem to have gone to the head a little.

food is a bit of a mixed-bag. Quality when its arrived has overall been very sound, but it has been subject to some bewildering delays (did we actually forget to order?). I've also been confronted with some pretty abrupt 'no, unless you've reserved a table' comments when asking to eat - I know there's the fancy restaurant bit at the back, and the average age of customer is probably about 12 given the number of toddlers raoming around, but the place is essentially still, well, a pub, and one that claims to 'serve food'.

on the positive though beer has always been excellent, and some great guest ales. Still a good garden space. Still better than the Inn on the Park. Not as good as the Kenton.

a 6 from an 8.

Its right on the park with a big garden. but hold your horses: it is very expensive. Went in with a mate, ordered a bottle of (Koppenburg? is that how you spell it?) cider and a pint of Star. I handed over a tenner and got £1.90 back. Barman should have had a mask and a pistol. After all, over £4 per drink is highway robbery, London prices or not. Nice pub, roomy inside, lots of bright young things having a good time, good location, but you need deep pockets.

Went in February with about fifteen people. While some of the staff were charming, we got possibly one of the rudest barmen/waiters ever. Also the vegetarian roast consisted of a plate of mashed potato, a few green beans and a bit of roast swede. No attempt to replace the meat and not a roast dinner either. Batter puddings were charged as extra. The waiter told the waitress off for putting out too many spoons when they served dessert and we felt oh so welcome. All in all, next time we go out for a fifteen person meal we'll be taking our custom elsewhere.

hello! One of my favorites for weekend lazy hanging - this is called The Britannia, listing needs changing really.....right in the park - result.

Food is expensive but good quality - have eaten here a number of times now.

Beer is well kept, and usually two guests. Beers that is.

....garden is big and now gets busy at weekend, though not as packed as The Royal Inn can get. Nice BBQ menu running all weekend.

Be warned: this is a proper kid friendly pub - if you dont like kids stay well away.....

Eclectic mix of people and music - I've seen a few famous rockers (plus thier kids, natch) chilling in here, thankfully going untroubled by star spotters.

Hey, I dont want it to get any busier - so I'd better shut the noog up yeah? Splendid.
