| Agree with most reviews. Went in today for a pint and rather wished i hadnt. Every table had a reserved sign on it. After paying £3.20 for a pint of Adnams without a single word from the 'barmaid' (the price was pointed to on the till) i jokingly said " i take it the bar stools arent reserved" Cue nonchalant stare so evocative of the disgustingly rude east european staff we have to put up with these days. How indicative of todays standards. They bent over backwards for the diners mind...Christ. nickthefish - 18 Jun 2008 17:49 |
| Called in here recently on a quiet Monday afternoon. Pleasant, light and airy bar area, bistro style serving a decent but pricey pint. Its a good find so close to the bustle of Knightsbridge. I do agree with previous reviews about the staff - despite the quiet session (only 6 customers) the immaculately dressed barmaid was aloof and not disposed to pleasantries. I'm sure diners wil take preference on busier sessions. sussexred - 26 Mar 2008 22:32 |
| On a nostalgic wander around my old stamping ground round Imperial College thought I'd visit my former local, the tucked away Prince of Wales on Fairholt Street. Damn, now a trendy wine bar, more about image than substance. Sneered at by the staff - obviously I shoulda had a loud braying voice and guffawed a lot... absolutely... But back then it had the shabby charm of a local boozer: taciturn Hitchcock look-a-like landlord, and was frequented by tremendous mix of porters and kitchen staff from the local hotels; washed up actresses; and various wealthy types and aristocracy, not that you would know it, slumming it - Lady Gilbey (of the gin) getting sloshed and various minor Viscounts, Gerald Ratner after the fall... and all joining in tormenting the occasional hooray henrys that stumbled in... a loss. rachaelov - 17 Dec 2006 15:53 |

| Too-upmarket-for-its-own-good pub/resteraunt down some out-of-the-way streets in Knightsbridge. The only pub I've been in where I actually felt uncomfortable in jeans. And yes, the bar-maids can have a slight attitude. They seemed a little bored, waiting for their modelling agency to call them on their mobiles. I asked for two pints of something and she said, "Oh, I've poured out Kroenberg by mistake - would you mind having that instead?" Erm, yes I would, darling!!!!!!! anonymous - 3 Aug 2005 15:23 |
