Not good. Was in her on Thurs night and I was quite shocked. The service was good so no complaints there but it is SO expensive here. I don't mind paying for good food but 20 quid for an 8oz steak, which was nowhere near 8oz, is taking the mick. It did come with 12 chips, yes 12 I counted them!! If this pub wasn't so busy ripping people off then it may stand a chance but sadly someone must be making lots of cash so I can't see it changing any tme soon as it was pretty busy.

I cannot recommend this pub to anybody.

Not enough staff on and those that were generally didn't look like they enjoyed working there.
Way over priced, £4.15 for a Peroni is not acceptable. Drinking out of plastic cups is not acceptable if I'm paying £4.15 for the pleasure. I also noticed the plastic cups are washed and reused!

Had an incredibly bad experience here last night.

The sausage sandwich we ordered was appalling. The sausage was stone cold with the stringy and tough skin hanging off it. The onions weren't cooked and it was absolutely lathered in dijon mustard.

My chicken 'burger' - and I use the term burger loosely - was generally ok except for the dry bread roll that Tesco would be ashamed to sell.

One pint of Kronenbourg and one small glass of Pinot Grigio came to the extortionate price of nearly £8.

The icing on the cake was being laughed at when, instead of requesting another sausage sandwich, we asked for something vegetarian like a cheese and pickle... apparently they couldn't fathom why we wouldn't want a repeat of the sausage sandwich.

Ugh... I would never reccomend this pub. Overpriced, tacky decor, completely and utterly atmosphereless, un-caring staff, generally naff.

I'm in the industry, I know good food, I know a good pub when I see one - head to the POW in Clapham Old Town if you want atmosphere and great food.

This place is rapidly sliding downhill while ripping off customers at the same time.A 20p rise in the price of a pint is accompanied by a bar often soaked in old beer,a beer garden full of litter & frequently a lack of staff to provide a service that is prompt.While boasting excellent cuisine the kitchen frequently turns out chips which are black on the outside & raw in the middle.Save yourself money & time & avoid.

This pub epitomises all that is wrong with Youngs new gentrified house style. It has obviously been subjected to an expensive makeover which features low level and very uncomfortable seating but the lighting is inadequate and the decoration characterless. The beer was in perfectly acceptable condition but overpriced. The menu was also advertising very ordinary food at inflated prices. having waited an hour for my sandwich, I then had to argue to get my money back when there was still no sign of food materialising and even then the member of staff tried to give me short change! My friends were finally served some very ordinary food one hour and twenty minutes after placing their order.

Avoid this pub like the plague: there are plenty better in the area, and even a few Youngs houses that haven't yet suffered the imposition of their ghastly new house style.
