| 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. JoRo - 18 Apr 2008 11:32 |
| 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. smimbin - 31 Mar 2008 10:35 |
| 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. bitterntwisted - 1 Jan 2008 22:34 |
| Outstanding location, excellent for sitting outside and observing the world go by during the summer months and a Young’s public house as well. Been many times over the years but this was my first trip back since the beer moved to Bedfordshire (Charles Wells) and after reading a recommendation on a CAMERA (and cricket) publication. The environment inside is now more Hotel foyer/brew-pub than bar with rather unusual lighting for the main service area…The service is polite, when you get served, in fact the pub is run almost exclusively by antipodeans’. The beer is average, the food is average (the brekkies was especially greasy!!)….nothing of note to recommend this boozer over any other, with its history and location it could do better.

| Frankly the worst pub I've ever been to in terms of extremely shoddy service. The glassy eyed staff serve whoever is in front of them when they finish with the previous customer, instead of attempting to keep any kind of mental note of who's been waiting a while. I stood, money in hand, for 20 minutes in the FRONT ROW of waiting customers at this bar and was made to feel even more like a faceless cattle when, having eventually been served, the guy handed my change to another customer! Not sure if they're blind or just stupid but a trip to this bar for your round is exasperating - putting it mildly. I'm local and I will NEVER return! clampham - 15 Oct 2007 19:36 |
