| Is this place some sort of joke? I waited for 5 minutes at the bar before anyone appeared behind it to serve me. I’m not a fan of standing around like some mug waiting to be served, especially when I’m surrounded by the smell of half eaten plates of Thai food that haven’t been cleared up. An apology may have been nice, but no such luck. Youngs Ordinary was available along with various lagers, but the Special and Bombardier were both off. There was no atmosphere to speak of and at £3.50 a pint you won’t ever catch me in here again. Strongers - 6 Oct 2008 12:52 |
| Utterly missed opportunity to be a classic locals' but stylish boozer. I pop back every few months to see if anything has improved - sadly it never has. The landlord is undeniably miserable (I don't enjoy hearing someone arguing with his wife when I am out for a beer, especially when its the landlord). And anyone who puts the price of a pint up by 50p every year to celebrate Boat Race Day is plain greedy. The Thai food, the riverside location and the music keep this place going, but unfortunately none of these features is really makes a pub a pub. anonymous - 1 Nov 2007 16:28 |
| I like this place but it's not without its' faults. Firstly, it's got a great Jazz affiliation (being a renowned venue in the back room.) The biggest downside is that it's a bit big, which tends to take away from the intimacy most great pubs have in common. This can be got around by using clever design and lighting, but there is no evidence of that here. The food is decent and honest; you can have either Thai or "traditional" whatever that means these days. Anyone who slates the landlord whould be taken outside and thrashed with the Cat O' Nine tails. He's not grumpy, he's human, which means you don't get the cheap smiles and easy wisecracks you might associate with someone who has been trained in customer service. But what you do get is the feeling that you are dealing with a man whose business this is. And frankly, that's fine by me. Sort out the "feel" and this would be a cracking place. As it is, it's merely very decent! alemeetagain - 24 Sep 2007 18:00 |

| Popped in here by chance on Sunday. Really nice pub, although a mite expensive. Food smelt nice although didn't try it. Planning another visit in near future. CheekyShepherd - 6 Jun 2007 18:03 |
