| Newly refurbed in anonymous gastro style, the patio is now fully enclosed by canvas prioritising diners with smokers banished to the garden that closes at 10. Remains woefully understaffed and this obviously impacts on bar/kitchen service. I heard diners complaining about portion sizes and also heard one of the staff bragging that they had taken £6K on one of the recent BH Monday's. No surprise given low staff overheads & top dollar Soho drinks prices. The young professional crowd that have niched into Bounds Green (because of the comparative property Bang you get for your Buck) deserve better. I'd drink here more often if it weren't for the resentful feeling of the owners taking the piss out of a captive audience. Wiccaman777 - 22 Jun 2011 15:01 |
| This having been my local since before I could drink, I know what it used to be like. It was ok but slowly regressed to being a bit of a hole, although one with a couple of pool tables at least. It was taken over and given a quick once over (to resemble the Maid of Muswell - the same chain no doubt), the vagrants moved on and decent beers put on. And suddenly, from a cheap £2 a pint we've since had to pay near on £4 a pint since (and £4.25 a pint just a couple of nights ago). This is Bounds Green, not Upper Street. The prices are not justified either by numbers of staff (as people have said, there are hardly ever many), or by what must be low overheads. However, there are no other local pubs. The Springfield up the road is what the Ranelagh used to be, and if one day someone decides to decorate the place and keep the prices sensible then i'd rather go there. For such a large catchment area there are NO local pubs. The Maid of Muswell would be the next one, and that's just a copy of here - although it's a better pub and i've no idea what the beer costs because it's not an issue. I can't say I use this pub very often now. If i'm going to spend that sort of money i'd rather go somewhere decent. It's just been redecorated too, and I can't say I like it. It went from dark and moody to a bit tacky and bright - it looks more like the old ranelagh. As I say, it's a shame, this is my local... ton11 - 27 May 2011 11:04 |
| I'll join the list of disappointed drinkers at the Ranelagh, the waiting at the bar to order anything on a Thurs,Fri, Sat is about 15 to 20 mins. Don’t expect to see more than 2 staff serving drinks and one of them loading/offloading the glass washer… expect a quick rinse (half clean glass)!! Not writing this to discredit the place because I agree that it’s quite nice but don’t really fancy the idea of waiting around too long AAAAND…the work in the kitchen needs some attention too as well as the size of the portions. Needless to say…not going back. pubcitizen - 11 Apr 2011 16:31 |
| I am popping in tonight for a drink in the beer garden - haven't been here in a while so hope its improved. Really hope its worth it! Becka - 7 Apr 2011 17:44 |
| haha that 'colostomy' bag was is in fact the handsoap for the dispenser! the keys had been misplaced so we were not able to change it over - it does have initial antibacterial soap written on the side of the bag - but guess some people are a little too quick to judge. the cigarette bin will be removed soon (keys for this were also on the lost set so it will just be getting removed as there are ashtrays on all patio tables) publover84 - 20 Mar 2011 17:59 |
