| Probably the most obnoxious landlady I have ever had the displeasure to meet, whether drunk or sober - thats the landlady I mean! One to avoid. 8teenboy - 6 Nov 2011 10:27 |
| Refurbished (again), and the 'new' Old Suffolk Punch' is thankfully much better than its previous incarnation as the so-called O.S.P. However, the large single-room layout - with a rather annoying single step up to the bar - is still a bit soul-less with its anonomous modern furniture, high ceilings and musak. Cramped patio area at the back overlooking the Frank Banfield Park. Three Greene King real ales on - Abbot, Back of the Net and IPA (£2.95, and in good condition). rpadam - 12 Aug 2010 22:33 |
| As previous contributors have correctly pointed out, this is now the Old Suffolk Punch, and it doesn't look much like the current BITE picture above. It's a largish rather cavernous Greene King pub on the Fulham Palace Road, not too far from Charing Cross Hospital. It's heavily modernised inside and food appears to be emphasised, but, on my recent quick Sunday afternoon visit, no one was eating and there were fewer than half a dozen customers present in total. At the far end of the pub, a plasma TV was showing the South Africa v Scotland 20/20 cricket match with no sound on, despite the fact that virtually everyone in the pub seemed to be watching it. Another TV was showing the omnibus Eastenders edition, also with no sound on ( what's the point of that ?). As those who have walked down this stretch of the Fulham Palace Road will readily testify, there's a somewhat seedy down at heel feel to the area and I was left wondering whether this pub was correctly pitched for the area. My pint of GK IPA - £ 2.80p - was in reasonable condition, but I'm not feeling compelled to rush back here in a hurry JohnBonser - 18 Jun 2009 13:09 |
| This is a great pub! Over the last year I have been in this pub on four occasions prior to attending the Apollo for various rock concerts. I have to say I feel I have discovered a gem. I didn't know it as the OSP, only the traditional Old Suffolk Punch. What a lovely pub. It ticks all the boxes - pleasant traditional decor, excellent real ale, good food, excellent staff (the manageress is right on the ball and does a brilliant job), several TV screens which somehow don't interfere with conversation, easy walking distance to the Apollo. What more could you ask for? I'd recommend this place to anybody. Well done Greene King, well done Josie the manager. beehave - 19 Dec 2008 12:42 |
| No longer the OSP but properly the Old Suffolk Punch again, yes it's Greene King but still quite a good pub. Has the old OSP and previous Old Suffolk Punch layout where the old Golden Gloves's right hand bar is now the kitchen. Karaoke on a Friday night is a regular occurrence. rainlight - 3 May 2008 01:35 |
