This potentially could be an excellent pub. Good range of European beers on tap, but the staff are just going through the motions and the loos! My God! They should give you a complimentary cholera vaccination with every visit.

This should be a brilliant pub. it looks fantastic. It's very comfortable. The drinks are very good, London Pride lovely on my visit. But completely let down by staff who just do not want to be there. Rude, slow inefficient service, would be so easy to sort out. 6 I think.

Thanks extraordinary for your amazing insight! I have been to Belgium several times to enjoy the beer there, but as far as I am concerned there is nothing stopping landlords here serving the same product up to the same quality. Lots of pubs can manage it, why can't this one?

Do you need to go to Ireland to get a decent pint of Guinness? Or to China to get decent roast duck?

A good pint of Guinness but rather spoiled by two things; Gentlemen's lavatories which smell like a public convenience. (Sympathies with the landlord as it must be an almost impossible task to maintain a decent standard considering the amount of 'filtered' ale that passes through there!)
Secondly, the volume of the 'background' music.Is it really for the staff or the customers? Played at such a level that conversation within is nigh on impossible; believe me we, and most other customers resort to terse shouted conversations just to gain acknowledgement from friends less than a yard away.
Requests to 'turn the gramaphone lower' are met with comments like, "I'm not sure if I'll be allowed to". Is there some deep feeling amonng licencees which links sound volume with speed and quanity of drink consumed?
Anyway, rant completed, not an unpleasant visit.

I've been to this pub several times since working aroubnd the area. Why is it so impossible to try and use the toilets here without having to put on waders and take your own loo paper? Other than this, it's just a typical old boozer, don't expect too.
