Although this quaint little pub is quite laid back and comfortable, the bar staff certainly aren't.

I was told the bar lady was too busy to pull a pint while she sorted out a round of shots for her mates. I see this is a familiar theme to The Florist.

Overall I was impressed by the pub but don't expect much happiness from the bar staff.

I like this pub, small, scruffy-chic, with a nice atmosphere. Interesting mix of old-timer Eastenders and the cool young crowd. Bit pricey but not ridiculous. Good friendly quiz night and the core staff are great and make a real effort, with a cheeky charm that adds to the chilled-out vibe.

But off-peak the staff seem to be ever-changing and pretty poor, and the service has definitely slowed in recent months. Tonight I was waggling a fiver at a deserted bar for about ten minutes while seemingly both bar staff were outside having a fag. This lets down an otherwise pretty nice local.

Popped in here with friend after having passed it a few times and thought it looked quite pleasant. Wrong. Rude and unattentive bar staff. Not a smile between the two of them and were clearly far too busy contemplating their own fabulous-ness to serve me a drink. Stood at the bar with cash clearly in hand for about 4 minutes - barman was texting on his phone and barwoman had popped out for fag. Very loud music. Dirty tables. Generally rubbish. Went up the road to The Camel - was exactly what we were looking for! Take note, Florist.

Nice little pub but the music can be deafening, service slow, and the clientele a bit wanky at times. Seems to attract quite a young crowd but the odd old geezer as well. A bit pricey. Get there early for a seat or you could be hovering by the windows. Hit and miss.

I only ever drink Guinness in here since they got rid of the Tanglefoot but this is just down the road so it suits me fine! Good for an after-work pint and everyone in there is really friendly. The clientelle are a little poncey but its got a decent atmosphere when the bar staff aren't subjecting us to Bob Dillon's greatest hits on full blast!
