| Went here last Saturday evening. A rather over the top security guard metal detected all the men going in, and asked us if we had any penknifes on us. Our female friends walked straight in. Needless to say we had a drink and turned straight around. Drinks are very cheap, which is why it is packed out, but the security measures suggest a lot of trouble and fights. theadz01 - 11 Jul 2008 16:58 |
| Situated opposite Bromley South train station, The Richard Compton is a large Lloyds No 1, yet in places, has more of a regular Wetherspoon feel to it. With heaters, tables and chairs etc, the patio entrance is smoker-friendly. Interior is everything you'd expect, yet the middle section (by the long bar) seemed recently refurbished to me. There is a 'family area' situated towards the rear of the pub. There were plentiful ales on offer, including several guests, though, as in an unadventurous mood, opted for my beloved Guinness. The staff were friendly and attentive enough. All in all, I found my experience in here last Saturday (12th Jan) to be pleasant enough. Here is most definitely not quite how some here make out. IE, a complete dump. HTM69 - 16 Jan 2008 15:27 |
| I won't lie to you, this bar isn't perfect, you do get some sticky tables and the odd hilarious fist fight between Preppy lads. However, this bar is always packed on the weekends for a reason. It's well run, the owners care about the bar and your hospitality, so they may not always have an ale. Nowheres perfect but they're one of the most popular bars in Bromley for a reason. Yes I did used to work here and yes I work somewhere else. Which a complete sh*thole and totally at odds with this place at how well its being run. After what Im experiancing now, I'd suggest everyone visit this place at least once on a Saturday night (to start your night off that is) if friday is too busy Dynamike - 25 Oct 2007 13:48 |
| Unusually for Wetherspoons this one did not have the familiar “not available” signs up for the guest beers. I chose one, but was told it was “not available!” I asked for another and was told it was also “not available.” Fortunately my third choice WAS available, because I would not have asked for the fourth as it was from the Wickwar brewery whose muddy water I do not drink but that is another story. The bar staff don’t bother cleaning the tables and glasses and empty crisp bags are still there long after the people have gone. I agree with the previous comment about sticky tables. As usual I was only here with friends and would not have chosen a Wetherspoons had it been my own choice. fuzzfeast - 3 Sep 2007 15:17 |
| Went in there on a Thursday night, there was beer and broken glass on the floor - they put a cone near it rather than clear it up, there was a pint glass in the urinal and an out-of-order urinal simply had a black bin bag sellotaped over it. Most people inside are underage with fake ID. Staff are slow to serve. Every few minutes a red or blue disco light gets shined in your eyes, even though they do not play music. Every surface in the place is sticky with dried beer, or wet with beer so don't lean on anything. In fact don't go there! There beer they serve is nasty anyway. Don't believe the real ale claim - they may sell it but they do not keep it well! anonymous - 2 Aug 2007 16:15 |
