| This place just doesn't feel like a pub. The beer was pretty good with some interesting choices, but that's as far as the 'pubness' goes. Overcrowded, uncomfortable and little tables hosting silly-sized plates. Worst of all was the clientele, most of whom were just like the characters who turn up in the 'It's Grim Up North London' cartoon strip in private Eye. Dave_the_Bee - 1 Jul 2008 00:38 |
| Couldn't agree more she is soooooo rude! She acts as though she is doing you a massive favour by serving you! Other staff are too busy trying to be cool and chatting to their mates to serve you properly. Shame as its quite a nice little pub. nicci - 19 Jun 2008 16:05 |
| CHARLES LAMB PUB, ELIA STREET, N1. Yep, some (but not all) of the staff are EXTREMELY snooty & rude, especially one with a short 'bob' hairstyle - she, single-handedly, must account for 95% of the bad reviews this pub gets! Get Rid of Her! This 'Pub' is really more a Restaurant trying to disguise itself as a pub! The food is excellent but generally over-priced. Tends to be frequented during the week by 'Nouveau-Riche' loud-mouthed and incredibly boorish rejects from the Royal Bank of Scotland at Angel, taking an on-expenses long-lunch etc. Seats are small and hard, tables are not big enough for the huge 'gastro' plates they serve the food on, assuming you have drinks there too. A very 'cramped' feel in the main area, tho' they have another room with restaurant-style tables and more hard chairs! You really have to be desperate or bloody-minded to make this your 'regular'!
