| First impressions of this pub were good, a couple of real ales on and location on the Barbican were plus points. Imediately ruined by a member of staff. Youngish, short bloke with a furtive, chippy look about him and an earring in, stood there talking to some regulars at the bar despite having seen me standing waiting to be served and there being no other customers waiting. I tried to hail him, from about 6 feet away, but he steadfastly refused to even glance at me. After a few minutes of the "silent treatment" I was served by a young girl who was perfectly pleasant. My pint was fair and I have no complaint on that score. On going to the bar for a re-fill, bugger me if the same thing didn't happen again, the little chippy bloke just stares at me menacingly and I have to wait for the girl to be available before I can be served. What a joke. This bloke either mistook me for someone else, or he makes a point of taking an instant dislike to certain customers, or he is just a bully who expects the poor young girl he works with to serve all the customers. Sorry to rant (not my usual style) but sometimes an incident like this is just so preposterous that all other aspects of the pub experience are completely wiped out of ones mind. I was prepared to give the place a try, and all I got in return was a slap in the face. Sorry Mr Chippy it's got to be 0/10. Jay28 - 2 Sep 2008 12:42 |
| Looks like I had a lucky escape here as we didn't like the look of the menu and went to the Navy instead. If the foregoing comments are true no wonder the Pilgrims sailed away! REVERENDBAZ - 12 May 2008 10:48 |
| Worst pub food I can remember ! Took 40 minutes to decide they had run out of rice for my curry, then served up lumps of chicken in a ready made sauce with uncooked horrible tasting chips! Never again. provenjohn - 20 Aug 2007 11:06 |
| Decor is ok and it's a nice location. The atmosphere is neither intimidating, nor particularly friendly. Only one ale was available (there were three 'pumps') and this was Spitfire that appeared to come through a smooth flow system: it was chilled, tasteless and without character. Bit like the pub really. gravedigga - 5 Feb 2007 12:26 |
| Only had two ales when I visited - and the one I ordered ran out (sign of a good turn-over?). Lager was very expensive close to £3 as I recall. Nice location in the Barbican. tanglewood - 3 Nov 2006 21:03 |
