I previously gave this place an 8, but based on a recent visit I'm having to drop it considerably.

Went on a Friday night before meeting lee_newton at The Wenlock, and ended up waiting about 20 minutes to be served. "Andy, you lazy f***er," you may be thinking, "why didn't you just get off your sizeable posterior and go to the bar?". Well, because they don't allow you to go the bar in this place, they demand you wait for table service - then don't provide it.

The entire place was heaving and they must have only had 4 waitgirls serving the main bar area. The one who was covering our region seemed to be more interested in having shots with a neighbouring table than serving waiting customers.

Eventually we got served, which required me handing over my credit card so they could have my details should I try to tunnel out and escape without paying. Shameful stereotypical thoughts of 1940's Germany rush to my head. Anyway, we order two steins of beer. "Oh...we're out of steins at the moment". Out of steins!?!? In a "Bavarian Beerhall"!?!? Reminds me of the Monty Python cheeseshop sketch - "not much call for that sir"!

Anyway, two overpriced pints of Hacker Pschorr later, and we're on our way to The Wenlock. Don't think I'll be going back anytime soon.

We had a birthday party there last week and it was lots of fun. Hillarious. Food & Drinks were very good. Nice waitresses were looking after us. We will be back shortly to introduce some colleagues into "German Parties"

Its a great place around Old Street. Fresh beers, nice food and good service. The atmosphare is just like the Oktoberfestival in Munich.

The premise for this place is great: big largers, nice waitresses, and the feel of the Oktoberfest, without having to shell out to go to Germany.

The reality was a massive dissapointment. We were unable to get Stein beers all night due to a lack of glasses. The beer was not fresh. The atmosphere was poor.

However, the the biggest disappointment was the terrible service, which was slow, unfriendly and unresponsive after making a complaint. The waitresses and manager were rude.

I would not recommend this place to anyone. There are far better places in the old street area.
