| Re: johnapples02 review. I was there on the night you visited. Sitting across the bar while you had your "£10 pound minimum charge" episode, as it happens. First off, pretty much every bar in London enforces this rule. Yes, it's a pain, but it's how it is. Get over it. You didn't really help yourself by loudly chiding the (very patient) bar manager that you went there all the time - as if this somehow qualifies you for special treatment. If you went there "all the time", you'd know about the minimum charge for cards. Secondly, I've always found the staff to be friendly, engaging and efficient, even at those times when it's incredibly busy. Points off for only showing Sky Sports News? Er, no, actually. If you went there "all the time", you'd know that the staff usually put on whatever the customers ask for. Any disputes relating to golf vs cricket or whatever tend to be resolved by an informal straw poll - or they just put on the TV in the other room - something else you might have noticed, if, as you say, you went there "all the time". It's the best bar I've been to in many years. The food's great, the beer's great, and the company is varied and interesting. One other thing - regarding your final comment? They play music all the time. Very good it is too. simonsouth - 31 Jul 2008 13:34 |
| A quick summary of all the rant below, don’t go during the evening go during the day. I go to this pub quite often but now im staring to think about going across the road to the S-Bar. One point for the food, big and tasty go for the steak. One point against for the special of the day, very small and over priced. One point for the atmosphere not too arty farty just a nice good pub feel. One point against for the service at the bar, there is only one till so they are asking for trouble at busy times. Another point off for the service at the bar, because they really have to train their staff to be more polite to the customers some not all don’t smile or say thank you its just here's your pathetic change get out of my face next customer (no please at the end!) One staff member in particular offers the rudest service he's the one running around trying to serve ten people at the same time, whilst trying to chat up the anything that moves and makes the other bar staff visibly frustrated because of all the mess and wrong orders he makes. (I assume he is the manager because he is still there) One point off for the £10 minimum on cards, in this day and age why? It feels like ive gone back in time five years where there was at least a reason for the banking limits. One point for the beer, lovely wheat beers and a good all round selection. One point off for lack of sport on TV they are obviously keeping costs down by only showing sky sports news. Another point off for only having one TV. Finaly one point on because they don’t play loud music adding to that nice pub feel. So that makes it 6 points against and four points for therefore only a rating of 4 for me. Its hit and miss with this place, johnapples02 - 2 Jul 2008 11:38 |
| Relaxed pub/bar with an excellent drop of Wadworths St George and the Dragon at present, served in a handle jug. Two rooms and a very small area out the back. Has aspirations, as they say. rainlight - 18 Apr 2008 19:22 |
