| This used to be one of my favourite bars in the area with a good selection of belgian beers and excellent food. However, I visited in November and, maybe they were just having an off night, but it seems to have gone downhill. Despite having to leave a £10 deposit just so one of our party to drink his Kwak from an authentic glass (apparently people walk off with them!), the food which was coming out looked like standard pub grub with none of the usual rag-rolled suet puddings, moules or waterzooi to be seen anywhere on the menu. Alot of the beers that we wished to try from their extensive list weren't available and the usually knowledgeable bar staff didn't seem to have much of a clue about the beers that they did have. Very disappointing, I hope it was an off night. firsttimewalker - 28 Jan 2010 14:22 |
| We visited this pub last night, beer was very good although I would not recommend drinking in this place with a large group. The staff certainly fought hard to maintain the authentic Belgian experience to the point where we thrown out for being too loud (threatening to call the police as we stood outside waiting for our friend in the toilet was a little militant). I will therefore always remember this place as being the first pub I have ever been thrown out of. jimbob82 - 3 Oct 2009 12:43 |
| Be careful if you are ordering food in a large group here. We ordered 8 meals - and only six arrived (all were paid for before ordering) Staff were very unhelpful claiming that others in the party 'must have eaten' the two missing meals, and refused to offer and refund or replacement meals. alexreeves - 25 Jul 2009 18:44 |

| One of Londons hidden secrets this place. Never seen so many different Belgium bottles beers in my life time. Well worth seeking out if your in London superseagulls - 6 Apr 2009 18:47 |
