Seems like a reasonable-enough place to me. Modernised, but not overdone, with a youngish (but not teenage) clientele. Real ale served in a jug, which is a rarity these days (but did require a little top-up). Lots of space in the upstairs bar.

Jesus wept.

Been meaning to join this site for a while now - this is my first review. I used to love this place (admittedly that was a good few years back) but what a ****hole it is now.

Bar staff seem to exclusivley consist of arsey bints who don't look old enough to be serving alcohol - no matter how many crappy tattoos, piercings or moody barnets they have.

Beer was crap - poorly pulled with a head of about two inches and taste like the pipes had just been cleaned with bleach.

Didn't bother with any food as I was off to the Hare & Tortoise when I went (lovely place) so just there for a few beers before eating. Wish I hadn't bothered.

When I paid for the last round I gave the barmaid a card - and she promptly disappeared out the back for two minutes. When I asked why she had done it she said (and I quote) "You've done nuffink but fackin moan since you got ere. Why donchyoo piss orf" in her very best faux Camden adenoidal accent.

Don't worry love - I did, and won't be coming back!

I seem to have had a different experience from everyone else. Had a couple of good pints of Tim Taylors, service was pretty quick despite being busy and the staff were friendly. The crowd was good too - not too many suits. I'd definitely go back.

From recent postings I'd got the impression this place was slipping so I checked it out last weekend. No problems at all: Landlord on fine form, and all five were full pints without having to drive the point home. Burt's crisps on sale - good but pricey. Decent crowd in there, in stark contrast to the old Goose days, and to make the whole experience even more pleasant the French(?)girl who served me was as fit as the proverbial butcher's dog.

staff were rude, house white wine truly disgusting - warm and pretty much undrinkable, they wouldn't change it, I would never go back!
