| Arrived at 5.15 on a Thursday evening. Pub is packed with tables, you can hardly move for them. In fact there was no where you could stand where you were not in someones way. The decor is in a reasonably good state. All the tables have 'reserved' on them. The dart board is 'reserved', upstairs is 'reserved'. Even a two seat bench by the wall and with no table is 'reserved'. Feel like an unwanted guest! We moved a reserved sign to the plant in the corner as our comment on the matter! The crowd here are bohemian young wannabees nursing a glass of wine for hours and clogging up the little space in front of the bar. When trying to get the toilet I had to raise my voice to them twice to get through. You have a massive choice of beer here - not! London Pride which was passable and Spitfire which was grim. The Pride ran out. So it was on to the bottled beer of which the choice is as week as the real ale. Ended up drinking Leffe. We left at 18.30 when all the various groups whom had reserved the tables started arriving. So we were here 75 mins but it felt much much longer. I can honestly say this is one of the worst pubs I have ever been in and you could not get me back in here if you offered free beer all evening. The only redeeming feature was that service was quick. madmitch76 - 18 Dec 2009 11:49 |
| Given the area it is dingy and really needs a facelift. Nothing at all going for it. Comfy old sofas, more locals than city suits. pc09 - 5 Mar 2009 15:12 |
| Seems a nice enough place, old Truman pub which apart from the holey leather sofas and Roman blinds, hasn’t been messed about too much. Beer was rather ordinary, Pride and Broadside on, but my pint was rather cloudy and watery, overall could be a good pub if they sorted the beer out. mrse1 - 5 Mar 2008 17:06 |
| The Alice, as it is affectionately known, has become my local. The owners and staff are friendly, the duke box has it all, there's a pool table, darts and a quiz machine. They're now having a push on food, which from what i've tasted is going well. The chairs are comfy - big leather sofas too - and the crowd are welcoming. There are sometimes beer troubles, but they've Flowers IPA on the handle at the mo, and it tastes good. I love the place. dan_de_sas - 5 Feb 2008 22:24 |
| Well .. I've walked past this pub a few times and from the outside it always looks empty but really nice inside, we went in .. 12 of us and they'd actually run out of beer! .. just bottles, that was it! How ridiculous!! horacebat - 24 Jan 2008 09:06 |
