| was in here before the ireland v nigeria game at craven cottage on friday 29th. it's large, comfortable and airy with plenty of seating and some quiet nooks and crannies. we had an early dinner and the food was excellent. my chicken and bean cassoulet was lovely and my wife's burger and chips was excellent. sadly, the beer wasn't. and neither was the service. both the timothy taylor's landlord and the morrissey and fox blonde were cloudy. fortunately the sierra nevada was very good, although my wife had to take hers back because the glass hadn't been rinsed properly and tasted of dishwasher chemicals. i had seen a barman sniff a glass and rinse it before serving someone else so this is obviously a known problem. as the pub got busier the service got worse. there was a crowd on all sides of the square central bar but the bar staff were all gathered in one corner serving only the customers around them. they only reluctantly moved their backsides to other parts of the bar when someone senior turned up and got a rocket from several upset customers. a good pub that could be so much better with some very simple improvements - keep and present the beer better and train the staff in the basics of bar work. porcus_volans - 31 May 2009 13:23 |
| The Temperance looks intriguing from the outside. The interior is decorated with a mix of old and modern styles. My visit yesterday lunchtime was pleasant enough. But it was extremely quiet despite the fact that there was a Premiership football match on at Craven Cottage just through the park. In addition to the many continental-type lagers on offer, they also had 4 real ales - Taylor Landlord, Bath Golden Hare, Mordue The Dodgy Perm and Morrissey & Fox Blonde. For cider lovers, they have a Westons cider and both Aspalls and Addlestones on tap. blue_scrumpy - 25 May 2009 17:54 |
| Walked past this place after coming out of Putney Bridge Tube station. Then had to turn round and go in because the chance to have a pint in an Old Temperance Hall with the thought that members of the Temperance society would be spinning in their graves if they knew one of their former halls was now in the GBBG 09, was too good to pass over. Can't really post a subjective review as I was virtually the first one in this lunchtime, so no problem with the service, and only had the one and didn't eat. But cannot complain about the TT Golden Best. Very nice. Gann - 8 Apr 2009 20:21 |
| Shambles. I used to really enjoy going to this pub when it had its initial makeover, a little over 2 years ago, but I feel compelled to write an updated comment from the one I left many moons ago. This place should be fantastic - it has a huge and varied selection of beers, the food is generally tasty and decently priced and the place has plenty of comfy seating but that is where the positives end. Firstly, there may be a large selection of beers but I have taken back 3 different pints in the same evening because they were off - the bar staff replaced them every time, a little more annoyed each time, but agreed that the lagers were indeed off. Secondly, there needs to be some serious re-training of the bar staff in this place. General nonchalance is one thing, but complete ambivalence to serving customers, bordering on rudeness, is uncalled for. When 10 people are waiting to be served, it is not acceptable to stand there waiting to run through a debit card when you could be serving someone. Lastly, the Gents toilets are a disgrace - unclean, mirror still missing from the wall for I think a year now. There are other various issues that crop up on a regular basis - the 'we are only accepting cash today' has happened several times. I recently tried the 8 bells round the corner from here and it is a world apart (and no, I don't work for the 8 bells). Temperance - pull your socks up; I suspect the only reason you have not lost all of your customers is because The Larrick is currently being refurbed. TheClaw - 19 Feb 2009 14:00 |
| I like the temperance a lot now. I have been visiting the temperance for nearly 2 and a half years and i think that this era of the temperance is a very good pub indeed. The beer range is cracking, like peroni at £3.50 when others not so far away charge £4.30. They also have my favourite cider, aspalls draught in a goblet, AND aspalls blush in a bottle. Over the winter they had some lovely seasonal ales too, which my dad enjoyed on a few occaisions at christmas. I like the artwork on the walls, i like the way the furniture is laid out, i really like the writing and messages on the wall and blackboards. I also like the food, the new menu has some really tasty bits on it, like the baby squid and lamb kofte with little bits of pitta and tzatziki. It's all fairly priced and the portions quite right for me. I think, by most, the kitchen has been sorted. for now!? (And have you noticed that the kitchen looks like it's sat in a giant chalkboard?! Just me then, after one too many aspalls!) The problem with the temperance has been inconsistency, it has definitely become more improved, and you can see the effort being put in at least. And funnily, i had an incident with lipstick on my glass of rose at christmas, it wasn't rose, nor my colour. When i spoke to the manager he was nothing but gracious in sorting it out. He seems a highly capable and conscientious man, if sometime serious and dry humoured human being. But then I do love a man with a dry wit and a beard. especially a red one! Anyway, the temperance is a great pub. And I like it! dervla - 30 Jan 2009 01:22 |
