| Makes me weep how far down (Downshire)hill this place has gone. Why can't the management sort their act out? This place should be a bonafide moneyspinner- superb location and one of the best beer gardens in London. IT was better about 10 years ago when you could get a table and sit down and relax and get some service. You felt like you were in a proper pub back then. Went in yesterday- what a fiasco. Waited an aeon for someone, anyone to serve me at the bar. Tried to turn it into a restaurant instead of just running with what this place would be best at- a no frills, honest pub. What a waste of time. rosslynrascal - 27 Sep 2009 20:38 |
| The worst Sunday roast we've ever had! Firstly, my husband and I were seated in the family section; apparently they had mistaken me for his child instead of his wife, even though he is only 3 years older than me, which was insulting to say the least. Secondly, the food was absolutely dire. How can you get a roast so wrong? The meat and potatoes were cold and bland and tasted of nothing, the vegetables were practically raw, the (Bisto) gravy - we had to ask for more as they'd given us such a meagre amount that our food was almost completely dry - was so heavily diluted that it was really just flavourless brown water. It was obvious that the chef had made absolutely no effort whatsoever. And we were the first people to be served, so they didn't even have the excuse of being busy. Needless to say, we refused to pay. The whole point of going to a restaurant is to have food better than you can make yourself at home. But this was so disappointing. On the plus side, the waiters were friendly and efficient. gracemh - 27 Sep 2009 18:13 |
| Worst pub experience I can remember. We sat down in the back garden with a drink whilst deciding what to eat. When we went to the bar to order grub we discovered no food could be ordered in the garden - in which case it might be helpful to have some signs there stating that. The only outdoor space in which you can apparently order food is the front terrace and of course that was as a result full. Whilst learning about this 'policy' I heard a bar girl telling another customer who had been perfectly polite when ordering food but wasn't sure what her table number was, 'Well I'm not going to wait here to find out'. Eventually (foolishy) we decided to eat inside. Pleasant waitress at least, but we had to go and find her to order food. Meanwhile we spilt a drink at our table so in the absence of any visible staff in the restaurant I went to the bar to ask for some tissues. I asked a barman who was standing about 2 feet across the bar from me and was looking me straight in the eye. He promptly wondered off without a word and that was that. Food arrived later and was truly awful. I give this place 1 point as the garden looks nice. Do yourself a big favour and find somewhere else to eat and drink disso - 18 Aug 2009 14:02 |
