| When I moved to Walthamstow 10 years ago, this was THE pub. Now it wouldn't even occur to me to go there. I'd go to the Nags Head or more likely the Rose & Crown which is well on it's way to being the best pub in Walthamstow. As for the Village on the rare occasions I've been in during the last couple of years it seemed tatty and the beer was shite. Sort your beer out and I might come back, if not forget it. mobygrape - 13 Jul 2008 22:32 |
| Seems to have got better since the Nags opened and usually has some nice ale. Beer garden is great. Seems more homely than the Nags if you ignore the infamous brick-throwing incident. Some nice times in there that haven't quite been equalled by the Nags. james32 - 29 Feb 2008 05:55 |
| I think the writers of the previous reviews have obviously been spending too much time with the velvet leopard print table cloths of the Nags.... The Village is a great pub. Yes, it could do with a refurb, but frankly the decor doesn't bother me when I'm having a great night out with like-minded people. The landlord is actually a really nice guy who works there 24/7. As the pub is owned by a weird parent company/brewery thing, his hands are tied when it comes to the ales he has on and the decoration etc. I think he does a good job with what he's got. I have to laugh at the comment about the world's worst ponytail, as I know who you're talking about. All I would say is before you slag people off (including the group of hatch moaners), try chatting to them first! The Village regulars (with a few exceptions) are the nicest bunch of people you ever could meet who are always up for a talk if you are. Just don't get started chatting to the old guy with the walking stick. Lovely as he is, you will NEVER get away!! Londonwelsh - 31 Dec 2007 12:31 |
| If you like your ale but dont drink there regularly youve got a bit of a problem as too often they're serving it flat and you could get bored sending it back until you get a decent one. If its your local you know whats good n' bad on whats just gone on but if it was kept properly you wouldnt need that. The owners must've made a fortune from this busy pub as theres been nowt spent on it in 10 years - not so much as getting the tables varnished/polished. I like the pub despite this and the landlords disinterest in his ale. Magpie - 13 Dec 2007 12:47 |
| I know what offthewagon07 means. The landlord is amisery but he supports Sunderland so that in part explian things. The crowd that hangs around the bar has, in its number, the possessor of the worlds worst pony tail. The owner, a 40 something bloke really should know better. Pubs ok though, especially the Tuesday night quiz. BWW - 4 Dec 2007 16:13 |
