| I visit this pub most days as I’m based in the area, I have to say this is one of London’s gems, the staff always laugh in the right places at my witty one liners and the landlady is contrary to what others say here, a very fair professional with a huge understanding of the pub culture, she runs a tight ship! I have never witnessed any trouble and their zero tolerance to both drugs and rude behaviour should be commended. It’s great to watch the many tourists visit for their legendary fish n chips, which I can honestly recommend. Over all a brilliant London boozer! djhouse - 23 Nov 2011 10:06 |

| I came to this pub with my friends on a Saturday night of Halloween to enjoy the night. we sat outside for over 4 hours. I went into the bar to go in the toilet and i have been question on where i have bought a drink by the bouncer who was looking at what look it was the manager of the pub. This manager have not seeing me so he wasnt sure of say yes to it. by this point i had already spent over 30 pounds on this place as the prices are so high. After i had to explain myself to this people I have been let through the interrogations to go into a toilet that had no tissue paper and was blocked you would think that after paying so much money for drinks and having to go through a questioning you will end up in a decent toilet, in this place you wont. I then went to 2 of the lady bar-staff who were so busy involved in there own conversation to even acknowledge me or do their toilet checks. I had to get their attention and I had mention the fact that the toilets were in this condition I didn't get a thank you from any of the staff one of them looked angry and stormed off for 2 seconds then came back to her collogue and carry on like nothing happened. When I sat back down with my friends i find out i wasn't the only one that had to go through this witch angered me even more that I had to leave this establishment. Over all the level of customer services in this place is a joke, and disappointing. Specially for someone that had work in the same industry for so many years. I wouldn't particularly bother with this place and I hope that my comment talks for all of the others that had to experience such horrible customer service from this establishment. neliel - 31 Oct 2011 10:35 |
| Popped in here for a quick pint and to watch the cricket.This was my first 'proper' visit to this pub (only previous visit was on a Saturday lunchtime when i was the sole customer) and i was fairly impressed.Excellent pint of Deuchars (£3-50) and the 2 girls working behind the bar were exceptionally friendly and efficient.I didn't eat but i saw several dishes go past and it all looked very good indeed.They had no TVs' as such just 2 'big screens' which don't really work for me in the daytime as they can be hard to see.Didn't see anything of the supposedly obnoxious landlady.Maybe next time. boundsgreenboy - 15 Aug 2011 12:48 |
| Been there a few times over the years... and always then wonder why I bothered. Majorty of the staff are friendly, but there is usually the grumpy landlady not too far away. If it wasn't for the worry of getting a good hiding from her I would be tempted to suggest that service with a smile, especially when you own the place, is always a positive.... In terms of the beer, its ok. You will be drinking it in a relatively dated environment though (even with the recent, cheaply done, refit) and will have paid approaching £8 for 2 pints of whatever you go for which is more expensive than some of the other places very nearby. All in all there is no reason to drink there that I can tell. If I were you I would head 2 minutes down the road to the river and have a beer there where you will pay less, maybe get a smile (or at least not feel unwelcome) and most probably be in somewhere that apprecaites you spending your hard earned with them! captain_tp - 6 Jul 2011 13:34 |
