| Visited on a hot thursday lunchtime.Beer was ok but the food was the worst we have ever had.It takes a particular skill to make a jacket potato inedible.To cap it all we had to wait 30mins for the food as it was cooked to order makes you wonder who was cooking it.This is sad because a bet lots of tourists visit and this is the worst example of english cuisine.A case for food police as the cooking and image are criminal! knowle - 1 Jun 2009 10:11 |
| We visited this pub yesterday afternoon. I had a couple of pints of London Pride which tasted very good. We both ordered food which was ok for pub grub but we were particularly impressed at the lengths which the barman went to to make sure that my partner's food did not contain any mushrooms. (She is allergic to them). He couldn't do enough to help. multiplexor - 17 Apr 2009 22:34 |
| I would not recommend this pub to anyone, in fact I would encourage people not to go. I went there after an evening at the Proms for a couple of drinks and there was a sign on the wall which stated that closing time was 1pm. So when I noticed this we bought another bottle of wine at just before 11pm. Five minutes later the bell was rung and 10 minutes after that we were asked to drink up. I pointed out the notice on the wall and the member of staff said 'that is out of date' and ripped it off the wall. 10 minutes later the manager came over and ordered us to leave. With still a full glass of wine to drink I said that I couldn't rush and that the sign that was on the wall did show it was open much later. He told me that his colleague had already explained and that they were now closing and we had to leave. I was very angry, there was no apology and he was extremely rude. I told him there was no need to be rude and he replied telling me that there were much worse things he could have said to me. What??? I am still upset about it and that was a couple of months ago now. Also I noted it had another sign on the wall which stated they did not serve tap water. I thought that everywhere had to serve tap water now?? Suzianny01 - 31 Oct 2008 13:19 |
| This place has just had a refurb. The result is surprisingly good considering the state it was before. Still quite traditional (which is good) but it's clean and not so dingy now with wooden floor boards and new furniture. Worth a visit if you're at South Ken tube. beer4all - 14 Oct 2008 11:28 |
| Went for a late drink last night (11pm). Have to say that staying open late is probably the only good thing about this pub. A pint of Star and a double vodka and lemonade was £10.36! Outrageous! And they certainly don't use their profits to keep the place in good order. Our table was peeling and the loos don't seem to have been decorated since the 1970's! Shan't be returning. danym - 1 May 2008 11:00 |
