| I had my wedding party for 85 people at the Grand Union last weekend and hired the whole pub, and I honestly could not recommend it highly enough. It was a fantastic day - the layout of the pub is perfect - the guests arrived by boat to the outdoor terrace, where we had meze style food, pates, empanadas and sangria. It was drizzling at this point, but with the huge heated umbrellas that can be set up to cover the whole terrace area, it didn't matter at all. The large top room was set out with big tables and had the perfect relaxed atmosphere, and the snug downstairs is ideal for dancing - I don't like a huge dance floor where you feel exposed, but this was just right. We left pub games on the tables outside after dinner, where people could chat, play cards or checkers etc and have a whiskey. The food was amazing, the pub designed a menu with us and we choose to have food brought to each table for people to share - someone had to don an apron to carve the meat, which was fun and a real hit with the guests. I'm vegetarian but my husband is a great meat eater, and everyone ate really well and praised the food. The staff were courteous, attentive but also fun - they made up the chalkboards in the pub for us, and designed a soft play area for the kids with sofas and a floor mat. The pub is also beautifully decorated inside with atmospheric lighting, which really set off the flowers and table decorations. It was a great day and that was all about the location - we're already planning a Christmas party! redkez11 - 25 Sep 2011 21:56 |
| Fuller's gastro house close to the canal (canalside drinking involves going down spiral steps). Okay for a pint but not your archetypal pub - the Seafarer's was nice enough. Snarling_Mallard - 9 Sep 2011 18:26 |
| What a great place! - Attentive and friendly staff - Great relaxed atmosphere - Accommodating chef We will definitely be making this a regular choice! ledonya - 14 Feb 2011 13:48 |
| Shockingly pricey. Food approaching serious gastropub prices (the Bull and Last is cheaper) but with none of the quality. A ploughmans sandwich at over £6 came with bread toasted on the outside but soggy on the inside, tasteless cheddar, big slices of gherkin and some packet lettuce. Fish and chips looked quite nice but the chips were soggy and the fish undercooked. Maybe the usual chef was off? Beer is similarly expensive and disappointing. If you want a pub with some decent food, head to the nearby Metrolpolitan or Skiddaw (currrently being refurbished) - neither what I would call cheap but far better value for money. If cocktails and table service is your thing and you have deep pockets then you may enjoy it, if you're after a pub then go elsewhere. Nice garden by the canal in the summer though. kilburndrinker - 23 Nov 2010 19:48 |
| Went to this pub to have a beer. It's a cold damp October evening. It's freezing outside. The front door to this pub was open. Inside the pub was very draughty., cold and uninviting. The bar maid was more interested in chatting to existing customers. Bye bye. I left the pub in a huff mycetes - 13 Oct 2010 18:39 |
