USED to be a great pub. Til the staff got too far up their own jacksy's, the chef had a misguided dream that he was chefing in a michelin star restaurant (with michelin prices) so wont serve chips on their own, and word got round that its fine to take little Johnny and his baby sister in arms and let them run riot because its a sunday. Note to parents - if you're going to take your kids then at least keep them occupied - its not a creche. Gone are the days when parents used to take their kids home when they played havoc.. or maybe i was just brought up well. Anyway, shame its turned into a kids club. If you're going to go for sunday lunch - aim for after 4 when the kids club is over. Otherwise you may get run over by a toy tractor and then be shouted at by mum and dad for ruining little johnys game, just when he was looking and sounding so cute.....NOT!!

Sorry to hear about your bike, che, but I do think it's reasonable for the pub to refuse to let you bring your bike in

Like it generally, in spite of it being a bit bike unfriendly. Was refused permission to bring a bike inside last year, and it was nicked :( Staff very helpful though, and got straight on the blower to the police and the bicycle patrol.

Anyway. Good food. Good drink. Good atmosphere. Good beer garden. Too expensive.

Peanut73 (plus others) are correct - too many uncontrolled children. I've had kids under my table as I've tried to eat, while their oblivious parents natter away on the other side of the pub.

I've also seen more than one person nearly have an accident attempting to negotiate the groups of kids who sit unattended on the step in the middle of the pub. If one of the darlings got hurt in the process, their daddies QC would shut this place quicker than you could say Health and Safety.

I guess that chap stokenewingtonsurfclub was too busy thinking about his epilepsy inducing myspace page to notice this.

Ultimately, to get the best out of this place avoid weekends and stick to weekday evenings.

Yes to chips!

No to selfish "Stokey" parents who want to get drunk with their mates while neglecting their obviously bored kids.
