| I needed a pub in the Pimlico locale the other day, and immediately the Morpeth Arms came to mind as somewhere that I had visited many moons ago, but had been reliable in respect of beer quality, character and service. I did read the recent reviews on BITE beforehand which didn't bode well, but nevertheless due to the sheer convenience (a quick drink prior to attending a swanky dinner do at the Tate Britain), and the write-ups of the other boozers in the nearby vicinity being even worse, I decided to soldier on. I have to say that what I found wasn't startlingly good, but not stultifyingly bad either. Yes, on balance I found the Morpeth to be, well, okay. Average. Acceptable. Uninspiring. The pub retained its interior and exterior character, and the beer variety was good - the usual Young's plus various extras thanks to the latest contracts brokered by the pub co. The Deuchars I had was in reasonable condition, if a little short in measure, but that in itself is - alas - hardly remarkable in London nowadays. Service was lacking; it was a busy night but waiting almost 10 minutes when there are 4 people on was a little beyond legitimate expectation. But when it came it was with a smile and - sorry - but I couldn't fault the barmaid on the looks front either! This was a short drop-in so I couldn't really comment on the quality of the present management too deeply, but it seemed like many other pubs in the capital (well, those that remain open anyway) - impersonal, but passable. That said, my memories of the place from years back suggested better and so perhaps it has lost some magic......... TWG - 10 Mar 2009 16:31 |
| What have the nearby Morpeth, Royal Oak, Buck, the Clock House (Peckham), and the Dulwich Woodhouse got in common (apart from being once five of my favourite pubs in London). I think the current reviews say it all..... baggydave - 5 Jan 2009 20:51 |
| As bog standard as a London pub can be and utterly wasteful of the prime location just along the river shore from Tate Britain. Listless and uninteresting - an injection of enthusiasm is needed badly to convert this into what could be a great boozer. BoehmBawerk - 29 Dec 2008 13:29 |
| This was, until fairly recently, one of the best Young's houses north of the river. Then they went and fucked it up with a poxy refurb ( high tables etc) and a Bimbo manageress. Where DO they find em'? Im guessing they're cheap and expendable, can't think of any other reason to fill their pubs up with these airheads. Maybe they're good at making tea? Popped in here Wednesday night. Shouldn't have bothered. Place was full of drunken oafs from New Scotland Yard and horrible pop-music was blarring out from something that sounded like a two-bob tranny. Beer was piss. Service was dire and surly. Off the top of my head, can't think of a single reason why I should ever waste my time and money in this dump again. One point for being open. AVOID. foghorn - 23 Nov 2008 11:30 |
