| I use this pub regularly. The reasons are very clear to me. The food is good and not expensive. The drink is good but not exceptional. However, at the moment no one else has caught on to this gem, and so there's always space, it quiet, the staff are crilliant and it's a very enjoyable place to have lunch. byrdman - 14 Jul 2009 14:31 |
| I work nearby and only realised today that this place had re-opened so gave it a go. Found it quite welcoming. The service was quick and efficient. There were two ales on, Youngs ordinary and a Pale ale from the Purity Brewing Co. in Warwickshire which was excellent and good to see something other than Pride, Bombardier or Adnams in a London pub. Had a nice fish finger sandwich with chips and the price of £4.50 is not bad for a City pub. I noticed they do 'Movie nights' with free popcorn once a week, a new one on me for sure. This is a good comfortable pub and unusually for the City it wasn't crowded although I visited on a wednesday lunchtime so it may get busier in the evenings I guess. Grailhunter - 8 Jul 2009 15:45 |
| I've just got back from the Stonehorse and was looking at the reviews here- and I must say two things about them. First, Most of the ratings and reviews are when it was a Puzzle pub and the one time I did go there it was terrible - thus the low ratings and closure. The second thing is - it hasn't been open very long and I think you can forgive them - and in hotter summer months being the coldest pub :) must be a virtue? But I think thats nonsense as it was completely lovely today and the other 2 times i've been. SO why the review? first, to tell city folks like me about it and second, i had the most amazing lunch that spilled over a few hours and i want to thank them publicly for being so nice and also accomodating for my party. We had some of the most decently priced wine in the city - almost cheaper than Tesco's around the corner - and tucked into some good fairly priced food - that they assure me [jokingly im sure] is no Gordon Ramsay! With all the booths, the pool table, really good music unlike other pubs - i think we heard the Smiths and stone roses which is always appreciated - the atomosphere quirky but not too quirky to bring an informal business lunch to. And there was interesting stuffed animals, velvet curtains, sofas, a trophy case - and thats just in one corner. What im saying and i have to admit to being slightly happy after a very long lunch - the this place is a god send for the city and one that you can take your cool shoreditch friends as well as your boss to without blinking an eye. I didn't catch the managers name - but she really looked after us and made sure - even when it got busy at 5 - that we were happy. So a big thank you to Stone Horse and we'll be seeing you soon. Fantastic new place - well worth a visit and a drink. michael_cross - 29 Apr 2009 21:00 |
| I agree with fysh on many fronts but it has to be said that the SHPC is probably one of the coldest pubds in the free world. It has no radiation and relies solely on portable heaters which quite frankly arent up to the job of heating a pub of that size. The beers are fine, the cider (my personal favourite) is great but the staff are all very inexperienced which leads to delays that are necessary in a pub that isnt that busy. All in all not bad but i wouldnt recommend going there during this cold snap Quiz night to be reviewed when it starts ont he 19th of Jan '09. nickmax1 - 6 Jan 2009 14:42 |
| the shpc has been open for a few weeks now. to be honest it's all felt a bit amateurish as they've had a fair few teething problems (all the draught pumps were off the other day for example, a couple of food orders have been wrong, and in the first week they weren't serving full pints of cider as they thought they were using oversized glasses). hopefully most of those are behind them because in general it's one of the best pubs in the city. mad decor includes a birdcage, a trophy cabinet and mis-matched sofas interspersed with nice quiet booths and plenty of room (it's a big pub). also has a pool table and table football (no sport on TV though). wouldn't really recommend it to an ale lover, food ranges from disappointing (sandwiches scantily filled) to superb (chicken and chorizo pasta was perfect). main selling point is the atmosphere and excellent staff and management. has a feel of a place that you and your mates would try to open without really knowing how to, and for that reason alone i love it. and not just because i got very drunk at their excellent opening party! now shpc...what about a pub quiz one weekday...? fysh - 21 Dec 2008 15:14 |
