| I have to say I'm new in the area and after reading these reviews I was a bit apprehensive about coming here. HOW WRONG COULD'VE I BEEN! This pub is fantastic. Great location overlooking the river Lee, beautiful, big country pub with a big stone fire place and great food at good prices. what more could u ask for? Tottenham Hale can be a bit uninspiring and this pub is a great respite from it all. If u r unsure, just try it for yourself. U won't be disappointed. navi69 - 25 Jan 2012 14:03 |
| What a complete disappointment ! We used to come here all the time for food and since the changeover it's gone downhill . We came after work to eat what we thought was going to be a nice meal and bottle of wine -but sadly the meals we ordered the seabass came out burnt and the fish pie which was meant to be in a creamy sauce was in what looked Like pond water the inattentive waitress/ bar staff came over we asked for the meals to be changed to scampish and chips with no mushy peas (allergy) and steak pie ,I stressed 3 times about the peas when it eventually came out guess what it had peas on it ! So disappointed 2 meals ruined by inexperienced and couldn't care less. Attitude staff Will not be eating there again ! Shaketiger - 8 Sep 2011 21:03 |
| Sadly I agre with lots of the other posts. It's a great location; nice ambience; the food is usually good and the setting a good one. All consistently let down by the staff - and that's over many years. I went there this week with my sister and yet again, hardly any staff on duty and of those that appeared, they were slow, disorganised and seemingly unable to bring themselves to apologies for the lengthy delays at the bar. The manager seemed to believe it was beneath her to help at the bar even though there were loads of people waiting, which made it doubly annoying. Such a shame because we try not to give up on the place ... sadly the staff keep on falling to the level of our expectations. JoannaB - 21 Jul 2011 18:25 |
| This could be a great pub, its a lovely location and I love that its a "proper" pub with beams and stuff, though it could probably do with a bit of a spruce up. I've been here twice recently and both times have been very dissappointed with the food which has been pratically inedible, obviously microwaved (even the cheesy garlic bread!?) and overpriced. Also I have to agree with previous comments - although the staff are friendly and helpful, they seem to know nothing about their products and are very slow and unaware of people waiting to be served. p349 - 12 Jul 2011 09:58 |
| It would be a nice pub but for the lack of competent bar staff. Mind you any bar staff would be an improvement. The norm is that you go to the bar to order, but stand waiting 10 minutes because there are no bar staff and with no-one checking to see if anyone's waiting to be served. I once went in when there was a special offer being advertised on the Rioja. A customer asked the barmaid for a bottle of Rioja and she looked straight through him. He had to explain it was red wine and it was on special offer. Pride, Doombar and IPA were the beers on offer when I was in there last week. It wouldn't take a lot to turn this into a really nice pub, just a bit of staff training ....oh yes and some staff. kevins1966 - 2 Dec 2010 11:38 |
