| This pub has the potential to be very good with super space inside and good beers on offer.. most importantly, they carry Hoegaarden on draught and it's pretty damn good here. The management/staff need a shake up however as they insist on calling last orders and shutting the pub usually an hour before the times displayed on the outside signage. What's going on ? I was there on thursday 12th Feb and the staff called last orders at 10pm. 10pm ? There were still punters there to be served and everyone seemed a bit bewildered. In these times, is it smart to be turning business away ? Come on Hand&Flower, get your act together.. stick to the advertised opening times, get rid of the loud out-of-date and out-of-place music and you could be a great local pub. (FYI In case you don't know already, you could have a monopoly on late opening in the area if you just stuck to the times posted on the door!!) distinguished_barfly - 23 Feb 2009 13:30 |
| Went there for a drink just before Christmas. Large very noisy Victorian style pub - unremarkable decor. A glass of wine costs £5.50 which is over the top even by London standards. Not very restful and not really recommended if you want a quiet drink as it is hard to hear yourself speak. honeygirl - 23 Jan 2009 10:57 |
| Quite busy when I visited with painfully slow service. If you don't mind waiting 10+ minutes to buy an expensive pint it's worth a visit. I wonder why they don't employ more bar staff? ArthurLyman - 18 Dec 2007 11:54 |
| Went there for Sunday lunch with a couple of friends two weeks ago, and to say we were disappointed would be an understatement. £9.00 for 3 small slices of beef, a handful of sliced potatoes and a few overcooked carrots!! You get more in a Birds Eye microwave meal. It didn't taste too bad though which is something, however, the girl who served us was most unpleasant - snapping in a very sarcastic way at an 80 year old man who is just recovering from cancer is just not on. OK, she wasn't to know he had been so ill, but you just shouldn't treat ANY customer like that. We decided to stay for dessert and all chose the nicely named fresh fruit and cream meringue explosion. The fresh fruit was two slices of a strawberry and 4 - yes, FOUR blueberries. A plate full of cream and a bit of meringue thrown in. Yes, Disappointing doesn't even begin to cover this place!!

| Quite busy and loud - full of people shouting at each other when they could have sat down and talked... Smartened up a bit since my last visit a few years ago, but nothing special. rpadam - 1 Jun 2007 23:58 |
