| Absolutely fantastic place for a few jars. I've been drinking in here for 4 years now and got to know all the regulars. Although they may seem rough around the edges they're a lovely bunch. Some of them look like sitcom characters. Think Last of the Summer Wine - Compo, Clegg and Foggy. Friendly barstaff, prices not too expensive, late beers on a Friday and Saturday... what more could you want in a local?! thebaldcaptain - 15 May 2008 18:27 |
| Bit of a tired looking pub and I decided only to stay for a quick half. Seems fairly well run with efficient staff and what appeared to be the guv’nor keeping an eye on things. Millay - 11 May 2008 19:59 |
| I came in for a drink after work with my housemate, we were both in suits and began to be heckled almost immediatly. "Go back to Borehamwood!!" They cried. "This is ColliersWood!" In the summer all tatoo'd up pikeys sit out front with their track suited, pot bellied infants tottering about in the gutter. It needs to go for the sake of the neighbourhood...

| I don't know which Standard all the other reviewers have been but it's certainly not this one! It's not "grotty", there's no "skinhead" locals sitting outside at all times, the guy at the bar is not "weird" (none of the staff are!), the patrons are not "unwelcoming" and it's not unpleasant. Since the re-fit it's much better, granted, but it wasn't as bad as everybody makes it out to be. I've been going there for ten years now and have never experienced anything like the other reviewers described. Basically yes, there are other pubs near the tube station like The Tup and Gj's and they're fine if you want to pay through the nose and shout on the top of your voice over the Dj's and the taped music played at ludicrous volume. The Royal Standard is what you might call "an old man pub", it's not hip & trendy, they do not do food and kids are banned (hurray!) but if you want to have a quiet pint and a chat or watch a game or a race on the various tv's hanging on the walls, it's perfect. The huge garden has a covered area with plenty of seats, a telly and heaters for smokers as well. And by the by I'm female and go there with female friends. minnakelland - 28 Sep 2007 13:50 |
| Seems mostly Polish now. This is a great improvemnet on what it was. Still a grotty pub, but the clientele aren't nearly as bad as before. Loki - 2 Aug 2007 15:56 |
