| Was here on Sunday. Wandle and Fortyniner both great, but the food is insanely priced - £13.50 for a couple of scraps of fish and some mash. It was well cooked and all, but I need a lot more on my plate to justify paying that much. Wife had a decentish slab of goat's cheese type tart thingy for a tenner but it only came with a pile of leaves. Nice friendly atmosphere though and can't fault the service. Lots of kids running around, so maybe one to avoid on Sundays if that's not your bag. 5/10 for the tiny portions! Pin - 21 Sep 2011 10:45 |
| the worst pub for food in the n1 area, absolutely shocking again, why my friends want to go and meet here i dont know ! foodielondon - 19 Sep 2011 20:05 |
| I'd seen this pub many times before when travelling past on the bus but had never been in. I finally decided to pay it a visit at the weekend. The pub's best feature is its bowed front windows, along with a number of other original (19th century) structural and decorative details inside. The pub has been gently refurbished to give a rough-around-the-edges cafe/bar feel (food and hot drinks are served along with alcoholic drinks). The attractive bar is loaded with local food items (cakes and biscuits, also jars of jam if I recall). Only two hand-pump ales were on offer. These were Sambrook's Wandle and Ringwood Brewery's Fortyniner. Both were excellent, although very expensive at £3.55 per pint. Overall I thought the place had quite a nice, relaxing atmosphere. beermann - 6 Sep 2011 18:29 |
| went to the alma last night, and wasnt very impressed, being new to the area i am checking out all the local pubs and it is fair to say that the decor could do with updating as well as the staff's attitude towards customers. The menu looked bleak and not very seasonal so i decided to go the three crowns in stoke newington. Shall not be returning to this grotty old pub anytime soon.

| Not impressed. The barman was very unfriendly, bordering on hostile. The 'beer and cider festival' had a decent selection, but the kegs were allowed to become warm in the sunshine. The Sunday lunch was alright, but outragously expensive for £14.50. I expect more than two potatoes for £14.50. Not great, wouldn't bother. patrickjsm - 30 May 2011 13:44 |
