| Visited this pub back in July, and have had a mental note to post a comment on a site like this for some time. Absolutely the worst customer service i've ever witnessed. There were two staff - one was absolutely fine - but the other was blank, dismissive (no please / thanks etc. - just said the figure for how much the drinks came to and waved her hand under your nose like you were some kind of scum that had just rolled in off the street) and then (my friend and i were sat at the bar) actually pushed past to put some glasses on the bar, one of them fell over and spilt onto my mate's trousers, i said excuse me and she just looked as if she couldn't care less, said sorry incredibly insincerely and then walked off. Seemed to be quite pally with one or two people in their who must've been regulars. Dreadful, dreadful pub. And i don't often hate something so much i'm inclined to post a review about it. pl326 - 2 Oct 2008 17:24 |
| Visited many times, most recently last week - beer still good which makes up somewhat for the very mediocre and expensive food. The staff are a waste of time and prefer to natter than to serve customers. BobOs - 13 Aug 2008 00:10 |
| Would King of Beer be the landlord of this establishment? Surely he is the only person deluded enough to believe "sound traditonal food offering", "friendly and helpful staff" You have got to be kidding. If you want to wait 40 minutes for 2 fish and chips, with staff who don't seem to have a clue who is waiting.All attempts to catch the waiter's eye failed This is the worst kind of pub, knows it will still be busy thanks to tourists, so doesn't care what kind of service you get.

| a bloody good little pub, given there must have been a huge tempation to tart it up for the tourists. the irish fellow behind the bar is one of the friendliest blokes in london and they also sell a nice pint of numbers. magic_numbers - 13 Jul 2007 16:10 |
| As a northener (albeit not a monkey), my first impressions of this place were not too bad - the beer was in good shape and, as touched on in another comment, it's just off the main hustle and bustle of Leicester Square. Will bear it in mind for the next time I'm in the area. MINTYBOOM - 10 Jul 2007 12:17 |
