| I was begining to loose the plot. All I wanted was a pint of ale. A drinkable pint of ale. On a Saturday afternoon, in the West End. Not an impossible task one would think. This pub was my fifth attempt at same. First thing I noticed was a sparkling array of hand-pumps with a good variety of beers advertised thereon. "oh good" I thought. The second thing I noticed was that all the handpumps had empty half-pint glasses stuck on the top of them. My heart sank. No real ales available at 2;30-ish on what must be one of the busiest days of the week. Words like "piss-up" and "brewery" sprung to mind. The worst of it was, the manager thought it was funny that he had no ales. He couldn't stop laughing! Get e out of here... foghorn - 23 Nov 2008 12:01 |
| A lovely little haven tucked just off the busy thoroughfare which runs between Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square. Stumbled upon it purely by chance. From my own experience I don`t see how anyone could find fault with this beautiful place. A crystal clear pint of Butcombe pulled by a quirky barmaid with real ale knowledge. Pie and a pint for a fiver. Say no more. Shame I didn`t have longer to spend here. Could do with a boozer like this back home.Some London pubs aren`t bad after all. darkandsmooth - 10 Nov 2008 21:06 |
| 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. Northen Money right about the beer though anonymous - 15 Jul 2007 22:44 |
