| This pub stays open later than the nearby pubs. The idea of extended opening hours was to provide people with a more relaxed experience and end the sordid scenes of people guzzling booze at closing time, being evicted en massse, then throwing up and fighting. At 11:30pm when The Globe across the road is closed and this place is still busy it all seems quite relaxed. Just wait until the bell rings. It is a cue not just to buy one for the road but for the staff to start getting rude and obnoxious. One minute you're a customer, next you are something very unpleasant and you are treated with the grossest discourtesy. The aim is to clear the bar area and you are invited to finish your drink "downstairs" at the entrance, but the manner of the invitation is aggresive and insulting. It doesn't matter if you are a regular customer. Doesn't matter if you have one swallow left before making your way home quietly with your book/newspaper/iphone ... you will be treated like scum. Don't bother trying to reason. The staff doing this couldn't give a damn, they want you OUT AT ONCE and that's all there is to it. Definitely not a place to go if you like to be treated with respect. Of all the bars I have patronised this establishment takes the biscuit for the most gratuitous bad manners on the part of staff. Wetherspoon's management needs to send a mystery shopper here around closing time to feel the vibe. It may be "efficient" but offending customers so that they avoid the place is not effective or good business. mrbadger - 25 Jun 2009 01:37 |
| Okay as it is so easy for the Tube, cheap and good for finding seats on a Friday night.. EnglishGent - 27 Apr 2009 11:16 |
| Small frontage but large and cavernous inside like most Wetherspoons. My experience is that they generally have a good selection of beers in this one and this was the case on my recent visit during the festival. I managed to find a couple that I'd not had before including the smoked beer. Plenty of tables so you can usually find somewhere to sit. Service OK but you do get the impression they don't really want to be there. Millay - 25 Apr 2009 14:41 |
| Had a couple of drinks here today and reportedly the Guiness in particular was very well kept. Quite prompt bar service although a bit reticent. Impressive interior with stately columns, heraldic / borough arms on the ceiling etc well maintained. Is rather grand and given its proportions and appearance one might think it would be better suited to use as a club or restaurant with dancing. This being based also on observing at least two pairs of fairly seriously contorted necking couples. _grobag_ - 8 Apr 2009 01:58 |
| I paid a visit to this establishment for a lunchtime drink with colleagues last Friday, and can safely say it will be my last. The beers on offer (in addition to the usual suspects) were something called Abstinence (3% - is this a joke?), something from the dreadful Brentwood Brewery and Irish Whiskey Ale. I plumped for a pint of the latter, which had that appley taste which suggests it wasn't ready to be served. My friend decided his best bet was a cup of coffee - which was quite good. The only attraction of Wetherspoons pubs is their prices, and the fact that occasionally you can get a decent beer. But the last few experiences I've had of this place lead me to conclude that for real ale drinkers, it's a complete waste of time. Coupled with the obnoxious attitude of several of the staff, and this becomes one to avoid. holbornboy - 18 Feb 2009 12:22 |
