| Went here on Sunday on a suggestion from a friend and we thought it was lovely. Good value and reasonable roast and really pleasant bar staff - very rare for this area. Ended up staying all day to watch the footie and played board games and pool. Our new local! SAA - 18 Oct 2006 16:23 |
| In response to the last comment by an anonymous user, I am also a resident in the street and find the Baring to be a very welcoming place. Last night there was trouble for the first time under the new management (I cannot understand how you can say there is regular trouble?) This occured outside the Pub and was caused by Travellers who would not leave when asked to (what would you do in this instance?). This disturbance kept me awake as well but as I choose to live near a pub I do expect the odd bit of noise once in while!!!! The Landlord is one of the politest, nicest people I have met and everybody who frequents the pub likes the laidback, friendly atmosphere. The pub is getting very popular with old and young alike and has recently received a great review by the Evening Standard. I have lived by the Baring my entire life and this the best run it has ever been, you should like me and the vast majority of neighbours previlaged to have such a nice place to meet on your doorstep. gtb - 19 Jun 2006 11:37 |
| We used to be regulars at this place pre-Xmas 05. Since new management took over early 2006 we have stayed well clear. The food is very amateur-ish and unexciting, as is the decor. Since introducing big screen football, darts and cheap beer and curry nights, the pub has lost it's stylish essence and has become a bit rough with regular trouble. I am a resident in the street, and it's been sad to see this change. Last night there were 10 police cars and 2 police vans dealing with an incident in the pub which kept me awake until 2am with kids running riot in the street until 1am. A tragic shame. anonymous - 19 Jun 2006 10:11 |
| Nice enough pub, went for the quiz on Thursday night which was quite fun. Not much seating when it gets busy though. Lieven - 1 Mar 2006 13:57 |
| The 'old Baring' (pre Xmas 2005) was fantastic: a cosy, funky extention of your own living room. The food was also very good. Unfortunately the new owners seem to have stripped it of all its "baringness" and the new Baring is pretty bland and uninspiring. Maybe it is fine if you didn't know the old place, but to me it isn't worth going back to: I was heart-broken on my most recent visit. OCW - 27 Jan 2006 14:50 |
