| It's like the Tardis, this place. Walked past it so many times and never walked in, but it's massive inside! However, that's as impressive as it gets. The minute you walk in you can sense people looking you up and down as if assessing whether or not you're worth talking to, or if indeed you're even good enough to be there. One quick look around the pub confirms earlier comments that this is full of "media types" (for want of a more abrasive description). Service was good, beer was fine, seating was... bizarre, to say the least. They seem to have lots of live music, and it's always buzzing, but it's buzzing with the kind of people who can't have a conversation about anything of substance. It's as if they're just there to be seen. Won't be going back. steve5312 - 26 Sep 2007 16:49 |
| A great pub but awful staff and way too busy... therefore you spend a very, very long time waiting to be served and never get a seat at busy times. whiskeydrum - 22 Apr 2007 19:03 |
| Used to be a good boozer, now full of media types....... dsw - 13 Mar 2007 16:47 |
| Rubbish pub. Didn’t used to be. I hadn’t been in here for a couple of years when, in need of somewhere showing the football, I noticed they had it on a small TV in the corner. The place had changed since I was last there; the designer leather sofas and wine lists have moved in. Always a bad start. There were two members of bar-staff serving two customers when I got to the bar. One of them, having served a woman, then just walked off leaving me waiting for the other member of staff to complete a big order. Once I’d been served, I started watching the game, as were a few others despite the sound being turned off in favour of non-descript ‘funky-house’ music (fair enough, it’s not a football pub, I suppose). Ten minutes after kick-off, one of the staff walked up to the TV and switched it off, with no apology or consultation with customers. Regardless of your opinions on football and sport in pubs, this is just rude. I walked out without finishing my drink. I won't return. For those so inclined, they do seem to have a good selection of continental lagers though. And it does get very busy on Friday evenings. However, don't expect character or good service in here.

| An extremely popular pub frequented by many BBC types including the odd name. Seems to get refurbished regularly. Always overflows into the street during the summer. WaitorseBoyz - 7 Dec 2006 10:09 |
