| Dam !, Should have had a quick look at B.I.T.E. before embarking on my mini Charing X crawl as I decided to miss out the GK dispensing Silver Cross in favor of the Old Shades next door on the premise that it was bound to have better beer. So am unable to give an honest rating of the Cross against the Lord Moon But for the Lord Moon I found it one of the better Wetherspoons establishments. 12 handpumps dispensing something different to the usual ‘spoons stable beers, including several of the guest Xmas ales. The couple I tried were perfectly fine and also couldn’t fault the service on this rainy December evening. But it’s still a ‘spoons and therefore comes equipped with the ubiquitous soaks these establishments attract and this one was in residence in the door way sheltering from the rain and seemed to think that it was his duty to inform everyone entering and leaving that it was summer in Australia. A piece of information that I do not think I would have survived the rest of the evening without. Gann - 21 Dec 2009 12:48 |
| I also wholeheartedly agree with Fritz. Judging from some reviews below, you might think the most important factor is whether this ‘spoons offers chips or not – or which brand of bar snacks are supplied. If this website was named ‘Chips in the Evening’ or ‘Crisps in the Evening’, I could see the relevance - but it isn’t and I can’t. People, we’re talking about oven chips, microwaved and tasting like cardboard. If you go to a pub to find them and your evening is ruined by their unavailability, you’re looking in the wrong place and for the wrong reason. When it comes to the Silver Cross, we are talking seriously bad and for very relevant reasons. It has its alleged fans, whose IDs are often created, leave a single ultra-positive review of the SC and then seemingly disappear off the face of the earth. Bearing in mind that a pub’s overall rating is an average of all reviews; it shouldn’t take anyone too long to think of a reason why this might be happening. However, the Silver Cross still has the bottom rating of those pubs in the area and it is bottom by a long way, which indicates something. If you believe that the Moon is a bad pub, please try the Silver Cross and then give an honest rating for both. Alex_Bradford - 29 Sep 2009 16:15 |
| not been in for a while, but whenever I've had the call to stop in for a swift one or two after work I've always found the service okay compared with some other spoons I've been in, always got a good range of ales on, and is usually quite busy due to it's central location, and as the last review indicates most people find it a much better choice the the SC over the road vinnnie - 28 Sep 2009 12:06 |
| I agree with Fritz. The new manager has vastly improved things. I have posted several times about the slowness of service but that has now changed. The service is now as quick as you could reasonably expect for a busy pub with the staff usually eager to serve (even the laziest one appears to have pulled her socks up slightly) and I believe that the majority of this is down to Mark. There are also a couple of new duty managers, Agnes and Kevin, who appear to be cracking the whip and keeping the others in control. I no longer expect 15 minute waits like I used to (but if I get nostalgic I can go across the road to the Silver Cross where you are almost guaranteed to only get served once every hour and charged 50% more for the priviledge) Brainiac21 - 28 Sep 2009 11:51 |
| You may be aware of my previous posts. They feature below. I am become a name, it seems. As a seasoned drinker, I still "rate" this pub's selections of Real Ales, as the youth would say, but sure as hell not spell. The new boss man, I believe called Mark, is excellent. He is a throw back to the days of the departed and much missed Ashley. Yes, there a are problems, but spotting whose next to abuse his liver in this dim hive of desparados ain't no cake walk. Yes, the regular bogs are below ground and the headroom questionable, but these are barstaff not miners. Yes, the food is sometimes under heated but the microwave is not a Miele. Yes it's full of civil servants but they work close by and can't afford the other places. Yes there are many haltingly tongued tourists but it's central London and English is not their first language. What are these piffling complaints? Who are these complainants? Where are their lives? Where is teheir humanity? If only they'd have read Solzhenitsyn! Then there there would be no cause for such petty bitching. FritzBlitzkrieg - 22 Sep 2009 15:24 |
