| As one of the locals i feel like you are hating on my 'INTIMIDATING GROUP', and i have seen various comments about how you have given it a second chance and questioned why you did. If you think so low of a place i do not see why you would be interested in returning, further to this i do not understand why there is so much hate for the running horses. I feel like the great qualities of the pub have been hidden in the shadows, the pub offers; brilliant food, great activities, friendly locals, a brilliant football team and most of all great hospitality with plenty of fun and laughs. I can not stress how much i disagree with some of the comments, yeah you might prefer other places but the pub is made out to be a place that it is far from. People have called it a 'dump' the pub is cleaned every day throughout the day and is never in a bad condition. I have been to many places were the standards go alot lower than the runners. Lastly i want to make my opinion clear of the staff. These guys are; bubbly, friendly and most of all prompt with their services, with a reccession as such everyone is doing there best. The smoking 'picture' got to me the most many pubs have closed doors and smoke inside so im with 'water' with everything he says feel free to reply but only do so if you have experienced problems which would never happen in another pub. stopcomplaining - 10 Feb 2012 14:44 |
| Can i say i have only been in the running horses once so i cant really comment on it in depth. But you imply you have been in there numerous times. Why when you say that smoking must be going on with the managments consent. you obviousley had never experienced it before. Personally i would have made a point of speaking to the managment if not that evening the following day. Why dont you contact them today and voice your valid concerns. water - 7 Feb 2012 14:03 |
| Given how quickly "water" responded to my original posting, I do perhaps wonder if he/she was one of the delightful locals who graced this "fine" pub on Sunday evening. We have no doubt the management are well aware of the smoking activities and no doubt either it has been going on for some time, so really what was the point of informing them? The barmaid herself could have kindly asked them to stop. She just seemed bewildered we were actually complaining about it. I'll say again - smoking is ILLEGAL inside public places. So yes we will enjoy going to other pubs further afield. Pubs that treat their customers with respect and follow English Law. djfunnyboi79 - 7 Feb 2012 13:45 |
| The previous post says i have graced this pub for the last time which implies you have been in quite a few times so why did you not ask to speak to the Managment regarding the smoking incident? Then all of a sudden this pub has become a dump? Maybe the news shopper will be intrested in your smoking story. I hope your your flat sells quickley and that you get to enjoy many smokeless nights in the Dial Arch. Lets hope no one drops a peanut on the floor while your there prompting you to make a call to the Environmental Health department. water - 6 Feb 2012 15:49 |
| Sunday 5th February; me and my partner have graced this pub for the last time, despite giving it MANY chances. What a dump! Last straw came when we noticed one guy openly smoking at the bar on this date around 7pm with not a word said to him...then around an hour later, 3 local people all started smoking at the table. Again not a word said. This is actually illegal. What a joke! We actually approached the group of 3 and asked what they thought they were doing to which they replied..."We're not smoking"!!!!! Lol! So we thought let's go. On leaving the pub the actual exit was locked, prompting the barmaid to let us out. We said to her that we had noticed 4 people smoking at the bar. She didn't seem at all bothered, in fact actually saying to us that she felt threatened. We have photographic evidence to prove this smoking took place and will use it. We certainly won't be back. We plan to move from this area soon and have our flat on the market. It can't come soon enough. The Dial Arch in Woolwich is a classy pub and worth travelling a few stations to, even on a snowy evening like this. Stay clear of this dive. djfunnyboi79 - 5 Feb 2012 22:03 |
