| Actually bought a pint here today - it has been refurbed and doesn't have as much of a dour feel to it as it used to. Still only GK offerings - IPA, Abbot, Speckled Hen. The Speckled Hen was well kept and drinkable though it's still only somewhere to wait for a train. Snarling_Mallard - 25 Nov 2011 18:01 |
| Regarding the meal i recently had at the assemley house in Kentish Town, i would think twice about having your christmas celebrations there. I recently had a meal there with my family and it was awful, in fact it was an absolute insult. It must have been the worst roast dinner ive had in my whole life. Half of the food was burnt, the other half was undercooked, and there was not enough to feed a 'pigeon'. The service was terrible with the one girl serving who seemed more interested in her phone than attending to customers. I would never ever go there again, which is a shame, as about 3-4 months ago when it was under a different management it was alot better. I rate the food/service 0 out of 10 which is a shame as it is such a lovely pub with nice intersting decor. sherbert_shirley - 12 Sep 2011 22:38 |
| What a transformation! As a previous poster said this place has been closed for about 6 weeks for refurbishment. On first visit back I can't believe the improvement. First off I have to say that a lot of the previous posts about this place were valid! While I felt it always had potential it was just let down in the slightly grubby look and surly Euro staff that would rather spend time texting than serving. It's location is great, sitting neatly between the HMV Forum and Kentish Town tube. This was a bit an issue the other day when the place was rammed at 6pm due a gig being on. Still for the most part it makes for a great pub now. Big, bright and sunny during the day and a nice atmosphere during the evening. I also have to say that while this is predominantly a lager pub (Kirin, Budvar, and Estrella amongst more standards) I think the new owners have made an effort with the ale as there are still the IPA faire they have two guest ales on. Still if anyone was in a proper beer mood 'The Southampton Arms' is just up the road and that is the finest ale pub in London IMO. ;-) So in summary - congratulations to the new owners. The new staff are great and attentive (I got asked twice if I was being served when I was) The food was still pretty standard pub munch but we enjoyed it and the quality was very good. The new loo's are a definate improvement. Kentish town has scored with this one. Redastaire - 16 Jun 2011 17:39 |
| Blinds down and sign on the door reads. "Closed for 6 weeks for refurbishment, see you in June." Hal90.00 - 16 Apr 2011 18:29 |
| Shame about only Greene King beers on but worth a visit for the pub interior. Staff were friendly and the food looked good Huey - 21 Oct 2010 12:34 |
