| Things may have improved since the other reviews were written, but I still wish I had seen them before having lunch in this pub. My wife and I were greeted cheerfully by a smart waitress, but she would not let us take a 4-seat table although there was only one other table occupied (at 12:55). By the time we left the tables still weren't fully occupied. I asked for draft beer and was offered Fosters, Stella or Carlsberg. I had to drag out of her the fact that they also had London Pride. Only discovered they served Leffe after a visit to the toilet. My wife's tea was a cup of hot water in a thick mug - already too cool to make good tea. We waited at least 20 minutes for our food, and then my wife's wedges were forgotten. They arrived after she had finished the rest of her dinner, so we rejected them and asked for a dessert instead. The toffee pudding and custard was served cold; is this normal? We expected it to be hot. My fish, chips and peas was OK but not of the quality that would make them "world famous" as advertised on the outside of the pub. This pub is in a prime position and is likely to be used by many foreign visitors - how embarrassing! There are plenty of other eating places around, so how does it survive?

| I thought that the bar I went into a few years back in Port Moresby (Papua New Guinea) was without equal in terms of horror until I entered this monstrosity. Track-suited, medallion wearing thuggery monopolised the bar area, tourists with bulky bags blocked the floor space, a seedy looking man giggled and sang to himself and did his best to ruin the conversation of an innocent-looking family seated nearby and a gaggle of stressed-out sales reps in cheap suits were having a tequila slammer session nearby and there was this constant waft of marijuana (or so I thought) coming from the kitchens. Dreadful....dreadful beyond words adamlebon - 28 Dec 2009 18:48 |
| In an area full of crap pubs, this is one of the worst... the pits! johnnypaleale - 23 Nov 2009 16:19 |
| Do you know what really upsets me? That this place can get away with saying "our world famous fish and chips". This kind of place is precisely why the UK has got such a bad reputation for food. The tourists think that this is the normal london pub but please avoid this place and go for something else. This is a hell hole beyond comprehension. You might be able to score some crack in the rebeccas if your lucky. Didi - 17 Nov 2009 13:52 |
| This is such an easy pub to find. Just exit Victoria Station, take a deep breath and head towards the stinking toilet smell. If you haven't passed out by the time you enter the bar area, you deserve everything that you get ............. peterwarlock - 7 Oct 2009 11:58 |
