The hoop and grapes has so much potential but is let down badly by the bored, surly bar staff and dirty interior. It's got to be the managers fault, aren't shepherd neame pubs usually quite nice?!

I'm afraid that's not the case mr stokes, you can't just dismiss all your critics as aliases of one malcontent. I suspect you've realized already that you're out of you're depth: what we all need is a frank apology from yourself for dissing a 74 year old man that only wants to earn a crust and have a craic with the general public, and while you're at it maybe an explanation as to why you feel the need to pass comment on pubs in the immediate vicinity of your business??

It is what it is, a tottenham high road pub, although god knows there's few enough of those these days. Guvnor is a sound bloke that handles a match day crowd with admirable northern Irish stoicism. Ok, the gilpins might be (slightly) cheaper but this is the place to be for a pre and/or post match pint...

perhaps if the guvnor of this joint spent less of his hours as some kind of self appointed local pub critic and more time in his own gaff it might improve somewhat. As it is, there are MANY superior drinking establishments in the immediate area for you to spend your hard earned in. Unless, apparently, it's 'nosebag' that you're after, but I wouldn't know anything about that.
