The Bunch Of Grapes, Knightsbridge
For those of you that missed the report on TV regarding the activities of the kitchen staff behind closed doors should take heed and avoid this pub like the plague.
The staff were secretely filmed skidding across the kitchen floor on frozen burger patties which were later served up to the unsuspecting clients.
Should have been closed long time ago!!!

What is missing from the Portobello?? Good Food.. the food is really bad, out of the freezer and onto the plate. the building is nice and well maintained and the beers are good, especially the Mild to which i am partial. This pub could be so much more. It cries out for a carvery or some good solid pub grub.

What used to be one of the best pubs in Worcester with great Marstons ales, a great atmosphere and colourful characters is now nothing more than a distant memory. Down market all the way. Considering the glorious past it's a very sad thing to say the least!

Used to go there as a kid. Visited several times last summer (the little we had) and had a few pints. Friendly landlord and landlady, family pub, good atmosphere and half decent food at the right price!

Nice pub, they could do so much more with it and if you look in the snug at the back it is in need of a good clean. Beers are good especially the Dunkel (Brown) Austrian.
Kitchen is very poor unless you want to eat something very basic. It is a shame, could be such a great place to eat and drink!

The Hoop and Toy, South Kensington
I went to the pub last weekend and ordered two Sunday roast dinners at a cost of over �20. The gravy was weak, the roast potatoes, vegetables and Yorkshire puddings were frozen. Awful meal and would advise against anyone eating at this pub. Beer was OK, but non of the staff except for one young lad could speak any English and two of the staff complained it was their first day :(((
