The Anchor and Hope, Clapton

Wow. What can I say? Bought a Stella, strongbow and a pride. Stella was stomach able - just. Pride was the same, but the strongbow. . . . . Better head than the Stella, amazing for a cider. Tasted like it came from the river lea direct. 5"3 female went back to the bar to politely say it didn't taste like a cider, asked for a bottle cider and would pay the difference. The older barman first refused, then took a mouthful (not really appealing when given back the cider) then proceeded to say " there is nothing wrong with that, f off" and then went back of house when challenged if he was being serious. Well. Good luck guys, fullers should be ashamed to allow you to be tenants as you clearly can't keep good beer, you have no customer service skills, and you need to badly invest in your pub because the toilets "represent" your standard which clearly followed through the example your staff member showed that day.

Nothing short but shocking. Go there with life insurance and plently of time. First occasion the fire doors were locked. Illegal guys. 2nd occasion food was awful, 3rd occasion 5 staff working but still had to wait over 5 minutes to get served. Granted 1 was making coffee and two were dealing with customer complaints for poor food and excessive wait. You've had your chances guys. Sorry but piss up on a brewery comes to mind.

The Sun In Splendour, Notting Hill

Nice looking pub, had good range of standard lagers as well as speciality beers. food menu was good and the roast filled me up. tall bald bloke behind the bar had me laughing from the minute I walked in. only pub i've been to in the area that is a) non smoking (which was so nice - even though I smoke) and b) has a pinball machine. Haven't seen one in a pub for ages so couldn't resist putting a fiver in. will definately come back and recommend to friends. nice atmosphere, nice staff, nice range of drinks at reasonable prices (i had carling for 2.55 and my g.f vodka/coke for 2.50)
