The Lord Stanley, Camden

Bring The Lord Stanley Back as a Pub!!! That's the name odf the 40 strong group I have just joined.

Reading the previous comments is interesting because it tells a true story. However, the pub of previous comments has been eroded by new management and staff - for example you can't chat to the bar staff perched on a bar stool any more as the bar stool Gestapo have locked them all in the dungeon (alright Cellar OK)!!!

The Bar staff with one exception have all either resigned, been fired or are working in sister establishments.

The ambient local feel has gone too. You have to respect business decisions designed to increase turnover, however it will be interesting to see how the Stanley survives as a restaurant. The middle class coke heads still have the money to splash on the over-priced plain food but what will happen if, as expected, the economy takes a downturn in 2008?

My rating for this pub is zero based on the fact that I no longer consider it to be a pub. If I had reviewed it a year ago I would have given it an eight.

Regards,

Lord Stanley
