The Lord Stanley, Camden

At last the Lord Stanley has done something to get rid of those truly dreadful people at the bar who made the place look like some kind of 'local' pub instead of a dinery.

We should soon be able to get easy service from the bar area now that there is so much space. I reckon waiting time could get down to less than 10 minutes once the new staff are fully trained. Even better...we could have waitered service at our tables and negate the need to actually shift ourselves out of our trough benches to get watered!

I strongly support the new management in everything they are trying to do. It's about time nice people with manners (OK some of us are abit whinny and squawky!) had somewhere of their own to go to. Despite it being trendy Camden, it really is King's Cross and a tad rough so it's a pleasure to have a safe haven for proper people.

I am also appalled at the previous comment that states the diners are coke heads...I certainly only drink coke when I'm driving.

One suggestion for improvement though...if they put tables alongside the bar area then the last dregs of 'regulars' would not be able to stand at the bar. There would be more covers and they would then have to provide watered service only! They might as well as they already have the little silver trays for giving the bill in a tip-inducing way

I rate this pub as a 9/10!!!
