The Candlestick, West End

After pre-booking this venue for a 65th birthday menu with family,
8 Adults 7 children, we were asked for a rough idea of what we would like to order on the day, but when we turned up, firstly we were pointed generally (and abruptly) in the rough direction of our tables, and secondly, told "you have pre ordered, you don't need to see a menu".
After being gobsmacked at the attitude of what I am lead to believe is one of the joint owners, when the meal turned up, it was 'slightly less than warm'.
At no point did anyone come over to ask if we would like more drinks, so we had to go up through the meal for top ups. It's just as well when they collected the plates they didn't as the normal question of "How was your meal" as I would have answered with something less than pleasing. - On the upside, the play area is amazing, and the drink prices were reasonable. - I would recommend this pub for a drink on a warm afternoon in summer with the kids, but please don't eat there!
