The Spurstowe Arms, Hackney

had a bite to eat here but not again until the staff get replaced. Rude miserable people and music so loud that you couldn't hear conversation at 2 feet. Fine for a club but whilst eating? On the subject of food - undercooked lentils, packet beetroot, ham hock that was devoid of mositure and all delivered late with a grimace that seemed to say "you're lucky to get this!". The only reason it gets 1 out of 10 is that the steak was ok.

Sort out the attitude of the staff and get the old chef back and it will be better
