I reckon I know this clown. Sure I remember him drinking in the Winchester years ago?
Landlords, don't let this fraudster into your establishments. He's a con artist!
Typical student. Typical lefty union bod. Typical religious nut.
I'd rather run an empty pub than serve fraudster a like him
Your barred! Get out my pub. Take your business elsewhere. I'm sure you'd be welcome in the Louden

Went back to this pub for the Charity Shield game on Sunday and the bar staff again at their old tricks. Overcharged again for rounds. Happens too often here for it to be a coincidence. I can only assume the unsuspecting regulars don't check their change or aren't very good at maths.
As for my integrity being called into question by the bigoted reply below that is an outrageous slur upon my impeccable record. I shall be speaking to my lawyers. I am well known across west London. A member of the Law Society. A trade union representative. My word is bond. Well respected from here...to Reading. My religious beliefs forbid me to lie. All the charity work I do in the local community should tell you all you need to know.

Wouldn't trust a world Don said in his review. His name alone should lead you to that conclusion.
The change from a £20 has to be the oldest trick in the book! Can't believe people are still using that tactic this day in age. I challenge him to come back on here and tell everyone how many times in the past he's tried that trick. Honestly, next hell be taking his own drinks in there and filling up glasses in the toilets to save buying drinks. Totally unreliable.
The mets a good pub. Know one of the regulars there and he loves the place. Anyone who's been there will know him. Sits at the bar with a Daily Record & an Irn Bru.
Word of advice.... If he gives you a betting tip, avoid it like the plague.
Happy drinking people

Went to this pub for the England v Italy game last night. Good place to watch sport, lots of screens, good atmosphere. However the behaviour of the manager, Steve, was an absolute disgrace. Twice overcharged a friend for his drinks, only when he saw the correct price on flyers did he confront the manager about this. The manager did give a refund saying he didn't realise. Next round I went up and he tried the same trick again, overcharging. Again claiming be didn't realise the actually price. Saw him do it I others too, then claiming he knew nothing about it. Wonder how many people spent the whole night paying the higher price? And where the extra money went at the end of the night? The other bar staff seamed to know what was happening, not sure if they were doing the same. No better than a pickpocket. Also tried giving me the wrong change from a £20 note. Watch your wallets if you go there. A diabolical liberty.

doombar and green king IPA, not exactly exciting but were enjoyable pints.
otherwise its got that chain pub feel.
there are some booths which would be good if your in a group in the evening but otherwise its just a paint by numbers high street pub/bar.

Bah!

Best pub before the treaty
|
Cheap food but only l pride alewise on tap when visited, 7/10

I havnt been in the Met for a while, but apparently all the staff are dressing up for halloween tomorrow. Cant wait...hopefully the boss lady (munchkin) will dress up as one!!!

The Met is the perfect bar to drink at before heading off to a club. The prices are probably the cheapest in town and the bar staff are definatley the friendliest i have come across in a long time. The manageress is a small blonde lady which the others call 'munchkin' due to her tiny stature, but it in no way resembles the presence she has behind the bar. Along with her team, they create a welcoming and friendly atmosphere to suit all. The pub has a female friendly atmosphere as this little munchkin and her team arnt afraid to tell those drunks and perverts where to go when they over step the mark. Men also seem to like the pub as there are a few little hotties strutting their stuff on both sides of the bar...Girls, if you like RAF men and rugby boys,this is the pub to be at.

Good bar, good staff and good atmosphere - it is a little small though
|
Yeah the place is ok for a drink at the weekends but does have like a funny smell inside but then i find most of the shops and pubs do down that end they all smell like pulic loos ..lol
|
i agree with TheGP, last time i went there it smelt a bit. didnt enjoy the music that was playing that particular night, but people were all laughing and having fun, great!
|
OK, I slagged this place off before but have been back in for another go.
It did stink last time, but fortunately it didn't smell too bad now - Ate and it was fast and OK. I'd say it's about the same as the Old Bill, acceptable place to go for a beer and food at lunchtime, bit Chavvy and chain bar-esque in the evening for me.
One annoying thing though - Don't give me my change on a bloody tin tray - it is very pointless

This pub wins has down over the Old Bill for all the reasons mentioned, The smell mentioned is probably wafting from across the road.
The Only problem is the lack of Sky Tv. Present until recently, so it makes this good football watching pub a non starter. Also, even if the footballl is on terristal the Lcd screen gets interference from anything that moves and repeated freezes (not a one time occurance).
Since the refurb (2005), the pub is so much better as now when you open the front door smoke doesn't come pouring out.
|
I like the Met, you get a studenty type crowd in there, no aggro, in complete contrast to that chav magnet across the road
|
The smell of shite is never acceptable in a pub. I left in Nov 2004 and since then they have had two different managers. If you had entered in the 12 months before the refurb maybe some of your comments may have been valid as the place was run down even though the place had a refurb in 2001 as well as the most recent in 2005. My advice is try the place again as the Met is one of the safest pubs in Uxbridge and a hell of a lot better that the Old Bill, at least we can agree on that!

Went into the pub last night and could not come across any nasty smells. Admittedly the toilets have not been refurbished at the same time as the rest of the pub but the gents seemed clean if a little shabby.
The rest of the pub has been refurbished and is clean and bright with young enthusiastic staff and seems a safe and nice place to drop in for a drink and possibly a meal off the extensive menu.

I'm afraid the place stank - or do you think the smell of shite is acceptable in a pub.
not biased at all then "The Landlord". nuff said
TheGP - 29 Jan 2006 20:48 |
GP what pub were you in and did you you bring the walking stick with you? Recently had major refurb in September so your comments are just complete rubbish. Might be a good idea to waddle off to the Three Tunns seeing as you like it so much. The Metropolitan is one of the safest boozers in Uxbridge and has been for many years, I should know as I used to run the bloody thing!

Ventured into here after being scared off by the Chav Hell over the road in the Old Bill.. no different.
The only difference was the smell of urine from where I was sitting - The toilets are in a complete state, Mrs GP confirmed the burn marks, broken seats, leaks, smells etc. Although I could confirm the smell from my seat. Any thoughts of eating in such a disgusting hovel soon subsided. Quick pint and then made my exit - An awful awful experience, and went over to the Queens Head, which was an altogether pleasanter experience.

The revamp of this pub is an excellent improvemnet to the pubs of Uxbridge. The menu makes for interesting reading and the bar staff are good value.
|
Excellent place, dropped in mid afternoon one sunny day and spent an hour or two in the company of some good people! The pub has been extensively refurbished and looks good! The young pretty barstaff are both friendly and knowledgable about both the boozer and the town. Food looked good as well.
|
newly refurbished and looks great!! cheap drinks, great atmosphere, friendly staff, good music and they serve food til 9pm! the little alcoves are really cosy. best thing is - no chavs!
anonymous - 9 Oct 2005 17:30 |
Nice cosy little pub, reasonably priced. Reguarly filled with students or rugby players. Good atmosphere, often very busy!
|
nice little place, shame its so near the awful Old Bill nearby. good rock music and little alcoves - god they make pubs so much better.
