Furthermore, if you look at one of the original postings on the smoking, the barmaid was actually informed and just ignored it. So staff WERE informed!!! If they chose to ignore it then they along with the people who run this pub are breaking the law. Enough said.

I get the distinct impression 'water' that you may indeed work in The Running Horses as you're very quick to defend them a day or several days after a bad review has been posted. If so, your comment on the place being shut down after being reported to the authorities and the immature 'lol' that follows shows how totally incompetent you are at your job. You obviously don't take it seriously. GROW UP!!!!!

London796 - I was in a pub as I wanted a drink!!! And didn't want to be met with a stinking toilet and people smoking!! If REAL locals count as foul mouthed hooligans then yes I'd rather go for a "drink" in a restaurant...but why on earth should I?!!!! I am not a snob. It's just my opinion, but this place is a complete dump. Others agree so I know I'm not the only one.

Having only been a few times to this pub I must admit we really weren't too impressed. There certainly aren't many pubs in the area so we really don't have much choice - might venture back but only at a push. I can't speak myself on this score, I can only go on what my husband tells me but he said the toilets were disgusting - no toilet roll and free floating 'material' in the toilet the whole duration we were there (nearly 3 hours). The hand dryer wasn't working and he said there was a pathetic, almost empty squeezy bottle of soap. So we must disagree with the previous poster's comment on the pub being cleaned throughout the day. It wasn't even that busy so the toilets could certainly have been checked at some point. The pub was also cold. There are two fires, one of which was lighting quite well beside the pool table but the other was struggling. We were sitting in this area and it felt quite uncomfortable - the radiators weren't on. Drink prices were reasonable but wasn't impressed when I was offered a 'table' red wine. I opted then for a chardonnay. Staff not overly friendly, a pretty average reasonable service. I'll agree with some other posters comments on the language of some of the locals. It really isn't very good - the 'F' word was mentioned on numerous occasions and the awful 'C' word too. Not what you want to hear after a hard day's work when you're after a relaxing drink. Final point - the smoking. Yes indeed we noticed it too, only once but to be honest that's too many times. And yes it is breaking the law. Personally I haven't encountered this problem in any other pub since the smoking ban came into play. So all in all pretty poor.

Running Horses, Erith
Water - if you know people who work there you surely can't be talking about the management so you're talking about the bar staff - the bar staff that people have been complaining about on here!! So no wonder you're defending them!
Ignore any future postings from this person. He/she is also very immature. Retired at 32? And you're coming on here to post reviews about a scummy little pub? Doesn't add up matey. Get a life and get out there and enjoy your 'retirement'. Hope it rains.
