The Hawley Arms, Camden

Went in for the 1st time before a rehearsal at Scar Studios just around the corner. First impressions - rude bar staff who are really up themselves. I was polite but only managed to elicit a grunt from the girl who served me.

Before leaving I left a small amount of flyers for my band's gig on some tables. Having done this before in loads of pubs in Camden, it didn't cross my mind that it would be an issue. However, on leaving the pub I was chased down the road by a member of bar staff. He said to ask next time and then launched a string of expletives at me. Fair enough if they don't want flyers in the pub, but it costs nothing to be polite! Miserable, rude gits.

I'll be heading into the Elephants Head next time I am in Camden.

The Plumbers Arms, Victoria

Visited on a Friday afternoon for lunch & a pint before getting a train from Victoria station. Beer was very nice - I had a pint of 'Horn Dance'.
The food is horrible though. My 'Falafel Burger' was a soggy, microwaved veggie burger, which was served with a miserly portion of about 8 chips. My hubby's fish & chips was of a similar standard. When I ordered I was asked if I wanted garden or mushy peas with the fish and it turned up with neither!

The Old Mill, Plumstead

Yay for the Old Mill!! 'Tis the best pub in Plumstead. Andy & his good lady wife make you feel welcome with a good selection of yummy real ales. Andy's got verbal diarrhea, but he's a good lad and knows his beer.
The local people in the pub are on the whole very friendly & the beer garden is lovely in the summer.
