| A Sunday lunchtime immediately after Christmas possibly wasn't the best time to gauge the merits of this pub with American tourists seeking a quick meal on almost every table upstairs. My £22 roast beef was pretty good which was more than could be said about my pint of Young's Original which tasted of cleaning fluid. I drank half of it and then switched to a Special (£6.25) which was much better. paul_d102 - 29 Dec 2024 20:45 |
| Saturday afternoon in rainy London. We opened the door to be met instantly by a waitress asking if we were dining. If we had said no, we wouldn't have been allowed to sit at one of the tables that all had reserved signs - although they were just being kept for food eating punters coming in off the street. This meant that I couldn't see what beers were on and knowing it was a Youngs house, I asked for a special. It was that bad, I had to take it back to the bar, when I found out they dont do Youngs Special - just the standard. It was swapped without fuss for a Naked Lady (who could resist?) which was in much better condition. Food was OK. Service was good, seeing as how run ragged she was. Wouldn't necessarily come again.

| This pub is certainly pricey - £7.60 for a pint of Sambrooks Junction and a small bottle of orange & mango juice. There were 6 real ales on offer and my pint of Junction was on the drinkable side of mediocre; it was a bit sour. The acoustics aren't great and it's difficult to hold a conversation. The bar staff were better than average for the area. This pub is aimed at the tourist trade with an emphasis on food. It's no better or worse than other pubs in the immediate area, and the beer's slightly better than the Shades next door. If you want real ale, try the Harp on Chandos Street 3 minutes walk away.

| I can only second Suedehead's comment, though can't recall the music. eddybeer - 15 Nov 2013 13:55 |
| This pub was a big disappointment. Looks good inside and out but the ale was bland,the atmosphere was non-existent and the thing I dislike most in pubs,reserved tables. The menu looked ok. One last thing,the music was bloody awful. Suedehead27 - 19 Feb 2013 16:14 |
