This place is alright, nothing too spectacular. I liked the tables outside but my beer wasn't great. Bit smelly on the inside, but I think it's cause they were cooking something earlier on. Felt like a fine local, had some charm to it. Friendly enough staff person.

Was in last week. I have to say for a weatherspoons it was pretty good. All the guest ales I had were fresh and tasty, interesting crowd. Good service, good prices. Better than a lot of pubs I been too really. Lucky enough to meet a few older chaps that sent us to the best pub in town (The Parrot) so I'll have fond memories of this pub and the people I met. I'd stop back here in a heartbeat.

This place is alright. I was in last week and the beer was moderatley fresh, though mediocre selection, so it wasn't the end of the world. I had the Oz beer, it was decent enough. There are better pubs in the area but in a pinch I would rather have been there than at work.

Everything said here is spot on. I had Tribute and it was very fresh, and my mate had one of the TT beers and was good as well. Wish all my mates didn't go to the Golden Lion for the Fulham matches cause this place is a good find. Surprised to hear good tunes on as well� Not the best of the best, but wouldn't argue that it is the best in the neighbourhood. I think if we stayed longer we wouldn't have left.

Comments are spot on. I had London Pride, not bad but I've had better - mind you it was Friday afterwork so take that with a pinch of salt. Place was packed but was still able to get a pint without too much effort. Would like to go back. The Cote, resturant next door was amazing. We needed to eat after many pints and wanted a good meal. This and the Ship is not a bad afterwork combo.

Place was heaving last Friday afterwork, as you could imagine, and not in a good way. Another other day it would have been fine I bet. Got a pint of Bombardier and it was not very good - had much better elsewhere. Was going to go to Argyl Arms but couldn't even get in. Guess I shouldn't be surprised the one place I could get in to get a beer wasn't the best and for a Friday afterwork I shouldn't be surprised. Made our way over to the Ship and it was nicer there and the beer was pretty good too.

Reviews are spot on. Was there last Friday night 26 Sep and it was heaving a bit - girls behind the bar were nice - and busy but kept the pints and pistachios coming. It's more cosy than rockin, but for a smaller pub hidden away it's exactly what you'd want to find upon enrty.

The Prince of Teck, Earls Court
I was disappointed with this place cause some lunatic came in off the street and drank my and my mates beer and hit him in the head so we either got in a punch up or left - and we left. In shock as you could imagine and I guess it could happen anywhere but the staff was nowhere to be found to help either, and the service seemed slow beofre that happened as well which was no good. To be fair, the pint I had a bit of before it was consumed wasn't bad, and it was a proper pub, lot of people eating and having a good Friday night.

Best pub on Earls Court road - which I know isn't saying much. Been a few times� Fullers ESB is so fresh - top notch and the quality probably matches the best that I've ever seen for a Fullers pub. Didn't eat. Service was decent. Crowd was ok/pretty friendly. I took the closest to the pin game for 3 quid last week.

History was great - so great we went back to see the band (Dave Stewart) last Thursday 25 Sep. Band was pretty decent. Not really a pub as they have everything from wine and spirits to coffee, but very few beers, and only bottled. But the place was very cool - bit pricey. Downstairs is great, small stage and a fountain to wash your hands in. Garden out back closes early. Food not bad either. Didn't think the bad reviews I read were completely fair tbh.

Decent pub, right outside the tube, but didn't feel like a commuter pub. Good place to meet for a pub crawl cause they have chairs and tables out front instead of a garden in the back. Pint (London Pride) was relatively fresh and not bad at all, lots of space inside. I'd go again.

The Parrot, Canterbury
This is in the top 10 best pubs I have ever visited. Used to be called Simple Simon's and is now called the Parrot. We were visiting town when a few old chaps at the Weatherspoons send us to the best pub in town - The Parrot. Down this little alley and around the corner and not as cheap - but well worth the find. Place is combined from 3 old buildings from 1000 years ago or something. Quality of the beer was top notch. I had a tribute, my mate had and incubus, and I had one of the youngs beers and I think bomardier - all were as fresh as you'll get. Staff great - hung out with the guy at the bar, and the locals. One guy gave me his lighter, which was over the top. Excellent huge garden outback, with a fire pit. We sat in the sun for awhile, very chill. If I could have stayed forever, I probably would have. I've rated 30 pubs on this site, and this is the only one I'll give a 10. Go here.
