The Volunteer, Baker Street

Don't bother trying to eat here.
We work in the Baker Street area, and have really tried to like this pub, but have given up, the service and food is appalling. Food is always slow, even when the pub is not busy and dishes never come out at the same time, every time we've been, some of the group have finished eating before others' meals have arrived. The excuse you are given is that meals are processed in order that they reach the kitchen, this cannot be true as most times, the people who order first are the last to be served. We've had meals not reach the kitchen at all. It is a shame, because the food is actually quite good.

Most staff are slow, rude and clueless, they do not know what is on the menu, and many do not have a good understanding of English.

Beer & Cider selection is good, so I aggree with the comments that it is fine for a drink.

An overhall of the kitchen process and some more friendly staff would make a massive difference.
