Ben Crouch's Tavern, Fitzrovia

I really can't understand the couple of reviews saying the food here is good. I like the pub itself, it serves decent beer, and the decor is good fun, it's not too loud and if you can get a table, it's a pretty good place to meet in town. On reading a couple of reviews on here saying the food was pretty good we decided to order something here before a gig at the 100 Club. Big mistake.
My veg. lasagne was small, microwaved to a lip melting temperature with a tiny garnish of floppy salad leaves and 2 slice of tomato for �8. My partner had the burger which arrived with around 10 chips and a cold bun for nearly �8 too. A complete rip-off in my view, which is a shame as the pub itself is pretty good. Drink here, but eat elsewhere...

The Worlds End, Camden

Absolutely dreadful. I've not been in the World's End for many years, but thought we'd pop in for a pint on the way back from meeting friends in Camden. I was charged �4.20 for a pint or Staropramen! When I asked why it was so expensive I was told 'it's a nice beer!' Sorry, but that doesn't stop every other pub I've had Star in charging around �3.50...

The metal music was so loud at one point I had to lean across the table to talk to mt partner, and that was a Wednesday night.

There are much better pubs in Camden, avoid the World's End like the plague.
