The Ealing Park Tavern, South Ealing

I have been coming here for a number of years in its name change history. I went with 2 friends for a meal last night (08/01/11). I didn't like the menu as it didn't have enough vegetarian options, for me and waht was there seemed overpriced. So I decided not to eat. My friends were happy to eat and I was happy to sit with them at the table and have a couple of drinks whilst dinner was served. Firstly I quite like the surroundings, secondly the waitress, who was only on here second day, was very pleasent and knowledgable, thirdly my friends enjoyed the food immensely and fourth and most important what an arrogant, rude, sad, on edge, foolish and indiscreet manager. I believe he is from mainland Europe, for all of those that need to be aware. If you must rebuke your waitress just because one of a party of 3 decides not to eat DON'T stare at the customer as you talk to the waitress about the lack of income from the table, DON'T talk so loud you can be heard. DON'T assume that everyone is going to like the menu the whole time. DON'T go off on one when you have other empty tables in the dining area. But DO take her to one side to explain your inappropriate managerial skills, DO learn the basic customer service skills that all your staff seem to have but you clearly have no idea of. DO get some counseling also; you clearly need it. On that note I will not be visiting here again, I advise you ALL to have a hard think before returning here or visting for the first time. You clearly aren't a customer just a number and treated differently dependent on your expenditure.

The Hope and Anchor, Hammersmith

Great pub! Denise and Marta have done a good job! I suggest people come to the pub and make up your mind yourself before reading "tainted" information from other people. Bingo nights here are fun, as well as numerous other evenings. Considering its a small pub in Hammersmith and the only gay one now. It is helping its community! That is not to say it doesn't embrace and welcome warmly all other walks of life. Give it a go, you will be very surprised considering some of the damning reviews given on here, from people who clearly have issues............................seek professional help rather than post untrue reviews. Come on London visit this pub. A friendly, happy place, just what a local should be and full of character and characters, but chilly gents toilets! Thats why it gets an 8 out of 10! LOL! Prices are great also!
