| Am absolutely shocked to see the Mother is temporarily closed.I bet two mates one night this will be the last pub in Britain (I won’t say Great because it’s a dump now) to close down.I hope they don’t find out it’s shut and expect they’re winnings.It was always busy,most of the drinkers used to go outside at kicking out time and stand by the door until opening time the next morning,go in and drink another day of their lives away,some I believe are still stood outside. Apparently bad management and retirement led to our Mother closing and it’s future is in the balance.Maybe it will re emerge as of old or become a posh hoity toity establishment or be converted to flats.One day we will find out. wooser - 8 Nov 2024 12:41 |
| I love this boozer and it's always on my list when I'm in London Every post on here is true, it's what you see is what you get.I popped in during the Republic of Ireland match and the clientele consisted of three friendly barmaids,three old time Londoners,a couple of passers by stopping to watch the football, a dozen hardcore Irish drinkers, a couple getting drunk while they're poor son begged for his tea, a nutty woman arguing with herself and another lunatic who stuck his head round the door to inform us all Paul Mcgrath was the best centre back Northern Ireland ever had.He was politely thanked by most of the customers and reminded Mr Mcgrath played for the Republic. A great pub which always leaves you reluctant to leave and wanting to return. wurzel - 25 Mar 2019 20:04 |
| An Irish navvy pub frequented by guys who look like villians from an episode of Minder. No ale, just lager and Guinness as would be expected. Lovely tiles and Victorian decor though. Friendly long suffering barmaid. Richard_ReadingFC - 21 Mar 2014 11:48 |
| Rough round the edges pub frequented during the day by heavy drinking Irish pensioners watching the Horse racing. Busy at the weekends when a monumental piss up takes place to the sound of the Pogues. You will always find oddballs in these kinds of pubs too but they are mainly harmless. Fine to pop in to watch the footie or pass the time of day with the regulars over a cheap pint QueensParker - 6 Oct 2013 03:38 |
| I prejudged this place about six years ago and decided impose a lifetime veto; however, I had a bit of time to kill while in the area, so went in for a quick pint. Sometimes it's best to go with one's hunches; zero atmosphere, poor selection of drinks, some weirdo tried to talk to me at the bar and it wasn't even cheap. Foghorn1 - 18 Apr 2013 19:39 |
