| In common with previous reviews, the beer was fine (Sharp's Red Ale), but the experience was spoiled by the four or five TVs all showing football at maximum volume. Aztecgoat - 7 Dec 2014 09:00 |
| The beer was ok but I could only manage one as I was concerned I may go deaf. First table I sat at was so sticky and dirty I had to go and wash my hands. Apart from that not much else to set it apart from every other pub. scrumweasel - 7 Nov 2010 22:59 |
| Looks inviting from the outside but that appearance does not extend to the inside. Very ordinary London pub. It improves towards the rear which is the only escape from the conversation-killing pounding 'music'. (does anyone actually ever ask for it to be switched on rather than off?) Furniture looks tired and ready for replacement. It is not old in the rustic sense but in the 'chipped veneer, been there since 1973' sense. So it came as a surprise that the beer was certainly OK and my fish and chips was excellent. And at least the TV screens were silent. Beachlore - 11 May 2009 23:13 |
| Visited on the afternoon of New Year's Eve. My first visit to this place since 1997, when I nipped in on a Saturday afternoon trying to avoid all the hysteria around Di's funeral: big mistake - one side of the pub consisted of an entire wall of TVs, all showing it. Glad to report the TVs have almost all gone, in fact the interior is now completely changed. Tables towards the front are ideal for Upper Street people watching. Pretty standard menu and range of drinks: three handpumps for Pride, GK Abbot and, err, more Pride. Not a great deal on the cider front - Strongbow at �3.10. Disabled access (via the right hand door) and WC with RADAR lock, although on the day I was there it had neither paper or a functioning wash basin. Martinl - 20 Jan 2009 19:18 |
| Sort of non-descript chain pub with various menus and wine lists cluttering the tables. Irritating. Boring beers, not very well kept and miserable manager/landlord. Wouldn't bother - there are plenty of other better bars on Upper St/ chick - 21 Jul 2008 10:41 |
