The Warren Wood, Buckhurst Hill

Dodgy Essex builders hell hole

If you like 30 somethings who still act like they are 16 and feel the requirement to prove to their friends that they are the tough guy of the group, especially after a few quite frequent trips to the cubicle

Much like a scene from 'Football Factory'

Avoid

The Edinburgh Cellars, Newington Green

Popped in here last Friday for their rock/alternative night,

had a really great night, cocktails were flowing and the vibe was spot on with a friendly mix of students and workers,

will check out the acoustic night they have on a poster on wednesday

The Junction Tavern, Kentish Town

Popped in last Sunday for the quite possible the best beef roast I have tasted, the service was great too, however when I went to the gents I almost lost my stomach with the overwhelming smell of urine, the walls were filthy too, a real shame as it detracted from the whole experience

Three Crowns, Stoke Newington

Popped in here last Sunday and had the roast dinner, for �12.50. I found it to be of small proportions with the "Roast potatoes" clearly deep-fried and overdone.
When my girlfriend ordered a Bloody Mary we found there to be greenfly in the celery, when I informed a waitress she told be that the salad had been washed but the greenfly must have "flown in" afterwards, highly unusual!

All in all an overpriced, over rated shame.

BRB at The Gate, Alexandra Park

What a shame that this pub didn't transfer to lease with the other 750 or so Spirit Group sites a while ago. The brewery have not invested any money in it since it was first converted to a BRB 5 years ago. If it was run by a leasee by someone who cared about the pub in its individual form (rather than one of 2000 sites they own) the pub would be in a much better state than it is now.
