Britannia, Euston Station

My complaint to the owner of this pun:

I went to the Euston Britannia Bar last night (20/12/09) for a couple of drinks while waiting for a delayed train to arrive.

The bar looked nice enough but clearly the staff just wanted to get home as quickly as possible.

They called time at 10pm.

Because time was being called early I went to the bar to order a second pint leaving my coat on my chair, half a pint on my table and an open magazine also on the table. Before my pint was poured one of the staff working had 'cleared' my table of my drink and magazine.

When another customer complained about the early closing he was shouted at by the staff. When he shouted back an off duty member of staff assaulted him and other members of the seemed keen to participate. It was only the fact that the customer ran out of the bar that the situation did not escalate.

When I expressed my annoyance at their attitude I was told to 'f*ck off' and the member of staff who assaulted the other customer came over to me in a threatening manner. At this point I walked out of the bar.

This was quite simply the worst public house I have been to and the only reason I did not call the police to deal with the assault was that I was meeting a sick friend from a train and could not be delayed.

You claim to be 'Real Pubs on stations' but there was nothing 'real' about the service on this evening. In fact it was rude, violent and appalling.

I expect to hear from you regarding this matter.

Really winner of a pub this one.

My second (possibly third) visit last night for a birthday celebration with a group of about 10 in total and just a pleasing evening in every respect. A special salute to the staff for the friendly and excellent service throughout. Most of us ate and not a single complaint there.

Highly recommend for most occasions

Not bad at all..

Have done this place on half a dozen occasions. Eaten a few times and the noodles are good at around �5 a time. The beer has been fine and the staff are pretty nice.

Not a pub I have been in after working hours really but definitely worth a stop if you are passing.
