The Crosse Keys, Bank

Prob the largest selection of ales that I've seen in a long while & most of them of a high quality, just such a shame that it takes so god dam long to get served in here, not helped by the shape of the bar, but can it really be that hard to get some extra staff serving??????

Going by other reviews I don't know if I just keep getting unlucky with the staffing levels, been in 5 or 6 times over the last few weeks, but I'm not going to keep going back to find out.

The Hamilton Hall, Liverpool Street

This can be a very busy spoons with some of the draw backs, i.e a fair amount of chavs. However that said,I think there are more plus' than minus' to this place.
I found service to be very very quick even though place was prob about 80% full, may not be super friendly service but I would rather brisk & business like service ( something the many fans of the crosse keys down the road might want to consider ) any day of the week.
The few times I have been in recently they have also had a good selection of both the standard fair ales (abbot, pedigree & ruddles) plus around 5 different guest ales that they seem to change daily.
Add to that all the pints I've had in there have been of the highest quailty, it's a place I'm def going back to & would reccomend to anyone, even to them Wetherspoon hating drinkers out there, you know who you are!!!!!
