The Dove Inn, Hammersmith

The most recent reviews are interesting. I'm normally one that goes for the jugular when it comes to bad customer service, but my two experiences in here have been very good. In fact, the last time (May 2010) was exemplary:

It was the day of the CL final and I asked the landlord if he knew where we could watch the game. He named a pub (it escapes me now) and gave us directions. 5 minutes later he comes over to our table and asks if we want him to book us a table in the next place. We say that would be great, and half an hour on our waty out, the same guy walks us out the out and to the underpass.

Once we get to the spot (nr Ravenscourt tube) we find that we have the best table in the place - right in front of the telly; table set.

Perhaps the rest of the staff in there are obnoxious, but the main man is capable of being a gem.

The Water Poet, Shoreditch

Went in here for a mate's birthday / the Wales vs Scotland Six Nations.

$4.20 for a pint of Stella. Disgrace.

Seats arranged in a way that made viewing the game incredibly difficult.

Usual useless bar staff who have no grasp of who is next in line. How hard is it?

Full of Shoreditch cu*ts with their sparrow legs, skin tight jeans and arses hanging out. The type who sit about in a rammed pub noticing my wife is 8 months pregnant, but are too self centred or lacking in gumption to offer a seat. That is until they leave.

Should have slapped the pri*ks.

The Enkel Arms, Holloway

Salmon and Ball, Prince Edward and Black Prince gastropubs?

Don't confuse the proletariat with sc*m. Twit.
