The Enterprise, Holborn

Walk to the bar and ask "Have you sorted out the bogs?" The stench of ammonia in the pub was overwhelming and a trip to the gents confirmed all suspicions. The floor was swimming in a combination of urine, bleach and a cover up disinfectant. The smell in the toilets was making people heave! I spoke to someone who allegedly was the Assistant Manager who said it �happens from time to time and don�t worry it won�t go over the step!� When I suggested that a plumber should be called �what now?� was the answer. I politely said �no, as point of course if this happens on a regular basis!� Very little interest was shown. I had the misfortune to need a leak one more time before leaving and the Manager was making some effort to mop up the Tsunami that was now threatening to take over WC2 and he mumbled some bollocks about it being a one off, clearly a pile of shit (excuse the near pun!). Any way I will continue to use the pub on a lunchtime basis as it�s near the office but make sure I get in early before the miniature Boscastle re-occurs!

I gave it 1 out of 10 because every pub must have a redeeming feature, I suppose they can't screw up with bottles. It was about minus 2 outside and the pub was full of flies, so I would assume they could only have originated from within. It was suggested the smoking ban would highlight the farts and BO in a boozer. In 18 months since the law change, I can honestly say this is the only time I have noticed it. As per other reviews, over priced, poor service, crap bar staff, terrible staff to punter ration, filthy, I could go on. Enter at your peril!
