The Black Lion, Kilburn

It's been a while since I went to this pub.

I went back the other night and now I remember why it's been so long.

Please - just serve beer. The food is over-priced, crap, cooked badly and practically thrown at you by surly staff who would rather be elsewhere.

This is a great place to drink and should be a great place to eat too. Sadly, the food and the service seem to be in competition with each other to see who can provide the worst deal for customers.

"Slow cooked" lamb that clearly been grilled - to an inch of its existence. Sausage and mash (no matter what the elaborate description) that would not meet the quality of a Weathspoons pub. Over cooked pasta and cold chips. How can a chef get so many things so consistently wrong? If I'd cooked it at home I'd have thrown it in the bin.

My advice to customers would be stick to the pub but eat at the delicious pizza place across the road. My advice to the management would be replace the service staff and chef and act on what your customers tell you.
