The Rose of York, Richmond

went to this pub a couple weeks back after a walk along the river with my partner............
WHAT A VILE PLACE! I sat in the garden while my partner got the drinks and there was a group of young people smoking a joint, bit surprised as staff were walking in and out of the garden and didnt say anything... my partner then came out and was embarrased to repeat what the disgusting man behind the bar had just said to his mate "you can smell the fanny from here" as if that wasnt bad enough he then walked across to the table where the group where smoking and started to smoke a joint and downed a pint of beer.

Our food then arrived STUCK to a napkin. We asked for our money back and left very quickly.... ashame as this has the potential to be a fantastic pub.

The Globe, Brentford

As Pauls partner i have watched him turn many run down pubs into succesful GREAT pub's. i find your comments cruel, very sad and cowardly and if you feel this strongly about Paul maybe you should come and speak to him instead of this "hate mail" against him....
As for the pub it's doing the best it has for a very long time and we have had no negative come back apart from these two very sad people.

Live bands are massive and we recently had half of brentford in the back garden singing football songs till 11pm when they won the league two championship, and BBQ's now going when the weather is good, which is a crowd favourite.

The food is significantly better and a recent EHO score of 3 stars....!

As for the ales... Paul has taken many cellar courses and the lines ARE done at least once a week i should know as i do them myself, you don't have to take my word for it, come down and try for yourself, we pride ourselves for our Ales.
