The Peacock, Tower Hill

D�cor � A pub with no pretensions. Toilets were clean and healthy which is always a good sign.

Staff � A refreshing change. All were English speaking, efficient and cheerful. Though the barman can be a little over friendly and �chummy�.

Pricing � Spot on, even cheap for the area. Ales were on a� try before you buy, another good sign of someone who cares what they sell and despite it being Friday, Blacksheep and Harveys were on great form.

Overall � A little hidden gem. A fantastic mix of city workers from all walks and a great many regulars who easily mixed with everyone. No matter how busy it got, we never waited to be served and the staff new our round better than I did! This is a true example of the English pub at its best. Well done to the managers of The Peacock, you will see us again

Mary Janes, Aldgate

D�cor � Over-done. Arrtwo (above) sums it up; it is no different on the inside. They could have at least done something about the toilets which stink!

Ambiance � Brash and full of lecherous mid 30s guys.

Staff � Surly, inefficient. They say if you pay peanuts you get monkeys. I believe the people who trained these bar staff were the ones on peanuts. Yes it was busy, but the staff have great tendency to serve he who shouts loudest and frequently give over the wrong drinks.

Pricing - Over the top and the food was outrageous given the deep fried platters that I spotted sliding past.

Overall - I found the whole place rather offensive, including the Chavs; popping outside for a cigarette (Yes, I know I should give-up) we were constantly harassed by dodgy mini cabs, whilst the doorman stood there and watched.The first write-up in this section was obviously undertaken by a member of staff!



It was so bad we de-camped to the pub over the road.
