The Sir Richard Steele, Belsize Park

I used to frequent this pub as I live locally. It was recently taken over by another person or company. This pub used to have really tasty thai food - and I used to frequent this pub mid-week for a pint and dinner. I've been here a few times since the change-over and the food is astoundingly poor. It tastes cheap and highly-processed, with the quality being one-step-up from Wetherspoons. Crowd can be a bit rough on the weekends but, will come here for on a boozy night out but, certainly not for the food.

The Washington, Belsize Park

This is my local pub - the food is very nice and the pub landlord is great. However, my criticism is that recently (with the arrival of new bar staff?). I have been treated rather rudely by staff, I won't bore you with the details but, this has happened more than once and its left a bitter taste in my mouth - its a shame because I quite like this pub.
Until recently, I frequented this pub weekly but, I find my visits are becoming less frequent - do to the issues mentioned. But, its lovely local pub nontheless - with good buzz on the weekends.
