The Artichoke, Croxley Green

Eating or Drinking????
After finding a table tonight for my party that wasn't booked as most are in this really succesfull public house at 6.46pm ish, and being congratulated by the owners sister on finding an unbooked table; we consumed a few beers each and were just about th purchase another round when at approx 8.07pm ish we were informed that someone had booked our table on the internet and we had to vacate a table that we thought was ours for the night in 23mins.
Please note this is a public house that has many, many posters displayed in the pub refering to us locals as "Artifolk". Happy for us to drink sitting down unless the internet intervenes.
My heartfelt warning to local people or even more relevant, people from further afield, please book yourself a table to avoid the unbelievable series of events that I experienced.
To be happily camped at a table that wasn't booked was a rare and pleasant treat. But only an hour later to be told your table had been reserved in cyberspace whilst I was occupying it in the reakl world is baffling and amazinb.
My advice is book and eat or hope and pray that if you can find a table that isn't booked, that your evening isn't hijacked in cyberspace.
All the best.
Happy Drinking
