"I’m a professional woman of colour in my fifties fighting cancer and undergoing chemotherapy. During October I decided to go to this local pub for a quiet drink with my small dog. After ordering my drink at the bar, a man and woman started to verbally abuse me. The attack was completely unprovoked. The verbal abuse continued throughout my drink being made, whilst I was sat at a table. I was so scared, I didn’t get up to get my drink because I didn’t want to walk past the man and woman abusing me. The man called me a “b*tch” and a “c*nt” and the abuse continued until they left. No one spoke up or defended me throughout the attack. One member of staff eventually asked the man to “leave it”. They left when they finished their drinks and as they passed called me a “c*nt”. I didn’t say anything throughout. I am not sure if this was a racist attack or because I was a female on my own but I do know I don’t feel safe at this pub or walking past it. I have never experienced this kind of verbal abuse as an adult. It really shook me up and upset me. What was meant to be a moment of forgetting about my cancer became a really awful experience. Probably the worst thing was that no one defended me or stopped the abuse. Sending a clear signal to the abusers that this was acceptable behaviour in this pub. I live a few roads away and feel the lack of action by the staff speaks volumes. I now regularly visit Greenwich Grind where I feel really safe and looked after. I know the staff there would speak up if anyone (poc, LGBTQ etc) was attacked. I left Richard 1st in floods of tears that day. I tried to contact the management to discuss what happened but we couldn’t find a convenient time. I felt it wasn’t important to them. I will never set foot in here again."

"Visited with my daughter before the Celine Dion concert on 29th July. First impressions were good but things went downhill fairly quickly. We arrived about 5.30 and were seated upstairs. Despite being fairly quiet staff still seemed a bit flustered. We ordered drinks and received the wrong order, when asking for it to be changed the waitress didn't totally understand the problem but eventually returned with that we ordered. We only had soft drinks but just tasted like cheap juice. The food looked lovely, with a good selection, but sadly not as tasty as it appeared. By 6.15 it was getting quite busy and as you would expect the food that was available soon disappeared. Unfortunately they just couldn't keep up with demand at this point and took ages to replenish food, plates and cutlery. People were waiting to be served with drinks and queuing for food for an unacceptable length of time. A few were complaining but weren't getting much response. An apology goes a long way to appeasing people but it wasn't forthcoming. When they finally started to top up the food it was going quickly again so no doubt it would've ran out again all too soon. We didn't hang around to find out once we saw the dirty, wet dishes that were brought out for desserts. That was a bit off-putting so we gave up and left.Probably nice when they don't have as many people to look after but wouldn't go back to find out!"

"We went to Frankie and Benny’s for a delicious authentic Italian lunch as we were getting hungry and wanted to break up a jubilee line journey from Stratford to Green park and remembered this was here and having been once before and liking it I decided to go back.The service was exemplary,our waiter was just fantastic very friendly,chatty and polite.He handed my gluten free allergy really well.Also food came out in about 10 minutes which was great bearing in mind it was all so fresh!The food was absolutely delicious,my gluten free pepperoni pizza was heavenly and you couldn’t get more Italian than a Frankie’s gluten free pepperoni pizza.It was lovely and hot,presented well,good portion sizes,extremely fresh and very good for money!Infact if you visit at lunch time you get 1 course for £9.90.That’s fantastic value and better value than places like Nando’s etc.And with just buying tap water it’s a real bargain which is great as water is one of my favourite drinks,you can never ever ever go wrong with a glass of water.It’s good for you and boots you’re hydration and well-being.Also the decor in here is lovely,all very fresh and beautifully decorated.I love the new Frankie’s decor it’s just so nice and I love it how they have re-visited it.It’s much cooler(temperature wise and fashion wise).I love the lights as well.It is also very spacious and clean.Also toilets were convenient and clean.This is a perfect place for a meal if you are on a train journey,before or after shopping, cinema,bowling or concert.Or after a trampoline session,skydiving session,climbing session or during a day out in London.Would highly recommend this.I reviewed it on tripadvisor as they were displaying the 2022 travellers choice award and they had quite a lot of negative reviews recently and to share my positive experience may help them have that award again this year or in future years"

"My sister and I went to this pub today for a late lunch. We ordered food after a long wait for someone to take our order. When the food came, it was over cooked and inedible, particularly my sister’s meal. She spoke to the manageress who was completely disinterested but offered take part of her meal off of the bill. When it came to settling the bill, we said we were not happy that we were paying for any of the food as it was all inedible. My sister asked to speak to the landlord, but he refused to speak to us and sent his manageress who had already made it clear she had no interest. We begrudgingly paid the bill and, on our way out, my sister approached the landlord who was instantly aggressive and refused to enter into any discussion smirking and saying he had more important things to do. Out of frustration, my sister, unfortunately, used some strong language. At which point, the landlord became very threatening, chasing us out and saying things like “See what happens next” and “you haven’t heard the end of this “. He followed us out and repeatedly implied that something bad was going to happen to us. He was so vile that I must admit I am concerned he could try to track us down from my credit card details. I am going to report this to the police in case there is any “payback” for us having the audacity to complain about a terrible meal! In all my years of dining out, I have had some rubbish customer service, but I have never been intimidated and threatened for complaining,"

"First impressions seemed good, a large busy establishment with very few tables free. The staff were welcoming and sat us down quickly. Unfortunately the table was quite dirty and we had to ask for it to be cleaned and other tables where people had finished their meal weren't cleaned away for a while. We ordered drinks, starters and mains. The drinks came quickly, followed by the starters Hummus and olives with bread. Was a great light starter for us both, full of flavour and wasn't too small nor too large. We then waited 40 minutes for our main. It was obvious that the staff were very short (1 in the kitchen, 2 on the floor) for a busy and sunny Sunday, and couldn't cope with the amount of people in the restaurant. I saw the young of the waitresses clean a wet spot on a table wiht a napkin, and then leave it there for the next customers, with the knife and fork laid atop of it. Once the food had arrived, it was bland, small sized portions and wasn't very fresh. We were not the only ones with this issue with several other tables waiting very long for food only to have something a bit dreary laid in front of them. Someone had spaghetti bolognese, and it was clear the pasta wasn't drained properly but the way it was all swimming. Another lady had a lamb and rice dish, with the rice looking very plain and boring and every so small portions. The menu had no real identity taking food from a wide array of cultures. There was a man wandering in and out of the establishment, who I presume is the owner by his audacious attire, who obviously had no clue what was going on in the kitchen and lives in a fairy land. The staff are undertrained and clueless (one waitresses was on her third day and had no idea of what drinks were on offer or if dishes were in stock), the hygeine is questionable and the food was poor. I would stay clear of this place and search for a different restaurant, or at the weekends visit the food market across the road."

"Sorry to say this place is awful!The decoration is fun with photos of Latin America its culture, and the music is a good mix of salsa, bachata, cumbia and pasillos, but that does not make up for the dreadful food and customer service. I was in between appointments after work, hungry and tired so went in and had a classic quesadilla something quick and light. The cheese was a mix of (I think) chedder and what tasted like fake cheese from a can absolutely disgusting taste that lasted in my mouth for about 30 minutes, even after drinking loads of water! The quesadilla had some kind of spice in it, I asked the waiter, he said it was salsa certainly not fresh, homemade salsa. The pico de gallo was basically: tomato (not fresh), 3 bits of coriander, huge chunks of red onion no lemon or lime juice (I prefer lime in mine), garlic, and zero chilli and dry! I asked the waiter for some lime juice to give the pico some flavour and liquid as it should have, and he gave me a shot glass of LIME CORDIAL!!!!I took 3 bites of the food and just could not eat anymore. I told them I was not happy and didnt want to pay, the manager just didnt know what to say, no initiative at all. I left without paying.There was only one other table a family of 4 in the restaurant, and that was it! The bar tender/waiter and manager were just standing around awkwardly.Please do not even waste your time, the food is not at all fresh and the staff are gormless. There are much better, more authentic Mexican restaurants in the capital."
