"I love pubs! How many times do you hear that? I only properly discovered them 18 years ago because in France, although we have our cafes, they are nothing like pubs. I fairly quickly categorised them because when you think about it, they are all different. The best description for me for this one is a town pub full of character. I discovered it thanks to a friend and started going to hold a French Conservation group. I have only had drinks so far and believe me if you are after reasonable prices you have to go to the Gladstone. I have recently paid £2 in another place for a soda and lime. Here they charge you £0.30. And before you ask, no, it's not because it's served in a shot glass. When you enter the premises you will notice first the space. It has got room but you also can decide to sit in a smaller area. There is a fire place which is really nice especially at this time if the year. I went last Saturday to meet with a friend and we decided to have something to eat. If you want a night out but your are on restricted budget this is the place where to go. Ok the menu doesn't give you a massive choice as some do but in fact think about it, it won't take you too long to make your decision. The choice is good and the prices quite low. If you are vegetarian they certainly have thought about you. I am not but to be fair I've always wondered why the choices seem to be so restricted for those who are when eating out? I ended with the chilly beef and cheese. I like the fact you can choose to have it with rice or bread. The serving is good and I really enjoyed it. It was very tasty. The staffs work hard, are very pleasant and easy to interact with which is exactly what you want in a pub. It's a place with great atmosphere. And if you enjoy watching tv in a pub this is certainly the place where to go. It was a very reasonable and enjoyable night out. I'll be back!"

"Where do I start? the place is disgustingly dirty from the sticky floors, clogged toilets and the unhinged tables. I was accompanied by 5 friends who were hoping to get a roast. We got to the table at 5:55pm to be told that the chefs threw all of the roasts out and there is now no roasts for the day whilst the staff indulged into their roasts whenever they got a break.. After this, when my friend ordered a chicken burger, he wanted to share this with his girlfriend so he asked the waitress does the chef have a good knife in the back where he can cut this in half properly to which she replied No, I am afraid you have to do this yourself as we do not do this here.. Shocked already, we proceeded to move on and when my other friend was ordering a drink, the barman goes cant you see that I am busy??? absolute terrible hospitality. Then I went to the bar to order a drink and the staff were cleaning up, I said can I please have a gls of wine to which they responded can you not tell I am doing something to which then I decided I DID NOT WANT TO GIVE ANYMORE MONEY TO THIS PLACE. One of the waiters with his pants around his ankles then brakes a glass beside our table and just leaves this there for other people to get injured. Then I ask again, please can I have a gls of wine to which he said to be honest man, we are closing in an hour so I am not bothered to open up a new tab I dont know why he thought we needed a new tab as we were paying as you go?????? To conclude, just dont bother going, there is so many other cool/welcoming places in London like another pub closer to Battersea Powerstation who were sooo happy to welcome us (and they were closing in 15 mins). If you do decided to go, best of luck. To the team, maybe consider hiring new people? or atleast provide training to motivate because they are all useless."
