"Went for lunch on Saturday with my husband and sister in law. Have been to this pub quite a few times and although the service has never been fantastic I was shocked at how bad it was. The last time we came (a few months ago) it was awful but we said we would give it another try as the food is nice and it’s a good looking pub. We were shown to our table and 10 mins later no one came over. There was no staff in the restaurant part at all for the whole meal. Had to go to the bar and ask to order, was told someone would be with us in 2 mins. 5 mins later a girl came to take our order. Bit of a side point but you wouldn’t know she worked there as she was in ripped jeans and a strappy top (not really appropriate). Food came out in acceptable time. 2 of the 3 burgers were a bit burnt and not great but the chips were really nice. No one came over to ask if our meals were ok. No one came over to clear our plates. No one came over and asked if we wanted coffee or desert. We got up and went to pay at the bar as there was no one around to ask for the bill. When we paid no one asked if everything had been ok. We would have ordered desert and coffee but got so sick of waiting (the restaurant was very quiet) we went to BIGS deserts down the road. Such a shame but the staff need a shake up in this place as it could be great. I’ve given it a second chance and won’t be giving it a third."

"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,"

"I went here with a party of 6 people for my birthday dinner, and i can thoroughly say i was not impressed. Our server, a young lady was giving attitude and genuinely seemed like she did not want to be there, the music in the venue was way too loud to the point where i could barely hear the waitress nor the person sat opposite me at the table. After being seated at 8.30 our starters and drinks came relatively quickly however we then waited around an hour for our food to be served, at this point we had complained and its only after that did food magically start coming out of the kitchen. We also noticed that other groups had been seated after us and got their food way before we did.... The food in itself was very mediocre, the seafood linguini was very oily and under seasoned and the cod and chips was bland and seemed over fried. The drinks were average nothing extraordinary. When we received the bill we decided not to pay the service charge which is optional. We spoke to management who admitted that there was a mess up in the kitchen so our orders were not input properly. I guess nobody including our moody waitress bothered to check in until after we had complained. I am also surprised that nobody bothered to communicate this information to us? its only after we spoke to management that they admitted their mistake. After we had spoken to management about poor service, they offered to reduce our bill by £50 which we thought was a good resolution however after leaving we noticed that we didn't actually get £50 off the bill, we only got £25 off as they had taken £50 off from the total bill which included a service charge fee of £25, this was very misleading off the staff to say, as they should have removed both the service charge of £25 and then given us the £50 off on top of that. Avoid this place, there are way nicer Brasseries in Central London."
