"I 've been going to the Sports Bar and Grill for many years, usually when I 'm on my way to watch something at Wembley. I was aware of their practice of Event Pricing , where they raise the prices when there are events at Wembley, but I was surprised at the cost of a Pint of Lager served in a Plastic Container at £7.95 and one brand of beer costing £8.50 a pint. It says something when having a drink inside the stadium is cheaper than a bar that 's a 10-minute train ride away. The next point I would like to make is their app ordering process. I 've got used to ordering by app, and I 'm happy using it, but the last few visits to the Bar, where I have used the app, are now the cause of a standing joke between my group of friends. On more than one occasion, when ordering drinks on the app, after a period of waiting, I went to the bar, took the ticket out of the machine and handed it over to the bar staff. If you don 't want us to use the app to order drinks, disable it. For the main reason for the review, we ordered food last night, in plenty of time to consume it and make our train. After 40 minutes of waiting, we enquired how much longer we would have to wait and were told it would be another 20 mins; at this point, we cancelled our food as we would have to wolf it down and run for our train. I had also ordered another round of drinks on the app, which hadn 't appeared and was told they would bring them over ASAP, after a period of waiting, I went up to the bar, picked the reprint of our round out of the printer and asked for that round to be cancelled. Whilst the order was being refunded, there were other customers asking to cancel their orders. I think it is time to go back to the Victoria Albert round the corner, which should help the Sports Bar and Grill cope with the number of customers."

"St. John's restaurant was possibly the worst restaurant meal I have ever had in England. And it was on the last night of my visit. I had hoped to have a good meal to celebrate my trip, but this ended my trip on a sour note. For dinner I ordered Potteed Shrimp, braised lamb shank and a class of Merlot. The potted shrimp consisted of tiny canned shrimp that looked as though they were cooked three days before and were in a greasy butter souplike fluid. They were disgusting. The lamb shanks also we're obviously cooked several days before, they were totally dried out and flavorless and served in a thick gravy that tasted instant and very salty. The shanks were served with mashed potatoes that were gluey. They tasted as though they may have been instant potatoes. And for some reason there were raw branches of Rosemary stuck in them. I barely ate any of the shrimp or the lamb, or the potatoes… And yet the server, who looked as though he was 18 years old, never asked if there was anything wrong. Even the class of wine was horrible. It tasted like it came from a bottle of €2 wine from the ASDA. The ambience was very 1960s… And not in a good way.I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone for any reason. The only positive remark I have to say is that I did not become ill after eating the food. The sad note is that after I left I walked passed what looked like a fabulous restaurant where I could have gone to actually have a great last night dinner."
