London Apprentice - Menu

Lovely setting. Staff today, not very friendly, restricted menu

....Great location and historical pub.Its a pity the staff were totally indifferent , to the point of giving a bottle without asking if a glass is required.

We pre orderd our meal days ahead of our visit but on the day had no meals had to have something entirely different not very good and a smile from the staff would not go a miss very poor never going back

The food drinks were good, lovely atmosphere. However it has soured my experience when the rude staff forced us to go inside after 9pm without asking us politely and also closed the bar early like 10pm on Sunday. No warning or last order. We were planning to leave 10.30pm but the staff were rude. Fortunately I kept the photos of staffs and the bar were closed at 10pm.

We've been visiting on a weekend and it wasn't very busy at all. It's a truly beautiful pub in a historic building with a wonderful outdoor area on the river. The food was good, although my dish with haddock and beans was a bit spicy, and it was not mentioned on the menu. Other than that, it was tasting good. The service it was very laid back. Overall it is a wonderful pub and it is certainly worth a visit.

Despite a cute waterside area and view, this was otherwise a fail. I was told to order by table number but my table didn’t have one. When waiting at the bar to order with menu in hand, the wait was long since a large group was splitting checks etc (it happens). Then the cashier said sorry the kitchen is closed. 2:12pm. The draught beer had a sign say nothing available on tap today. The restroom stall didn’t have a lock or something to secure the door. — What’s going on here?— Consolation: other (attempted) patrons were kind.

First visit here 1985, great, standout place and stayed that way until the last 12 months. Gone completely down hill not only is the outside falling apart but one Friday lunch no food, todays Friday lunch no drinks on tap due to some weird gas issue. Food was below average, only one beer in bottles worth considering. Toilets had no paper, doors didn't lock and there was water all over the floor. Used to fight for tables, now too much choice. Spoiled all my good memories by going to this place such potential but a real disappointment.

Have seen about three management changes in the last 6-7 years. The latest one, although nice, are not as friendly as the previous ones, that made people feel specially welcomed. The ladies restrooms still need much attention: door lock, paper in its “right” place, message to customers of “please leave the toilet as you would like to find them” or similar-educating clients is at times urgent. The building needs some renovations by Greene King, well overdue. The pub food is nice, usual LA style. Had my Vegan burger , nice! The pub old and lovely atmosphere is what really makes it. More friendly and warmer staff, with repairs by the Greene King owners, may bring clients in drones.

Went there last weekend for my son’s birthday meal with family. We preordered our meal on the managers recommendation to ensure the food we wanted was available, to be told we couldn’t have it as it wasn’t delivered. When choosing other options, also told items not available. Menu very limited on choice so you’d expect what’s listed to be there but things happen and I guess couldn’t be helped. The two staff behind the bar, where rude, the one taking our order was very clearly unhappy to be inconvenienced by having us to choose other options. When the meal came my sons meal wasn’t as expected with most of the plate was salad so we asked for additional garlic bread to be told no you can’t have...
