Not sure I'd rate this 5 stars...but it is very well worth a solid 4.
Good selection of beers on offer, bar manager/landlord keen to tell us about them and their origins.
I'm not totally bowled over with the decor, but it was a nice place to spend an hour in this part of London.
Seemed a good range of food on offer, traditional pub fare to more unusual ( Go on, be honest, when did you last have 'Caen style Tripe'?) Cannot comment on quality of food as it wasn't on my agenda at 3pm on a Thursday...at which time the atmosphere was quiet, and the staff friendly and engaging.
Went to this pub tonight with work colleagues and was bitterly dissapointed. Barman 1 was very friendly at first. But when requested Chips from Barman 2 was told they didn't do them. The only thing they do is bags of crisps for £1.20- ridiculously expensive even by London standards! They only had one flavour so he stormed upstairs to get more, spent several minutes rearranging them behind the bar before finally throwing a pack in my direction. When we saw that chips were in fact on the menu but with fish, I asked Barman 1 who was clearing the table whether there was anyway to get a bowl of them. I was told 'Absolutely not' before finally getting the explanation that they only cut the right amount for the meals on the menus.
The lack of chips, while ludicrous in a pub, wasn't the problem. The problem was the rubbish attitude problem, hissy fits and general rudeness of the bar staff. Really unhelpful and overpriced.
Excellent little pub. Nice atmosphere and as stated below, the barmaid is absolutely brilliant. The type of barmaid that many drinkers could fall in lust with because of her looks, charm, wit and wisdom. I fell in love!
One of the better pubs in area awash with good pubs. Excellent beer served by a publican who knows what he's doing
this pub does a really great Sunday lunch!
this is one of the better pubs i have visted,very friendly staff and lovely atmosphere,the lovely mangeress was very welcoming and made sure our pint was perfectly poured,could have very easily chilled out all day as our dinner was fresh and served quickly
