This is an estate pub. The decor was, as described in the Time Out review, very 'Changing Rooms', the service was moderately friendly but inept, the music was nauseating and loud to boot, and the clientele spurious to say the least. I'm sure if you lived on the estate near where this pub is located it would be a not-umpleasant place to drink (although the pint of Tribute I was served was possibly the worst pint I've ever had, tasted of detergent) but to advertise this venue on Time Out is ridiculous.
This is probably my favourite central london pub... great decor, good selection of beers (inc Deuchars) and half-decent music. Onlyannoyance is the volume of customers of an evening, but that is indicative of the place's quality
What a pub. This is my local when I am at work. Tasteful interior, a decent selection of beers, and, it's strongest point, some of the best pub food I've ever tasted. The fish and chips IS without doubt the best i've ever had. Which is why I was most bemused today to discover it had been taken off the menu, because the landlord said that they were selling so much that it was getting boring! No, I really can't believe it either. The rest of the menu really is a delight, but nothing will quite match up to the fish & chips. Great outside area where you can sit in the shade or catch a bit of sun. 'Chuckle Brothers' staff have recently been replaced by a very attentive and efficient young lady.
A decent pub, good beer selection, strong point being the authentic Thai food and the attentive, efficient service. Does get very busy on Friday lunchtimes, but if you can avoid those times it comes highly recommended.
