Cock & Lion — Restaurant in London

I made a provisional booking to hire the room upstairs in the daytime ... made the booking face to face and took a menu away and watched the manager write the booking in the diary. The manager was meant to call me in January but she didn't and when I tried calling them, the phone number wasn't recognised. So I went back to show my family and to confirm the provisional booking in Feb face to face since phone wasn't an option and the manager couldn't have been more rude.

Couldn't comment about their food as I haven't eaten there yet, and we know a 'yet' means I'll definitely be going back. The clientele was very mixed from young adults to middle-aged folk, all seemed to be enjoying themselves.
