Paya & Horse Pub gallery — Restaurant in London

Me and my friends walked in and asked for the menu as we didn’t know what drinks and food they sold. The old man told us that it was too late to see the menu and order food and so we asked the menu to see the drinks he then raised his voice to my friend saying all the drinks were on sight and we just had to look at it and choose. We got the drinks and sat down and then saw a lady carrying food to other people’s tables.

Thank you for your reply, Tash. I understand that you only serve food until 9:30 pm. I appreciate you for clearing that up. I’d like to clarify that there’s nothing to forgive from my side — the one-star review was intentional, and I stand by it. Even if the gentleman is a recognised and respected publican in Battersea, that does not justify the way he spoke to us. Being traditional or well-known in the area doesn’t excuse rudeness or dismissive behaviour toward newcomers.

Also, no — I did not notice that “everyone knows each other,” and even if that were the case, it doesn’t make poor service acceptable. What I did enjoy that night was spending time and having fun with my friends. Despite the questionable customer service, we chose not to let the environment or the owner’s attitude ruin...

Stumbled into this place with my little one and honestly thought I’d made a mistake—pubs and toddlers don’t usually mix. But wow, was I wrong! This spot is the definition of child-friendly without sacrificing the cozy charm of a good old London pub. The staff were beyond lovely—like the kind of people who genuinely seem to enjoy being around tiny humans.

Prices? In a city where you can pay £7 for a whisper of a pint, this place was refreshingly reasonable. I didn’t need to remortgage anything, which was a plus.

The decor has that “grandma’s living room meets Eastern Europe meets Guinness” vibe—and I mean that in the best way possible. Loads of character, comfy chairs, and even a flower pot centerpiece that my toddler tried to claim as his own.

If you’re in Battersea and want a pint, a chat, and a place where your kids are welcomed (not just tolerated), this is it. We’ll...

I ordered three beers and two vodka and cranberries. The bartender said the cranberry juice was a bit old which I said was probably fine. I didn't realise quite how old it was though as it had blobs of mould floating in it. When I said It had mould in it, the bartender was visibly annoyed at me and said "I told you it was old" as if that gives you a free pass to serve mould to customers. I obviously declined the cranberry vodkas and asked for 2 bottled ciders instead. The total for 3 beers and 2 ciders came to £35 so I'm assuming I was charged for the mouldy cranberry vodkas as well. Needless to say I will be avoiding this place for its poor service, mouldy drinks and for essentially scamming me by charging me for mouldy drinks I...
