Have just had to walk out after aggressive/threatening behaviour from a drunk ‘regular’ who staff refused to help me with.
I had to make quick phone call in the quietest corner of the pub during daytime hours. A loud obnoxious drunk behind me started shouting across the room to ‘friends’ (actually off-duty staff) who completely ignored him. He continued shouting in my ear and when I asked him to stop, pointing out I was on the phone to my mum, him and his friend began some very colourful suggestions about what they’d like me to tell my mum they might do to her. They were inches from the phone by this point and she heard every word.
When I asked staff members in question to support/help me, I was taken aside and told that he’s a regular and possibly mentally ill, so I would have to tolerate it.
Genuine apology offered by a lady on the bar as I was leaving but too little, too late. Any member of staff, whether on or off duty, should be more responsible and willing to help in this situation - unfortunately the two lads were more interested in tucking into...
Read moreFun pub reasonably priced on drinks i guess.... For London anyway. Although i have noticed lately they've knocked the price up a bit on beer especially which hasn't sat well with many when it used to be good for a cheap drink, so they've moved on to nicer pubs up the road that cost as much.

One to watch out for.... Blonde hair kirk cobain style, heart tat on his left arm, you'll know him if you meet him. Im sure he's sound sober but drunk, he can make your...
Read moreGreat pub that's easy to pop in to if you are transferring from the Thameslink line to the tube station. Good TVs and sound system for football and sports. The menu is good and varied with lots of options for upgrades or substitutions (I recommend sweet potato fries). Pricing is medium to high but worth it for the quality of the food, the atmosphere and behavior of other guests. It is family friendly and I can't say for sure it's pet friendly but I have seen dogs inside on several visits which is nice. The gents were in a reasonable condition and the tables and cutlery were very clean. If you want to eat with friends or family on your way into London (positioned on a popular route for events at the O2 arena) you would do well to...
