Victoria & Albert Bar — Restaurant in London

Most of the meals weren't available and the ones that came were underwhelming.

We came as a group, Firstly I order the steak meal, they informed me that the bernaise was unavailable, I requested as a replacement the peppercorn sauce. We paid for the meal and approximately 15 minutes after ordering and paying wa e were informed the steak was unavailable. I changed my order to the Chicken Tikka Masala which arrived without the Garlic and Coriander Naan without any explanation from the staff about its absence.

The curry was bland, the garlic bread was hard enough to use as a cricket bat and dry enough to use as a sponge. The toilets were disgusting and the male toilets were flooded with a solid layer of water.

The proportions of the sides were minuscule and the lack of competence in staff combined with an underwhelming standard of food and the lack of menu items meant for a disappointing meal, you'd be better off eating a meal deal from Boots accross...

Interiors are nice and antique. Clean and cozy. However, the male bar staff are quite clueless and don’t think like owners, nor for the business. A gentleman requested for a pint of beer, and when he was offered it, he wasn’t happy with the amount. He requested the barmaid to top up a bit to make it a pint - she was unsure so requested her colleague to come over. The barman refused to top up, even by a bit - when the customer said I won’t pay for that - he didn’t budge. Lost £5 worth of business over a small top up.

I requested for a Coke Zero - the barman pulled the bottle that had been sitting on the shelf for a few days/weeks - when I asked for it to be from the fridge / fresh one - I was told I asked for a coke and got a coke. I opened it and it was flat. I didn’t argue any further, but I hope this review helps you decide on whether you’d like to visit this place or not.

Poor form from the bar staff. Otherwise, very...

We were attracted to this place by the pub like feel. Cozy corners to have a pint while you wait for your train. The bartender was great, super helpful and knowledgeable. We would have stayed to order food but the experience was ruined by what appeared to be owner loudly scolding the staff in the middle of the pub. We just wanted to leave. Went to the bathroom and there was ZERO toilet paper and the bathrooms were disgusting!!! This place has so much potential to be busy as it is in a busy train station but the decor is overly worn and not in a good pub like feel and the owner was just awful. Maybe instead of scolding staff so publicly about ashes in the fireplace you should worry about the seat that are held together with caution tape and ensuring there are clean bathrooms. GO...
