Food Quality
Pros:
"Food is delicious, try fish and chips it’s much better than so called London’s best."
"The food was surprisingly good, the steak was decent, the burgers were good and even the veggie burger were delicious."
"Lovely bar/pub. Great décor, tasty food (giant hand-made nachos!) and the drinks are reasonably priced."
"Really enjoyable visit to this lovely pub. Staff very friendly and food tasted fantastic, especially the beef pie."
"We had the nut roast and the chicken roast and both were cooked perfectly."
"The pork belly was especially delicious and portion sizes spot on."
"The food is amazing."
Cons:
"The roast was pretty bad, the veggies were cold and the potatoes have been reheated so many times that they were hard like a rock."
"Disappointing burger. Paid £15 and basically ate a chicken nugget wrapped in bread."
"The worst food! The burger patty is a very narrow, rotten bun."
"Was served a 'Tomato and Avocado salad' with no avocado, nasty lettuce and gross cucumbers."
"Food wasn't hot."
"Although my friends enjoyed their food, my burger was overcooked (you could actually taste burned meat around the edges) and under seasoned."
"Roast was very dry and overdone. I had the nut roast and thought everything seemed sat for a while and tough."
Ambiance & Atmosphere
Pros:
"The atmosphere here today has been relaxed and the music is at a level that we can all hear each other chat."
"It's still a decent Victorian boozer with an OK selection of beers and an almost legendary atmosphere."
"Great vibes outside with the tree and green all around."
"I love their beer garden and the lights around the trees and fence."
"The real gem is the courtyard beer garden where you can relax and enjoy a drink on warmer days."
"Great pub with good vibes, for client meetings during day and with colleagues in the evening."
"Good atmosphere."
Cons:
"A bit past its best."
"Made famous by the nursery rhyme 'pop goes the weasel' this is worth a visit but has changed since my last visit and is now furiously noisy."
"The noise levels yesterday evening were beyond."
"The atmosphere is dingy, despite a beautiful exterior."
"The garden occasionally gets deafened by a siren."
"Hard to get served, staff seem hit and miss in terms of mood, even without a full moon ;-)"
"Looks a bit run down inside."
Value & Offers

"Great for the price point (under £20 a head)."
Cons:
"It’s a shame that it’s not really a pub anymore, it’s great that they can attract a lot of diners and good luck to them but I remember it in the 70’s & 80’s when it was a lovely bar."
"As far as pubs go this one just isn’t up to snuff."
"Used to be one of the nicest pub in the area and now the food choice is limited and not really nice."
"Don’t bother, unfriendly service, food is no longer good, and beer is overpriced."
"This is a mediocre pub that sells mediocre food at disproportionate prices."
"Food is so bad it’s borderline disrespectful to my mouth."
"Good food but absolutely terrible and aggressive service."
