Staff and Service
Pros:
"Medium cozy, okay selection of beers, a limited number of local brews, but that seems to be common in London currently, with great and very friendly staff."
"Good service and good beer."
"Friendly staff, well served and typical pub-style food which was tasty."
"Steven our bartender was so friendly, attentive, fun, professional and completely wonderful that we have found our favorite pub in London!!!!"
"The atmosphere was great and the stuff paid attention to every detail in order for us to have a good time there."
"Very friendly staff though!"
"All staff we encountered were nice and friendly."
Cons:
"Terrible place called in on a Sunday nearly everything on the menu was unavailable."
"Firstly, one of the bartenders got angry at a question and proceeded to say if someone asks him that question again he will kill everyone - terrifying."
"Staff unfriendly. Verging on rude."
"The food was ok, but the sparkling wine was served warm. The hygienic standards are low and the Service was extremely disappointing."
"Staff are grumpy kids with an attitude that just want to hangout behind the bar on their phone."
"Awful on-the-bar-service. Theyβd be leaving you waiting whilst staring at youβ¦."
"No table service and pretty mediocre food compared to our excellent prior experience."
Food Quality
Pros:

"The food was delicious, great portions as well."
"The food was amazing, especially the crispy squid, the best one I have ever tasted."
"It was perfect for a evening with friends. We had some beers, Wings and chips, all very delicious π"
"The food and drinks were good. Portions were big enough that we couldn't finish it all."
"The Steak and red wine sauce pie was perfect."
"The food service lift has a total of 3 tickets on it. AN HOUR LATER!!! I receive my food."
Cons:
"Do not eat here. Had some of the worst fish & chips ever here last week."
"The chorizo was dry hard and looked like it had been left out for over a week."
"Quite the worst meal I've had in a pub for a very long time."
"The flat iron steak was lackluster and a bit over cooked."
"Sweet potato chips yummy but smallest serving- only half a cup for Β£3 or Β£4."
"Crispy squid all you could taste was the batter and when you did get some squid it was chewy and hard."
"Food was very poor, I ordered the 'famous' pie, it was ok, but the vegetables dry and cold and the mash was like glue and cold."
Atmosphere and Location
Pros:
"On the other hand if you want have a good beer with still ok prices for Lindon, friendly service and watch football this a place to go."
"Wonderful place, great atmosphere and full of nice people!"
"When thinking of my time in London, all the friends I've made in the past semester I've studied abroad there, The Gloucester arms often comes to mind."

"A really good pub, and excellent choice if you want to watch a match in a great environment."
"The place looks beautiful."
"A sports bar. Atmosphere is good."
Cons:
"This place is a little on the pricey side, but that largely reflects the area it's in."
"Drink selection is quite limited and the kitchen is closed after 9pm."
"Appallingly bad service. The website states family friendly, but no baby chair and obviously didnβt want us there."
"One end is good for watching sport on the TVs, the other entails sitting by the toilets."
"The water glasses also were not completely clean and neither was my dish."
"Tiny table near toilets. Stools only."
"Pub closed when listed as being as open at 11am."
Value for Money
Pros:
"Good value food in an expensive area."
"The beer was a very good price and we are from up north so It was good to find somewhere with our prices."
"The food and drinks were good. Portions were big enough that we couldn't finish it all."
Cons:
"Instead of filling their boots while the sun shines, they turn people away. Even at the extortionate prices they charge, people would have been happy to pay for more."
"Ordered a bowl of chips for Β£2.79, and this came !!!! Had about 1 and a half chips each π"
"Shocking service from the manager whoβs serving watered down drinks and refusing to take back a drink."
"Poor service took over 30 mins for a below average meal."
"Food tasted like it was bought from a frozen supermarket and put in a microwave. Really poor quality."
