"The food was delicious and you have a lot of choices."
"The Chicken Roast... he declared it the best roast he'd ever had."
"The food we encountered was nothing short of fantastic."
Cons:
"the kitchen apparently doesn’t believe in seasoning, especially for starters."
"The fish had too much batter in it at the middle making it chewy and seemed uncooked."
"They had sub par food and portions served today, I paid £16 for the amount of mussels pictured, and everyone else's food was very poor considering a considerable price point."
"The humous starter, which was utterly tasteless. The bread was stale."
"Less than average food especially for the price."
"Food overpriced for what we had - no sign of a 'grilled' peach and cold cheese, poor salad."
"The food doesn’t worth the money you are spending. It was not tasty at all."

Cons:
"Lacks the soul and character of other pubs in London."
"it’s incredibly loud in there, so not a particularly pleasant atmosphere."
"Service terrible, no real ale, unpleasant interior, conversation impossible due to music loudness."
"It's a big modern barn of a place which reduces the score for atmosphere."
"This is not even really a pub, it’s a low class bar making the least out of its prime location."
"It was super busy and noisy."
"The place only showed how disorganised and messy it is, it’s just a pub for people to get wasted."

"The menu was reasonably priced."

Cons:
"The food is ok but at very inflated prices for the quantity and quality of what you get."
"Likewise the drinks are very expensive."
"The price was a little high - 60 quid for two burgers, chips and drinks."
"You’ll need a second mortgage for - £20 for a pint and a large glass of white wine !!!"
"they really need to drop the 12.5 % 'suggested' service charge thing."
"Little bit overpriced."
"Even at London prices not worth £21."
Cleanliness
Pros:
"Clean place with small seating area outside."
"Facilities were nice and clean, well looked after despite the very busy evening I have attended this establishment."
Cons:
"The brutalist building design made it uncomfortable in the heatwave."
"Inside had a bad smell probably because of the toilet or food."
"Toilet was not clear and smelly."
"The day we visited the toilets were really dirty, unclean and there was loo roll all over the floor."
"And this place I guess had same idea to make a pub with toilet smell to make your talks flow smooth so you can loose the perception of time and enjoy your tasty drinks with smell."
"If they can’t look after the toilets what are the kitchens like? Glad we didn’t eat there!"
"Men's WC was out of order so they were using the only disabled WC/Baby Change."
