Service
Pros:
"Good beer and lovely service."
"Service was faster than expected and they were welcoming to foreigners like us - much appreciated."
"She poured samples of 4 or 5 for me to try. Great service."
"The staff are great."
"Staff are pretty good at getting you served quickly."
"Friendly barman/manager. Really made us feel welcome and valued as customers."
"Employees are attentive and can pour a good beer as well as give recommendations for a nice G&T."
Cons:
"Food took a while to come after they told us that they could provide what we ordered for a starter pulled pork nachos."
"The waiter asked If I am done. So, he can take the plate and didn't come to his mind even to ask why I ate everything else but the Fish."
"Terrible service. I got half the meal I ordered and was told the rest was coming. 20 mins later I walked out still hungry."
"Service in this pub was nothing short of pathetic and they charged like a wounded bull for a pint."
"The food took a very long time to come out. The quality of food is poor."
"We were told we could no order any more drinks as we hadn’t ordered food."
"The waiter from the night of the Tuesday 20th of June was completely rude, taking the menu from our hands just saying: 'Kitchen closed', without even welcoming us to the place."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"Really nice pub with a great atmosphere."
"Nice pub, good atmosphere, clean and tidy and great bar food."
"The atmosphere and decor is that of a traditional English pub, which adds to the pleasent experience."
"Best pub nearby! We have eaten here a few times last week (breakfast and dinner). Nice atmosphere, good portions, affordable food and kind staff."
"This seems to be a real local pub with all the ambiance you’d expect."
"Nice typical English pub."
"Just arrived from Dublin needing to feed the family came across this lovely bar. Lovely atmosphere and really good pub food."
Cons:
"A pub is nothing special if you compare other English pubs this one is pretty run out, with dirty brown tables, boring interior and has very little space where you can sit with your friends and have a good time."
"Also the whole terrace was full of dirty dishes and glasses for the entire time we sat there (over two hours unfortunately)."
"The only thing that bothered me was the music. Somehow, it just didn't fit."
"It's so full and hard to walk around."
"Boisterous and compact pub."
"The way that both staff members rolled their eyes at me for asking a simple question about the menu was awful."
"In conclusion, Stay away! Staff looked over work and miserable and are very dismissive."
Food Quality
Pros:
"Had a great Saturday night meal here, had the traditional English Fish & Chips on our last night in the UK for this trip."
"The fish n chips are delicious with big portions."
"The fish and chips were top-notch - fish fried to perfection."
"We had large fish and chips was very tasty."
"I had cod and chips and it was simply fantastic, take a look at the picture."
"Best authentic food in Bayswater area. Highly recommend the steak and ale pie for £13.49 and the fish and chips."
"Fish & Chips really good. Had the chicken tikka as well."
Cons:
"I would not have given that to my dog - god rest his soul."
"Worst breakfast I've ever had. Sausages were literally uncooked and raw, the eggs were uncooked as the raw egg white covered the entire plate."
"The roast beef was old and as tough as leather."
"The food wasn't good at all, the fish was without any kind of seasoning even salt."
"Overpriced tourist trap. Food is average at best."
"The food was beyond poor and wouldn’t even equate to a microwave meal."
"The Vegan Pulled Mushroom Chili wasn’t that good. Spicy but other than that not much taste."

"Very friendly busy pub. Happy and carefree staff that really know how to run a bar and entertain people waiting to buy drinks."
Cons:
"Not tourist friendly at all. AVOID! Five people cut in line and after the bartender finally acknowledged me, he calls me to the other end of the counter BUT he still let some other guy cut in line again, ignoring me again, claiming he was pretty sure he was sure he was first!"
"We didn't get past the very rude staff member who saw we were with my 89 year old Dad in a wheelchair."
"AWFUL place!! Woman at bar was so rude nearly made me cry."
"Creditcards stolen from wallet in handbag while eating and handbag was hanging on the side of my chair."
"Some of the staff was great, but the female bartender was inebriated, messed up our order several times, and was rude."
"Staff is annoyed and unfriendly."
"Not worth rating this pub, bar manager very rude and aggressive."
Price and Value
Pros:
"Prices were reasonable (pint of fruit cider and a bottle of desperado cost £12.55)"
"Crowded pub, but no one waited longer than 1 minute to get served. Will definitely go to this pub again. Great prices, too."
"Visited this pub several weeks ago, good selection of real ale available... This being a Taylor Walker public house, CAMRA members get 10% discount off real ale, better still."
Cons:
"Including the tip that I feel duped into paying, it was very pricy."
"As everyone knows pub food is not the cheapest anymore. I would highly recommend to save your money."
"Just popped in for a quick pint. Yes I know its London but but £7.05 for a pint of Madri?? Wow."
"Standard Greene King pub. Nothing special... It was £9.05 for 1 pint and a bottle of non-alcoholic beer."
"Service in this pub was nothing short of pathetic and they charged like a wounded bull for a pint."
"Not to mention the prices are disgusting when you look at what garbage has been served on your plate."
"How bloody awful and they have the cheek to charge £17 quid for this."
