• "The roast potatoes were full of oil and were rock hard, the Yorkshire pudding was completely rock hard and burnt and the lamb was so so chewy."

• "Steak was overcharged and when we asked the bill came very late and they gave us the wrong bill."

Accessibility & Inclusivity

Pros:

• "It’s the most accessible and inclusive pub in Bermondsey."
• "Location was ideal with the buses to Liverpool st and Tower bridge right on our doorstep."
• "We stayed in room 5 which was a quadruple room on the top floor. It was very spacious and nice and clean."

• "Rooms are nice but no air conditioning and the water pressure isn't brilliant."
• "Stayed here for 2 nights, very basic room, comfy bed, but for £50 A night in London.... what do you expect?"

• "There are no en-suites with three WC facilities shared over the two floors."
• "We'll probably end up going a price range up next time in order to have a more hotel-experience with toilets and showers in the room."
• "You have to share the bathrooms because each room doesn't have."
• "We spoke to the manager, he didn’t let my partner finish his sentence and rudely said he’s mumbling."
• "The way the owner is treating his employees is truly disgusting."
• "Visited on a Saturday night at 730pm. Venue was about half full, but there was consistently a long wait for food."
