The lack of proper distancing and the rudeness of the staff were also very disappointing. Overall, we will not be returning to this establishment.

The staff was exceptionally friendly and competent (especially the black top white waitress [of 1 September 2020] and made our anniversary dinner even more special than it already was.The atmosphere and decoration were absolutely magnificent. Very different from any place I've been in before (and I've lived in East London for a few years, and I'm so sick of 'we're different for the simple fact of being different, so we only serve fried sweet potatoes and if you don't wear a hat inside, we won't serve you the vibe, but they managed to nail the balance of the old classic English pub with their own unique style.

The very friendly staff and the ideal place to get in, the beer was not as cold as it should have been, so the bartender asked me if I wanted to try another beer, I did it and it was great, so he changed them, no problems, no fuss, everything with a smile. All year long.

However, the parsnips could use some more cooking time to crisp up.
