My friends and I have met in this pub for years with no issues however, on Tuesday we were bitterly disappointed with the food we were presented with. We ordered the squid starter, chicken strips, nacho sharer and rosemary and salt fries. The food was cold when it arrived. The portions were inadequate for the price paid. The food was returned after we expressed our disgust and fresh food supplied. Portions inadequate, little topping on nachos with cheese sauce used, as opposed to proper cheese., and minimal slivers of jalapeños. The salsa was more like ketchup. There was no rosemary or salt on the fries and the squid was 4 tiny pieces with garnish as a disguise. We raised concerns about the food with the staff and were advised they were sorry but couldn't do anything about it, so why apologise!. In these unprecedented times when we are encouraged to support the pubs and restaurants to keep them viable do not charge your customers increased prices for inadequate food . Treat your customers with respect and stop taking advantage of them. We will not purchase food here again. Very poor
We visited here for the first time yesterday and have to say we were left disappointed. Overall as a group of 9 we spent around £200 or more on food and drinks but the food was below average and very overpriced . A portion of chips here which was around 10-15 chips served in a miniature pie dish of all things was £2.79. Absolutely disgraceful . I wish I had taken a picture but if anyone gets these from here you will see what I mean. We went to order the nacho sharer but was told they'd run out of nachos but judging by a photo of these on another person's review I'm pleased we didn't get it.The chicken sharer platter was average but not enough to share overall. A single person could eat that easily. We also had to take our own empty glasses to the bar twice as nobody came round. There were only a few members of staff who seemed bothered to be there to be honest , the others had miserable faces and didn't look interested. We got there an hour after opening yet every cubicle in the ladies toilets didn't have any toilet roll . It was rectified after telling the staff but surely this should be a normal check before opening up! Also the male toilets had no toilet roll and had wee all over the floor. The general cleanliness was poor . A member of our party had ordered a gin and had to take the same glass back for a refill as we were told they didn't have enough glasses. Would like to say we would come back here but it's definitely not value for money and the general cleanliness was bad so unfortunately I doubt we will.
Was at the junction for the England vs France apart from the result overall had a great time. Service was fast and drinks were well priced with student discount. Would definitely recommend for uni students especially.
I visited this pub today because it is very near to haymarket bus station. I was hungry and after my first visit couple of weeks ago I was looking forward to a good standard meal. I'm afraid this meal fell flat before it hit the table. Service I received excellent white ordering and delivered to my table. However my mushy peas extremely dry and had a coating over them which looked like they has been overheated. My fish was very hard yo get at as batter very hard and fish minute once got through. Very disappointing for price I paid and even half lemon was burnt.
