Went here for a Sunday roast on my own here. As soon as the ‘beef roast dinner’ was plonked in front of me, in what I can only describe as a school-like hall with shocking furniture, I instantly felt ill. The ‘beef’ was a cheap bit of steak, leathery, like an old persons skin that had been overexposed to the sun. I couldn’t even cut through it. The gravy must have come out of a packet as it was still powdered when poured over my dinner. The roast potatoes, nothing special. The veg was obviously frozen packet veg, barely even heated in a microwave. And the aunt bessies Yorkshire puddings were really the icing on top of the cake. I didn’t eat a bite of the food and I wouldn’t have paid, but pa...
Called on Thursday to book a space for Saturday. Was told they had received another enquiry who hadn’t yet paid a deposit. Told to call back later that day when they confirmed the other party had cancelled so the space was mine. Called again Friday to confirm this and arranged when I would pay deposit. Went Saturday morning and paid £100 deposit (despite telephone agreement it was £50). Arrived that evening to be told the other party had turned up and were using the room, and that actually they had paid the deposit and confirmed “ages ago”. No apology given from staff who blamed the other party for turning up and not themselves for double booking. Had made no attempt to call me to tell me th...
This place has a roof top bar which seems great, however there was a member of staff who aggressively shouted at my friend and I when we wanted to check out if there was space to sit up on the roof. She again shouted at my friends when they were about to go upstairs a bit later... I explained to her that they were only going upstairs to find us seats whilst I bought them drinks but the way she addressed it was just so off-putting. Perhaps she was just stressed out as it was a Friday evening but her tone seemed pretty unprofessional. Shame as it could be such a good space without the bad energy.
Small local pub first, that turned out to be trendier than it looked from the outside. We were amused at frightening the locals with our UV'd and glittery faces, and we did get some looks, but it was fine. And lo, some fellow party goers (you could tell from their attire), arrived shortly after. I think we may have found one of the very few places left in Hoxton to get two drinks for under a tenner! And they had comfy sofas, the bar is tiny, like sitting in somebody's lounge. Win. Reserve uma mesa agora
Staff were such a mess... which made it funny. Lost our reservation, insulted people who asked for non alcoholic drinks, picked up cups with their mouths before serving us with them, generally abrasive customer service! Also tried to over charge for drinks, or insisting they were paid in cash when they had a fully functional card machine.... Every time someone went to the bar, they came back with a story which is why this is getting a second star! Definitely an experience.
The best place to start and finish when you travel from stanstead to liverpool st. Great burgers (the best we had in london, but we might just pick the wrong places nevertheless, these were very good). Staff very nice, prices decent. Recommend to everyone.
With a £10 pizza and pint how could you go wrong!! Terrific rooftop garden which is surprisingly spacey, pizzas are actually very nice considering the price. Staff are friendly. A very well priced place considering everything else in the are is expensive.
