   We booked a table for 8pm. The restaurant area of the pub was very busy and it took ages to get served: staff ignored us instead of one coming over and apologising and saying bear with us. Also took us ages to get the bill - so long we were tempted to walk out. The menus was restricted -sold out of choices, so if you go here worth going earlier. Understandable when late in a pub but far less understand was lack of condiments. No salt on the table and when we asked for some the first mill brought to us was empty. That’s really poor - checking every table has a working salt mill is surely basic.

   Hi Catherine, Many thanks indeed for taking the time to leave us a review, I'm sorry we didn't quite get it right on this occasion. Indeed, it was an incredibly busy day with the unseasonal sunshine and post football match rush. Summer levels of trade on winter levels of staff is always going to be challenging, and although we called in all available bodies it's still nowhere near enough. Although the waiter is very experienced it is only his second week here, so again I'm sorry if he wasn't quite quick enough, it does take a little time to learn the ropes. The table certainly did have both salt and pepper at the beginning of the day, so it is a rather sad by the time of your visit one of these had gone missing. We do hope you'll give us another chance. Kind regards, Ian Wright, GM

   Hi Robert, Many thanks indeed for taking the time to leave us a review, I'm sorry your visit didn't live up to expectations. Pre the Brentford football game with the unseasonably warm weather did mean that service was stretched, though I'm glad to see that you were able to be seated, have your meal and drinks and be out in just over an hour. When time is of the essence I have to say the kitchen and front of house teams did superbly to achieve this for the supporters, serving a drink or food item every 15 seconds is a remarkable acheivement on what you rightly point out, is winter levels of staff. Unfortunately we can't hire people in February, train them and give them fair hours on the off chance there will be a sunny spell in the first week of March. Kind regards Ian Wright, GM

   Excellent menu and meals in a good atmosphere. Good selection of beers, as always, but our server was clearly new and didn’t know anything about what was available… we knew the regular ales and plumped for that.

   Hi John, Many thanks indeed for leaving us a great 4 star review and for your comments about the food and atmosphere. Indeed, we had a couple of new team members on Saturday, with the football and sunshine we got as many bodies as we could in, and we still could have done with more! I'm glad that overall you enjoyed your experience though. Kind regards, Ian Wright, General manager.

   3 burgers we had were excellent . Unfortunately , the pork and lamb roasts had far too much gravy swamping the plates . Hummus , bread and olives were vary tasty . Next time , i will ask for gravy on the side .

   when arrived very noisy loud wih kids running and screaming and shouting later they left. In an afternoon on Saturday which we tried to be earlier and had called to see if can go even earlier we were told quiet but that is ok. Service great but each staff seemed mostly in such rush but last one asked if all ok. many thanks. Food compared to price is too high but that is most pubs. At least they have different and more food on the menu. Portions quite small especially sea bass but tastes great.
