  An old British pub with a lively atmosphere which serves great food. But I found the service to be a terrible mess. True it was a busy Sunday night, but there got to be a better way to mange any eatery. This is a pub, so the usual practice is to order food at the bar counter which was then supposed to reach the correct table. But while I was there, the servers were continually mixing up the orders with people being served dishes that was meant for someone else. What’s worse, by 9 PM the restaurant had run out of most of the dishes which they never managed to tell the patrons at the time of ordering. I had to change my order twice. Ten minutes after ordering Ham hock I was told that it was not available. I then went for the lamb and another ten minutes passed before they informed me that it was not available either. I saw one family with two kids leaving the place when after an half hour wait they were told that NOTHING is available. I too was on the verge of giving up and walking out when some fish and chips somehow landed on my table. But all the anger and frustration melted away rather quickly as the warm, moist, flaky, white fish melted away in my mouth. It was divine. It was simply the best fish and chips that I came across in London and I did try it at a number of different places. Not only was the fish better than what one normally expects from pubs, it was better than other speciality fish & chips restaurants. Then they offered me a dessert for free, just as a way of saying sorry. So the evening which started with utter chaos, ended in a sweet note. This restaurant can rank a lot higher, if the management can find a way to better manage this place.
