Horse and Groom

What looks like quite a good place to drink on the outside, I'm afraid the same cannot be said once inside. The bar, tables and chairs are all very dated, which along with the sheer incompetence and rudeness of the bar staff, would explain the distinct lack of punters and atmosphere within this establishment. Despite it being a quiet Wednesday lunchtime the barmaid was far more interested in having a casual conversation with a friend of hers beside us at the bar. I can understand that there may sometimes be more important issues at hand than a couple of pints of lager, and that I will have to wait my turn if someone is at the bar before me, however, in this instance it was nothing short of rudeness. After being kept waiting for ten minutes at the bar for service we were then acknowledged with a very discourteous mime with a finger pointing upwards telling us to wait another minute. I have never come across anything so disrespectful in any other establishment that I have had the pleasure, or indeed displeasure, of drinking in over previous years. I was hoping to be able to comment on the quality of the beer, however, I can't as we were so disgusted we left without ordering.

A pretty nice pub located on the non trendy end of Curtain Road.

It often holds club nights and you can expect to hear some good electro music here. Prices are as you'd expect for a non west end london pub.
