Held a party in the private room upstairs for 80 people. The staff could not be more helpful with my requests and planning needs. In the night we had a great event with everyone looked after and a relaxed atmosphere. There is a good vibe going on downstairs and it is worth checking out what events might be on at the same time. Ours were a perfect complement. Can’t wait until they serve food as well.

Booked their upstairs room for an event and had a great experience - their deposit and minimum spend are very reasonable and you can order pizza from Yard Sale which they help to organize. Communication was good and everything was smooth on the night. Lovely staff and definitely recommend!

Traditional pub with a small outside space for vapers/smokers. Didn't have their food but you can order to be delivered there and they don't mind. Nicer upstairs where it's less busy. They also have a bar upstairs so no need to go up and down.

Loving the newly renovated pub, only downside and it's a big no-no is the communal toilets. Women's cubicles are theoretically suppose to be on the right and the men's on the left, but I found the men were using the women's toilets. Seats were left up with wee on the bowl and floor and men were using the cubicles as if they were using urinals and not closing the door. It was a deeply unpleasant experience. Whoever thought of this design is an idiot and obviously male!

AWFUL, me and 2 friends went and it was £5 to get in just to be swarmed by weird gross men who don’t understand no. Then when we left and told the manager he said “well if you don’t come and tell us what are we supposed to do”, even though staff were inside and didn’t do anything. Don’t go here it’s just a dark small room filled with disgusting men :)

Absolute hole, and not in a fun way. £7 to get in on a Friday and it's just the tiny ground floor of a pub with the tables removed and a DJ playing the blandest dance music imaginable. No one was dancing. Corners gaffer taped together and sanitary bins in the ladies overflowing (and there were only about 4 women in the place, so that wasn't recent)

They won’t offer a tab, manager seems not to know what one is, and if you take drinks outside and come back to one you left behind the bar… expect them to have given it to someone else and wait 5+ mins for a replacement.

First time here. It's a typical pub on the eastern border of the City. Good vibe, I liked it, I can imagine it can really kick off as the night progresses, but I'll never know as it had been a long week and I didn't stay late. The pizzas being served looked great. I could easily be tempted back again...

The Horse and Groom is a cozy pub and b&b located in gorgeous Chichester. I had the pleasure of staying there for a night and I must say It was everything I could have asked for ! The room was very clean, nicely decorated with a comfortable bed, big shower and all basic amenities. Most importantly I had a great night sleep being in the countryside. The food was the real highlight for me. The menu itself paired with fresh and locally sourced produce was impressive! I had the egg and asparagus for starters (amazing) and ribeye steak as main, as well as some ice cream and brownie for dessert. All three were delicious and I can't wait to visit again !

Me and my friend went here on a Saturday night, having heard good things about it. Let me say first that the staff were perfectly pleasant, but the customers...wow. Several people insisted on dancing even though the pub was packed and there was no room to move, and not just the self-restrained kind of dancing you do in a rammed pub but more 'I'm a regular, I virtually own the place, I'm swinging my arms all over the place and I don't give a hoot about you' dancing. A lot of my beer got knocked over me just standing in the only space available. I tried to walk away to get away from the spillages...asked a man to 'excuse me' three times'. When he finally let me through he told me condescendingly that 'if I'd just asked nicely he would have no problem letting me past'. It seems if you are not a regular in here the customers who are don't want you to stay. I actually joked to my friend afterwards that it was like the 'you're not local' characters from the League of Gentlemen. I've never felt so unwelcome in a pub before.

Interesting venue. From the outside it looks like a small pub, but once you get inside, it was more akin to a club, albeit a small intimate club. You have to be in that mindset to listen to thumping house/techno and dance, and not want to have good old chat. Improvements, fix the air conditioning unit upstairs as after a little while, it was like a sweat box. The drinks are expensive enough so at least fix things that do not work.

I went here on a Friday night, it was free entry and they have a good sound system playing electronic beats mostly. However the music was not too crazily loud that I could still chat to my mates. Drink prices were standard and were acceptable to me given that the sound system was good, nice people and good ambience. Hence overall I think it's a good venue.

One of my favourite places in London. I love the atmosphere, people, and music here. I love how it's the only old pub standing and surrounded by new developments. It really reminds me of a similar establishment back in N. Macedonia, super artistic and alternative, that was sadly shut down. My only complaint with this place is the security guys who are unnecessarily tense and rude. Otherwise it would be 5*.

Had Sunday lunch there , it was deeply disappointing. An, at best, average roast but with grim meat and served stone cold. Add in rude staff, tense ambience and grotty surroundings , it’s really not worth the cost. When there are so many fabulous Sunday lunch spots in london there is no reason to choose this one. Mothering Sunday and the restaurant was not quite half full, speaks for itself. I’m not surprised !
