The Walcot 1830 in Lambeth

No cocinero Engreído y desagradable gerente sarcástico. Si él es el gerente. . . . es una pena. Después de mi pinta de cerveza y el vaso de vino de mi novia estaba sucio. Se ve más vacío cada vez que voy allí. Pero no voy a volver otra vez.

Acabo de ingresar como residente local mientras trabaja en la ciudad. Tengo entendido que recientemente se ha tomado este pub y que los propietarios tratan de obtener el equilibrio de lo que los clientes quieren. Normalmente no me gusta ir a los pubs solos, pero fue un magnífico día primaveral y no había espacio exterior en el apartamento. ¡Nos sentamos afuera disfrutando del sol y adentro una vez que el sol nos dejó al frío! Dama detrás del bar, entiendo que soy nueva dueña, la hermana era encantadora. . . muy amigable y notó que ella también cuidaba a un "chico vulnerable". . . . tarde agradable

I dropped in with a friend for a quick dinner; but we both left very disappointed and underwhelmed! I ordered chestnut soup which was perfectly OK. My friend ordered the smoked salmon with a soft boiled egg, but what arrived was cold salmon with a very cold hard boiled egg. It took more than 10 minutes to produce the salmon with a soft egg, which looked like it had been cooked in a microwave because the yoke had literally "exploded"........ very strange! For the main course we both ordered the 7-hour slow-roasted beef, it certainly sounded delicious. However, what was presented looked like a casserole, with 'tiny' pieces of chopped meat in a veggie/tomato type of sauce, with puree potatoes and red cabbage - the first mouthful revealed everything was straight out of the refrigerator!! The plates were taken away, apologies were made, and the waitress kindly offered us a small carafe of red wine as a gesture of good-will...... Eventually the main courses were re-presented: - the food was warm, but certainly could not have been described as hot, - i'm being generous in saying that there can't have been more than 50 grams of meat on each plate, - the beef certainly hadn't been cooked for 7 hours, - the best thing on the plate was the 1 table spoon of potato puree, - the tiny amount of cabbage was nondescript, - it was a very expensive plate of food for what it was! Having spent £60 (£30 each) we decided to cut our losses, declined dessert, paid and left quickly! The pub was busy but no one else was eating - so perhaps we should have taken the hint and had a pint and a packet of crisps instead! A ready meal from the supermarket down the road would have been preferable. At least I could have guaranteed a meal that was served hot, which tasted better, provided a sensible portion and would have cost 6x less!

A first time visitor to this stylish street corner pub near The Imperial War Museum. Enjoyed our roast dinners and drinks - the experience was enhanced by the attentive service. Slightly disappointed not to find any beers from nearby microbreweries on offer.

A nice pub with seating outside that has recently changed hands. A good range of beer with friendly and excellent service. The food was reasonable but nothing special. The flavours were good but the portion size for vegetables could have been bigger.
