My partner and I came for a wine tasting, Shahn remembered me from my last visit and a brief moment buying a bottle of wine. Whatever he is paid is not enough he is personable, friendly and knowledgeable. Not only is he great at his job, but a great ambassador to the must brand that is 2nd to none, whatever he is paid is not enough, and any other members of staff would benefit from his tutelage. 5 stars, 3 of which are from Shahn alone.

I visited the restaurant for a Sunday lunch with a group of nine. In summary, I thought there were some good points, but we waited far too long for our food, which would mean I would not come to the Hub again with such a large group. The good points: • The set up and décor of the Hub is excellent and there has clearly been a lot of investment. • The staff were generally confident, friendly and responsive. • On the whole, the food was good and for the price, very comparable to other local Sunday lunches. Some things that didn’t go so well were: • We were a group of nine, who had pre-ordered. I had sent the final order around Friday lunchtime, so 48 hours before the booking. The table was booked for 12:15, whilst initial drinks orders were taken quite quickly, the starters did not arrive until 13:15. That is a far too big a gap, when we had pre-ordered. Given, we had pre-ordered, I would expect to be served quite quickly. You should be ready for us. The main courses didn’t arrive until 13:45, a full 90 mins after we had sat down. • When the pre-order was made, there were some comments on some of the orders. These has clearly not been picked up by the kitchen. Eg, I asked is my daughter could have some things from the bar menu. These needed to be ordered again which meant my daughter got served last after everyone had received their starters. There was also an issue with one of the cheeseburgers being initially very undercooked. • During the meal, we did ask if we would be served soon, only to be told we were next. It then took another 10 mins to get the food. It didn’t feel like there wasn’t enough capacity in the kitchen for the number of people in the restaurant. After all of these issues we refused to pay the service charge, which to his credit, the waiter had no issue with. As a comparison, we had gone to the another well known pub on the road to redbourn for a meal (10 people) before Christmas (23rd Dec). Again, given the size of the group, we were happy to pre-order. When we arrived, there was a print out of what we had ordered, so people could remind themselves. The staff also asked if there was anything additional to order at this point. We were served the starter within 15-20 mins of sitting down. This was a much better experience. So whilst there were some good points to the lunch, I wont be recommending the Hub as a place to go for Sunday lunch with a large group.

I visited Crussh café at Westminster Lodge Leisure Center when the center was only partially open due to covid restrictions. Inside the café was clean with plenty of sofas and coffee tables, as well as normal tables and chairs; outside there is an extensive veranda with views over the park. As the leisure center was only partially open the café was not busy; my cappuccino was expertly made (nice consistently and correct temperature). As Crussh aims to serve healthy food and drink, my favorite snacks were not available (kit-kat or blue ribbon biscuit) and a lot of snacks available were high protein, but there were bags of popcorn!

I get sandwiches and coffee here every week and I’m frequently amazed at how rude some of the staff are. Even when I am super polite the lack of basic customer service is notable. That said, there is at least one nice staff member and I am always relieved when she is on duty.
