UPDATE: The pub has responded in a professional manner... thank you. That's the way to go. So yes, I would be happy to try again.

We had supper in the upstairs dining area on the evening of 4 March. A friendly guy greeted us as "my lovelies", which made us laugh, and he took our order quickly. The first jarring note came when another waiter arrived, didn't say a word, and slammed a wine bucket and three glasses on to the table so hard that we thought they would break. It felt like we were part of a Candid Camera sketch, and we were quite shocked. I didn't react because I didn't want to spoil my daughter's birthday. He was clearly having a bad night, and would probably benefit from an anger management class.
Then, the food. My chicken schnitzel was rock-hard and dry, and my wife's "medium-rare" steak bled all over her plate (I swopped meals with her...again, to maintain a positive atmosphere).
Here's the thing: we are not culinary Karens, and are usually happy with regular pub fare. But that meal was especially yucky.

Typical pub, but a bit on the noisy side from my taste. The queue at the bar is very slow. For a place of this size they should have more than one counter

It’s lively and fun on a Tuesday night, they were playing Eurythmics when we walked in then George Michael. The Deya was good too, what’s not to love!

Nice enough upstairs (I'd reserve a table). Dimly lit, decent, non-overbearing music. Incredibly underwhelming choice of beers. Bland and uninspiring.

Thoroughly good experience for our lunch and chats off the main drag of busy London streets. Great banter with the staff with the food being turned around in 10 minutes and did exactly what we expected.
Hot food, well prepared, well seasoned and well presented can fall under the timeless banner of simple menu, done well.
In an age of the paralysing 'paradox of choice' menus that span the world but struggle to deliver a meaningful eating experience, the less is more approach is alive and well, and our lunch all the better for it.

Stopped off her for a drink en route elsewhere. Pub was packed as rugby was on but we found a seat and I was really impressed with how quick the service was the bar was despite the crowds. Clientele were all really friendly too.

The staff treated us as though we were interrupting their evening.
We ordered a starter and main - and they all came out together.
The place was full and the atmosphere was lovely, but the service absolutely let the place down ...
Maybe they only like locals?
