No, no, no, no.....It's a pub, and sorry, but pubs are not places for Kids, especially of the sort that are not controlled. I nearly left one night because of rampaging kids. Sit quietly and have a meal and a drink as a family, but not running about. OK, not Jamie's fault, (We've chatted, nice chap) parents need to be more responsible but please at 9 at night....NAH! My one comment on improvement would be to fit dimmer switches to the place, or have slightly waremer coloured light bulbs, it's all to clinical, and a bit like an operating theatre. Oh, and a sound system that's not a ?40 cd player for a bedroom. Sorry, to have to say that but I really want to support it, I'm a real ale fan, and want to support loca business, but struggle with the place at the moment. My 2p worth, hope I've not offended. E

Hi All, I've been to Hoopers now a couple of times, and I don't know why, but the place is just souless. OK, it's off the Lordship Lane drag, and was a bit scary when it was the Ivanhoe, but looks like it shoudl be OK. Anyone else been there and got any opinions? E
