Palmerston Pub


Recommended Posts

We were disappointed with our meal at the Palmerston Pub on Lordship Lane the other night. Although the food was mostly good, it is over-priced. Four of us spent almost ?100 altogether for only one main course each and 1 1/2 pints of beer (two of us drank tap water). The chips were far too salty, the portions were relatively small, and the bread that was served at the start was indifferent and came with butter that was far too cold! On top of this, one of the waiters spilled water over me, gave only a vague apology and didn't mop up the spillage properly. I'm afraid that this just isn't good enough for the prices that they are charging.

I too have only ever had good experiences with the food there. The portions are small because most of the dishes are a delicacy...who needs a large plate of oysters or foie gras? Good things come in small packages.


And as for the waiter spilling water on you, did you even give them a chance to apologise properly? In my experience dropping anything on a customer makes me nervous and I would need a few seconds to calm down before apologising and if someone was automatically rude and started to huff and puff, my apology would be less whole hearted when I finally got round to doing so.

    • So have you never been in a house where the gas hob was turned on but not ignited?  You get a smell of gas,  You do not get an explosion when you light the flame.   You have to have a very high concentration of methane (over 4.4%)  for this to happen, the smell of the gas would be obvious half way down the street.  They add mercaptans to natural gas to give it that smell at very low concentrations.   Gas explosions happen once in a blue moon, in places like residential homes in the basements where, if unchecked, a leak can get up to explosive concentrations.   Back to my original comment about Bunsen burners.  You'd got 30 kids in a classroom but no explosions.   The establishment of Corgi (now Gas Safe) and the compulsory annual testing of boilers and cookers was mainly due to the relatively high number of deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning from faulty appliances and blocked flues in rented properties. I don't expect the OP to test it themselves, I would, but that his my decision.  But you may get Natural Grid to do this free of charge if you ask nicely. I thought the video was hilarious.  The guy shouts don't do this yourself, call in help.
