The Crown & Greyhound is undoubtedly a lovely pub in a great location and is perfect for a pint after a walk through the park. However, over the last few months I've noticed that things have started to slip quite drastically. Different ales often run out, service is slow (without a smile), plates are never cleared up (particularly in the garden during the summer) and the quality of the staff leaves a lot to be desired. I realise that many of them might be students but you would at least expect them to actually notice who is next in the queue, smile and have at least an idea about the drinks they are serving. The place really is resting on its laurels.

Just out of interest, I presume the Crown and the Plough are the same brewery, or food supplier, as the menus look the same- food, design etc is this right? Went in the White Hart in CP at the weekend too and they had a very similar designed menu with very similar food. All nice pubs but I get a bit tired of seeing the same old menus.

Well Bon3yard, it serves you right for looking like a Russian billionaire.

Hope you got that Osborne gadgy to belly up to the bar and get a few in, before revealing yourself.

I also hope that was a single entendre.

They were amongst the most disgusting things I've ever eaten, as indeed was the whole "meal" they accompanied :-S


I'd take a lot of persuasion ever to have Sunday lunch at the Dog again ......

Yes - I agree the Herne food is fantastic and has been for some time, regular menu changes too. However it is ideal for families as the garden is a play area, so if you are not keen on kids in pubs then maybe not for you, but if like me you have young children tis ideal, they can play safely while you finish your food/beer.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
