Is it just me or do the staff in the Bish have a personality defect?


Actually, I know it's not just me as friends agree. When I go in and ask for a drink(s) it's almost as if I have asked them to bend over while I roger them senseless. Their only aim seems to be to look cool and moody.


This hasn't always been the case. I remember a time when they actually seemed to be having fun behind the bar and this came across their service. I think the slump in customer service coincided with Joe, a previous bar manager, moving to their Balham pub.


I have been going regularly to the Bish since it opened but unless the staff cheer up and try saying 'hello' once in a while, I may have to take my drinking habit elsewhere!

What irritates me about the Bishop is that they only serve half pints in those old fashioned jug glasses. So 1970s. So each time I go in there they have to then repour my drink into a wine glass or similar. Everyone I talk to feels the same so please please please Bishop invest some dosh and buy some decent half pint glasses. Suppose I could just bring my own glass!

It's not a north/south thing. Lots of northerners think the dimpled glass + handle is a southern thing in any case.


It is a "not giving a toss what someone should think of you because the bar you are in has a type of glass that offends your own self-image" type of thing.


The guy that runs the Bishop posts on here on occasion. At least he'll be getting a giggle.

    • Emirates Stadium is  >60,00 but they tend to be very quiet 🙂 Jokes aside though, it's a case in point. Highbury was <40,000 and was 300M up the road, so there are definitely Islington residents who used to live half a mile from a fairly big football stadium, and now live right by a massive one. One that holds rock/pop concerts too accomodating 70,000 fans whether they like ot or not.   40% of Islington households are in social housing so regardless of when they moved their current homes, they may have had little say in exactly where they are housed.   
    • St Christopher's only take books in perfect condition. 
    • This is where I sit too. A two day event is bearable. Three tests my tolerance. Finding the right balance on size, noise and impact is where I contribute to the consultation process. BUT, as I wrote elsewhere, every year the GALA organisers ask/ push for more, and deals have already been done with the council before it gets to public consultation stage. It is also worth pointing out that when a licence was first granted, the orgnaisation was different (We Are the Fair), one of the company directors lived literally next to the park (she left when it became GALA) and the current form bears no resemblance to original ethos/ vision sold to the council and licensing committee. This needs to be pointed out and I am fairly confident local councillors would also support a pushback on any further expansion. We have local elections next year, so councillors ears will be open.
    • Niko was really great. He fixed my blocked shower very quickly, was great at communicating and a lovely guy to talk to. And he doesn't charge the earth!
