Pretty awful brunch


B777

Recommended Posts

We had heard that Pretty's on North Cross Road was great for brunch. We went today and it took an hour for our food to arrive and when it did we had to send it back as it was awful. The guys running it seemed nice enough but not very good at running what was a quiet restaurant! We heard after leaving that it was under new management. They really need to up their game in terms of the quality of the food and the service. Good luck to them but we will not be going back!

Prettys used to serve fantastic food. It is now truly awful. Today I had a small place instead of a saucer with my tea and our drinks were served with the waiter's finger dipped in it. The fish fingers in my sandwich appeared to have been fried. And burned too. Everything we ordered was wrong in some way. Steer clear. I've never sent food back before but when I did I was simply told sorry with no attempt to make amends (albeit I was not charged). We waited an hour too. Seriously dreadful. What a shame.
I've had really lovely food at prettys a but not been for a while (not since any change in management). We've always enjoyed their paninis and sandwiches, as well as the juices from next door. We've found the service a little slow in the past but not been deterred to the extent that we wouldn't go back- in face we have enjoyed our trips there. Thanks for the feedback though.

    • To defend the new incarnation of the Dartmouth Arms for a moment - it's not really a pub any more, it's a burger restaurant and is pretty decent at that.  It was pretty crap when it was a pub.
    • There are some bins in the park specifically for dog poo with lids you have to lift. I never use them because the idea of touching the lids makes me want to hurl. 
    • There surely must be a way to make the bins foxproof whilst still allowing for bags to be put into them. Some kind of latch which couldn't be opened by fox paws? I suppose they would just get vandalised 🙄
    • I stopped going to the EDT when I was meeting a friend there one afternoon last year. The place was empty except for me, and the bar staff suddenly put on awful music,  really loudly. When I politely asked them to turn it down a bit, they turned it up. I took my pint outside, and when my friend arrived we went to the Palmerston instead. Haven't been back there since. Well, can't now anyway 🤣 When I said it was iconic, the emphasis was on the "was". It was once genuinely quirky, before they started messing about with it. It was different from the other ED pubs at the time, which were - without any exception I can think of except maybe the Castle  - awful. The Castle later went through a sticky patch when they kicked out the lovely manager who had been there for years and brought in someone who wasn't exactly welcoming. We put some stuff on the juke box, which after a couple of tracks was turned off from the bar (with our money in it) and the worst kind (my opinion only, obviously) of sentimental Irish music put on instead, at full volume. How to win friends and ensure your customers come back 🤣 Luckily the manager changed again, and all the staff there now are lovely ❤️ I really hope the Castle doesn't get gentrified (or the Blythe, but that's not in East Dulwich,  so less at risk, I would have thought?)
