Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Can't remember the last time I had such unfriendly service, bordering on rude, when ordering a drink from the guy at the bar. "Hi, how are you?" Grumpy look, nothing said. No "What can I get you?" or anything similar. "Looks like summer's over (it...was cold and raining)." Sullen look, maybe like I was speaking a foreign language. Ordered a pint. "Six twenty-five (or whatever it was)." "Sorry?" (Expecting a repeat but with "please" at the end.) Grumpier look. "Six twenty-five." Finished my drink and went somewhere else.More

Good experience, excellent service and good pub food. We all had fish & chips which was enjoyable. Service- have to say that it was outstanding- thank you.

The price for the product is criminal. I paid £21 for a tepid roast which consisted of one carrot, some uncooked sprouts, some quite nice potatoes and an overdone Yorkshire pudding. Extra veggies were £6 on top of that. My cousin paid for pigs in...blankets and received four disgusting cocktail sausages wrapped in bacon for £6. The waitress didn’t know the beer menu which is poor considering the choice is small. The place has a decent following and was relatively busy so for some it clearly ticks the boxes. But not for me. I’m still shocked by the cost. Also they add in a service charge which really annoys me. I’m a good tipper! Don’t assume I won’t tip! If you insist on adding on a shameful hidden cost then just do it up front and add it to the price on the menu! A very poor pub.More

We met here for a drink before heading out for a meal. The pub was quiet which was good for us. I had ginger beer but my friends had lager and bitter. We came back early evening but it was so busy that we didn't...stay.More

Popped in for a drink on our way to the cricket, 6 pints, £42, I assume they don't charge £7 a pint every day, but won't visit again.

It’s a bar in the center of town. The food was good, but the prices are on the high side. The drinks are in line with other pubs in the area.

We were enjoying a pleasant walk around St Johns Wood and called in The Duke of York for a drink. The Barman was in the wrong environment, he was miserable, expressionless and unwelcoming. I ordered a Coke and a Tonic Water and that seemed to...deepen his indignation. He served the coke in a glass and just put a bottle of tonic in front of us. I almost laughed and asked him for a glass. He silently nonchalantly slid a glass over. I didn't want to unsettle him further by asking for ice and lemon.More

Went here after the cricket, as you can imagine it’s quite busy on a match day which might suggest why the bar staff can seemingly say and do as they please, it’s pure arrogance. I gave a simple order to the man behind the bar:...1 Guinness, 1 Birra Moretti and a Vodka lemonade. My brother who was standing next to me, requested to add lime cordial to the vodka lemonade. We noticed the barman then grabbed a fourth cup and started pouring vodka into it. Realising that he’s misunderstood the request, we stopped him to avoid more waste. He slammed the cup down and began waving his arms around in a stroppy attitude infested meltdown. When I challenged his behaviour, another barman told me “watch it mate” and I was very much made to feel I had done something horribly wrong. It was one of them incidents that i wish I was recording. Mistakes happen. It was a busy bar on a hot day and I completely accept that…but Christ alive do not blame the customer for your mistake and then follow it up acting like a petulant brat, horrendous customer service in what was otherwise a nice bar.More

Visited here today for the first time. A nice little place but the member of staff with the Apollo 11 jumper who served us could do with some people skills. It’s not hard to smile and make new customers feel welcomed.

No Sunday roasts on offer as they had "supply issues ". The remaining menu offered...limited choice. 3 of us had burgers and they were NOT good !! We all have uncomfortable stomachs last evening and this morning. Not food poisining , but close !More

When we're in the area we always visit this pub. To be fair, it's always been brilliant. However, it's under new management and it's even better now. Nice wine list, not expensive. Good beers and they serve food too. The customer service is amazing. One...special feature I liked was, rather than bar staff all being behind the bar itself, a couple of them are out front roaming. When they spot you've nearly finished your drink they pop over and ask if you want another and they'll bring it over. Genius idea! Much more civilised. Saves having to stand at a bar waiting to be served. It's how they do things on the continent and I'm pleased the new management have started doing it here.More

Been coming here mainly during test matches for many years. Always good service and amazing food. A warm welcome by Enzo the previous manager. Went yesterday during the Test match. Poor wine choices, in fact half the wines on the list were unavailable. Wine served...in very cheap thin plastic glasses. Condiments stuffed into cheap plastic cups. Burger horribly dry and over done. Unfriendly staff and a new management team seemingly uninterested. COVID seems a convenient excuse but I doubt it! We won’t be going back.More

We visit St John's every few months for a special meal at Oslo Court and go into The Ordinance pub for pre/post meal drinks. However, The Ordinance had a sign up, not open until 1pm so we looked for somewhere else. Glad we did! This...place was amazing. The manager and staff are amazing! Good prices too for a wealthy part of town. The Manager is Greek and you certainly get that Greek taverna welcome you'd expect in Mykonos. Lovely man.More
