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.

Ordered fish and chips that showed ‘ Home made batter’ on Sunday 5th November. The dish arrived, l immediately noticed the batter looked flat and dark brown in appearance which l thought was a frozen product. The chips looked good and feeling hungry l decided...to ignore the fact this is a frozen product and cut into the fish which felt tough, l then touched the fish and noticed it was cold (Still frozen). I politely said to the manager who immediately said’ What do you want me to do about it’?’ ; try an apology first of all! The attitude of the attitude of the ‘ manager’ or excuse for an employee with a glorified title stunk worse than the frozen fish! The fish was served still frozen; l can’t imagine how sick this would have made me. Terrible food and attitude of pretend manager!More

I’ve never used trip advisor in my life before but I really felt the need to here. When you hear so much about how the service industry is in decline and pubs are closing left right and centre I was really surprised at how bad...our experience was this afternoon. The lady behind the bar was rude, the food - although cheap - was not great and the beer was not kept well. When someone sitting at the bar called us “weirdos” for ordering food at slightly different times that really was the decider for me on leaving this review. Made to feel thoroughly unwelcome and uncomfortable. Must try harder Adelaide.More

We travelled across London (ok from se3) to meet friends here for Sunday lunch … it was totally worth the drive. Firstly it’s a nice looking classic pub, clean and tidy and not subjected to the ott make over of many pubs these days. Secondly...the staff are on it quick at the bar and the lady who looked after us (May be the owner) was really good at remembering how we liked our drinks. Thirdly the Sunday lunch was delicious. I had the vegi option with all the trimmings with a nut roast which was delicious (not the dry lump you often get !) all the veg was yum and it was a lovely size portion ..it was like having it at home but no washing up and better beer .. the rest of our table had meat and there was nothing left on the plates :) It very reasonably priced for the size and quality, it also has a lovely beer garden and is really near Bushy park So you can walk it off after.More
