Terrible roast beef dinner

I read that this was a great place for a roast dinner online in The Londonist . I don t know what The Londonist is but I get the impression it might be a place that people who make bad roast dinners, pay to say they make good ones?

Roast potatoes were bought perhaps from someone called Bessie? They claimed the Yorkshire Pudding was Cod-made . I think they call themselves The Cod and so you d think they d made it but I think the chef has gone to Aldi to buy the Yorkshire.

And the beef, well I always think consistency is good when it comes to restaurants. All four of our roast beefs had an uppermost slice that was a decidedly different colour to the rest, verging on black. I really have no idea how you achieve that effect. It wasn t that it was from the outside of the joint.

Vegetables were also consistent as though they had been sliced by the Aldi robot not a human.

Toilet-wise my wife was the only one who braved it and she said the toilet brush was black.

Over many years there has been a gradual decline in quality of service, but the most recent trip proved how far they've fallen. I booked for 8 people well in advance (four weeks) and they'd even taken my card number before deciding that it wasn't necessary to take a booking fee unless we were going to be nine. I left my mobile number and then heard nothing, so assumed all was well. On the day, we arrive promptly to be told there is no reservation. A more senior manager came to deal with it, but kept having to be prompted during the conversation to explain the situation (thinking seemed to cause talking to cease!) We waited about an hour before being seated at our table. We were offered drinks but frankly at that stage I'd have preferred a serious discount as we'd had enough whilst waiting on an empty stomach. When seated, we explained that one of our party needed to leave soon, so his meal had to be prioritized to come before everything else - I checked this was understood (nods of agreement). The rest ordered starters, and after a wait the starters arrived but not the priority meal! Duly informed them to get it. Then later our drinks order was messed up - four different drinks became one order of four of the first pint... But we realised it was beyond the point of fixing. I will not be going back, and I'd advise anyone thinking of eating there to give it a wide berth.
If you're still not put off, the food is pretty average but not cheap, and it's normally very busy round the bar (perfect if you like a scrum but not good for a relaxing pint)

Initially great service, the food very nice and nicely presented inside too. But the service trailed off quite dramatically from the point we were given dessert menus, and we weren't well attended to. It seemed like the staff weren't commucating with each other, and we were waiting for attention a number of times. A shame as it was initially good.

It is hidden away in a small alley of Chelsea and has all the features of an authentic pub.
Good food, good service, good beer and quiet.
If you go outside happy hour, when it gets busy and busy the place is so quiet that you lose track of time, and this one block from Sloane avenue and two blocks from Fulham road.

What a shame how far this place has fallen. Standards have dropped so low that after many years of coming we have decided to stop.

The bar staff turnover only reinforces how poor the management now must be.

Awful beer choice, no atmosphere, horrendously slow service, barren and desolate outdoor area (which once was lovely).

I'd ask the management to please listen to these one star reviews - the amount of them must say something!

Upmarket gastropub with reliable, hearty good pub food and extremely pleasant and efficient staff. The fish and chips are always immaculate, as are the burgers, and the Scotch eggs are outstanding. Also the artichoke soup was the best soup I've had in a pub for ages. The wines are reliable, if not exceptional, and the prices are very reasonable for the area.

Reviews for this pub seem to be generally good so we thought we'd try it. We were a group of four and I'd say the food was fairly average for the price although the portion size was decent. I was just expecting a little more 'gastro' I guess! And the service wasn't great. Perhaps it was because it was a Monday. The dining room was nice though!

the "cod", as the locals like to call it, has a fantastic layout that makes it the perfect place to meet for drinks after work. the food is decent for a quick impromptu bite. its tucked away on mossop street which is nice when the crowd spills out onto the quiet alley during the warm summer months.

My #1 pub in London! Visit this place literally every time I come to town. Very solid fish & chips and Sunday roasts. Other nibbles are delicious as well. A bit on the pricy side but it is expected in Knightsbridge. I usually come with my laptop to get some work done. Really appreciate the cleanliness, comfort, and friendly atmosphere.

Food was just okay. Waitress, however, was not interested in being polite or helpful. Took ages to acknowledge us, and at one point when my friend said "excuse me" in order to ask for a wine list, this waitress just held her finger up and then walked off. Dunno if it was her last day or something. But if it wasn't, it should have been. Terrible service.
