The Approach - Tower Hamlets

Rude egotistical staff who appear to think they are celebrities, appalling rudeness from them today in a half empty/half full venue with really uncomfortable seating. We will never set foot in this place again. To be told to get out of my way by someone carrying food whilst I'm standing in front of the only menu, on the wall and when I do move he opts to walk toward me rather than now go behind me (I'm reading the menu) to make me move again rather than take the shorter route behind me and then tell me I won't forget this, I could go on, it got worse.

Lovely local pub but very disappointing roast. Overcooked dry slices of beef. Lots of ok veg and Yorkshire pudding. All of this for £18.

It's really unfortunate, because this pub looks charming. We made a reservation for a roast dinner at 6pm on Sunday, when the website said the kitchen closes at 8pm, but there was no food available.

Visited this modern pub type place for a work farewell. Sat outside as was a lovely day- seating area was fine though became crowded and noisy but that seemed to add to the vibe. Inside the bar staff were friendly and service was quick. Inside seating area was a large quiet space , plenty of space. Food service was a bit hit and miss as servers did not know which table had ordered food. Pet friendly.

Five of us went for Sunday lunch. Those who had the pork belly enjoyed it, my lamb was overcooked and tough (no redcurrant jelly either) and one of us had small plates which were ok. The best bit of the meal was the draught beer and cider. Overall it was rather disappointing. Friendly staff though. Not worth the money. I went here a few years ago and it was very good. Perhaps Sunday lunch in covid times is a stretch too far.
