About

Owners Nicholsons appear to have spent a packet transforming this Thames-side former tea warehouse – where museum founder Frederick Horniman dealt in finest Assam – into a shiny new approximation of an haute-Victorian gin palace. A Darjeeling and cream colour scheme, tanned leathers, burnished metals and crystal chandeliers set the scene for a range of premium gins. Savour all the usual superior suspects along with new worthies such as Star of Bombay and Chase’s Williams GB Extra Dry (perfect in a Dry Martini). Ales from Wokingham’s Siren and Brewdog’s Nanny State head a cast of domestic and foreign craft beers and West Country ciders – and you’ll be pushed to spend over £20 on a wine list that also has Moët for just £37.50. Familiar comfort food is served throughout the day: pea and broad bean soup; bacon, bubble and squeak; mac 'n' cheese; salads; mixed grill; followed by brownies, tarts or profiteroles.

RACIST BARMAIDS

The bar was not very busy, there were 3 barmaids, i was at the front. None of them looked at me. I stood there for 15 min, they were all trying to avoid to serve me. Suddenly, one barmaid, who was standing just in front of me asked "who is next" while looking over me and served the people behind me. I am mixed race, tan skin, the people behind me were white. Once she has served them and as there was nobody else apart from me, she left, refusing to serve me (because of the colour of my skin). Another barmaid stood there looked at me, with a hostile look, did not speak to me, did not even say "hi" or "what would you like", she just looked at me. I just gave my order, finally got served after 25min although there were not many people and I have been standing there, in front of the bar for 25 min. I ordered the first round. I was with 2, white, friends. My friends, who are white, ordered the second and third rounds. It was more busy when they ordered yet they both were served within 5 min. I work near that place, and go out often for drinks with colleagues. It was the first and last time I ever step foot in this place. The barmaids are racist. If you are not white, go spend your money elsewhere.
