No the best quality food or value. wife's haloumi wrap quite tasteless £15. Usual Unhealthy kids options, £7 for kids pizza and chips. My chicken pitta as OK. Unfortunately there was also some works going on with someone spray painting within the building. Stunk the bar out with the fumes. Not great for our new born baby.No issue with the service.Unfortunately not somewhere to return.

Wouldn't have gone if I had know there was a DJ ...He was very good with his music but too loud for older members in the party . We're not able to chat ?Kid-friendliness: Kids allowed and very friendly staffWheelchair accessibility: It's ground floor ... not sure about toilets

When I walk into a pub/bar that has two bar staff serving;one serving a single man,another serving a group of five I do not,1. expect to have to wait for service because the barperson is finishing off a conversation with the person they have just served.2. Then have to announce myself because the barperson has no clue if anybody at the,quiet,bar needs service.Fundamental,basic bar skills are endangered.I would go as far as to say they exist,purely through those individuals who still make themselves aware of 'their' bar. To ascertain who,in a quiet bar, needs serving next.This place is an attemt at a trendy,if London think hipster, bar.Very loud music.More expensive than other local pubs.

1st visit and certainly not the last. Was greeted by a polite waitress and taken to our table which was a booth (bonus). Ordered drinks which we received very quickly. The menu is a vast and full of variety once we had decided to order the waitress was straight to our table to take our order and talked through the menu in depth which was really appreciative. To sum up the place is really nice, food amazing and staff very polite and attentive

Fabulous! I went here with 3 friends for a post Christmas lunch which we extended to early evening drinks. Lovely decor, friendly, welcoming staff who were very accomodating, nothing was too much trouble. Perfect for a casual lunch, dinner or just drinks. Love the small plates option to make a selection of dishes to share or if you don't have a large appetite. Nice atmosphere, I will definitely be returning. It's a good idea to book at busy times. Lots of seating outside on warm days

We met my cousin & her husband here for Christmas drinks, she said it was a nice place & she was right. Only downside was that we had to sit outside, even though they had heaters it was still cold. They do a table service here which is unusual but we like that, it's like Eire & The Continent, wish more places did it. Staff are really friendly & engaging even though they were rushed off their feet, had to tip them! Great selection of cocktails & they are pretty strong too. Didn't have food, should have! Will return

Eating out as a vegan is always problematic as choice is limited and prices are often inflated compared to other dishes. This was my experience at the Posthouse. I opted for the burger. Compared to my omnivore friends my burger was smaller. A smaller bun, smaller patty, a lettuce leaf and a scraping of schiracha sauce. Served with fries. The most expensive burger on the menu. It needed more accompaniments such as a salad or coleslaw to justify the price.

I decided to post a review here after sending 2 emails directly to the Posthouse expressing my disappointment regarding the dining experience my friends and I had at the establishment on Wednesday 20th December. Our party, consisting of 11 people, felt somewhat neglected by the waiting and bar staff throughout the evening. There was a noticeable lapse in service when it took an unusually long half-hour interval for desserts to be served after our main courses were cleared away. Unlike my previous visit with my wife a couple of weeks prior, we observed a lack of drinks table service, which posed challenges, especially given the seating arrangement behind a long table. Attempting to navigate through the crowd and reach the bar proved to be a cumbersome task, and surprisingly, the inconsistency in service was evident as we had no trouble during our previous visit. What added to our frustration was the preference given to a group of rather obnoxious men at the bar, who failed to acknowledge the principle of queuing, or manners! Further to this, it was disheartening that our presence seemed to go unnoticed by the staff for most of the night. The culmination of our dissatisfaction occurred when a manager followed us down the road (in the pouring rain) as we left, questioning whether we had paid for our meals. Had there been periodic checks on our party throughout the evening, such concerns would have been addressed sooner. It would also have been convenient for us to pay at the table rather than make individual visits to the bar for a long wait to struggle to be heard by the staff before paying our individual bills. Moving on, and while my friends and I appreciate the effort to create a vibrant atmosphere with a DJ, we found ourselves questioning the necessity of having one. The venue was not particularly crowded, and it seemed that the presence of a DJ did not enhance ours, or anyone’s overall experience. On the contrary, the volume was uncomfortably loud, making it challenging for our party to engage in conversation. Additionally, it appeared that the DJ's role did not extend beyond what could easily be achieved with a curated playlist on platforms like Spotify. Given the intimate setting and the relatively small number of patrons, the loud music became more of a hindrance than an enhancement to the atmosphere. We believe that a more subdued ambiance would have allowed for a more enjoyable and social dining experience. I mentioned in my emails that I’d appreciate it if they could shed some light on the decision to have a DJ and whether there are plans to reconsider this aspect of the dining experience. I was ignored. This raft of issues significantly impacted our overall experience at the Posthouse and hope, but doubt, that this feedback is taken constructively and considered when evaluating your service standards.
