Now run by Mitchells and Butlers after a fruitless battle by local celebs to keep it in the hands of the pair who ran it for seventeen years. We can't imagine they'll run it into the ground, but it'll have lost the support of the local community (well, a good chunk of them, anyway). We'll have to get back and see what they've done to it.

not your working mans pub to have a after work beer in - far too pretentious !!. Called in for a pint of St Peters Mild after work the other week and was looked down on when served by the bloke behind the bar who obviously thought he was doing me a favour by acknowleding my presence at the bar !!.

Today was a glorious Autumn Sunday in London - possibly our last for 2008 - and everyone was out and about making the most of the city, with smiles as bright as the sunshine. That's everyone except the staff at The Engineer, who were grumpy and rude from the moment we arrived.



We had a booking for a large group of 12, which we all understand can be more difficult to look after in terms of serving meals etc so we split our group into a table of 6 and table of 4 - this pub doesn't do bookings fore more than 10. The waitress 'looking after us' in fact told us that their kitchen can't handle tables larger than 6.



Our plan for the afternoon was to sit in the beer garden on this beautiful day, eat a yummy lunch (which it was), and share quite a few drinks with some friends but the staff at this pub seemed intent on making sure that didn't happen - we were sick of the treatment so left as soon as we'd finished lunch to go to another pub near by for a few more drinks.



The staff at The Engineer don't seem to understand the concept of the hospitality business. They were anything but hospitable. I won't be coming back or recommending it.

How to find the The Engineer pub

Leave the tube by the Haverstock Hill exit. Cross the road and take the first left over the railway bridge. Turn left onto Gloucester Road, past The Lansdowne and it's on the right. 6 minute walk. Its is also very near the Regents Canal, immediately over the road from the first exit off the Canal path, travelling west from Camden Lock.
