The Cabbage Patch

The restaurant was hectic and bustling on a rugby day, but women are also welcome. The cocktail drinks were disgustingly canned, warm, and overpriced, with no wine or ice available.

I went to watch the Wales vs. Scotland match on TV while having a few drinks at this restaurant. I was able to find a seat, but felt intimidated by a group of people who were very arrogant. I was not wearing any team colors, so I was treated rudely by some of the patrons. Unfortunately, I will not be visiting this restaurant again due to the behavior of some of the customers.

I did not eat at this restaurant, so I cannot comment on the food. However, the pint of Fuller's London Pride that I ordered was the worst I have had in 40 years of drinking Fuller's throughout London. Although it appeared fine initially, the beer lacked any carbonation, seemed flat, and had no discernible flavor. I thought it might have been just me, but my wife also agreed that it tasted like vinegar. When I brought this up to a staff member, I was simply told to leave it on the bar, which was not the most satisfactory solution. Overall, I did not enjoy my experience at this place. I decided to go to Waitrose and purchase London Pride in cans, as I am confident that they will be better than what I received at the restaurant.

I have been going to The Patch music room upstairs for years on a Thursday; the music is always great but the venue itself is now a disgrace. To greet you, there is usually a pile of junk at the bottom of the stairs, the tables and chairs upstairs are worn out and filthy (even a charity shop would not want them), the floor needs renewing while the walls have been bare for months with screw holes where pictures have been removed. The loudspeakers at the back of the room appear not to work, so you cannot hear announcements or the music when away from the stage; when the room is busy, it is unbelievably hot as the aircon seems to have been broken forever and try and avoid the gents toilet the floor is often awash and you would not dare to put your bum on the worn out seats, while the walls in the two cubicles are covered in spiders webs from floor to ceiling it hasn't been cleaned in months. It makes you wonder what state the kitchen is in!

Let me bring my bike in super super smiley and happy give them payrises right now ..... Will be back just because of their vibes and characters.... Thanks Mark
