http://www.london-eating.co.uk/23711.htm The Drapers Arms Readers Reviews - London Eating en-gb Copyright: (C) London Eating If only I'd read some of the reviews listed for the Draper's Arms before booking! Living locally, I thought this would be a great place to celebrate my birthday. How wrong could I be... I was told at the last minute that the dining-room upstairs was closed - not a good start. Then we had to wait about an hour and a half for our food. Only ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2875.htm I went 2 nights ago. The ambience is nice, unconventionally and subtly elegant. Unfortunately, the food is rather banal and the attempts to make it interesting (like pouring garlic mayo on most of their courses) simply worsen the overall result. There were 12 of us and I tried a few. Despite the nice location and the peaceful view form the ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2875.htm A fabulous meal with great service, and a good atmosphere to boot! It's very difficult to get all elements of the equation right - but The Drapers Arms have cracked it. And the well balanced choice on the wine list was great to see. Overall, I can't recommend The Drapers enough! Thanks for a wonderful evening. http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2875.htm Was bitterly disappointed three weeks ago when I went to Drapers for a lunch. Had recommended it to a companion, always enjoyed drinking there ( especially in the patio area ) and trusted that the cuisine would be up to the same standard. Not so at all. The wine was indifferent and the food very poor indeed, both in its basic quality and in ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2875.htm Went for dinner here last week and could not believe the top room which used to always be full was empty other than 1 other table. I have been on numerous occasions before, although probably not for a few months, and was very concerned as to why it was so empty. My concerns were not unfounded - my main course which was pasta with tomato and ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2875.htm I will never go back and recommend that you do not go there until they sort themselves out. This is a fancy gastro pub but they are so up themselves it ruins the possibilities of the nice interior and position. The beer is average, the food just OK for the price, the bar staff variable, and the waitresses in the restaurant upstairs incredibly ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2875.htm Had to say that I was very disappointed with the Drapers Arms. The venue and ambience is great - very Victorian settings. However, the service and the quality of the food left a lot to be desired. For a start, we were running 15 minutes later, and we got told off on the phone, which immediately put us on the backfoot. Then, after reasonable ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2875.htm I felt I had to write a review, having had our 'staff party' here just before Christmas. What a great place! Although very busy the level of service was impeccable from beginning to end, the food was exceptional and the wine selection superb, Highly recommended. http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2875.htm We live round the corner from the Drapers, and have now given up going. At first we thought that the poor experiences we had were one offs. They weren't. We've been at weekends and in the evening, and in comparison with other local Gastro pubs, the Drapers is slipping down the league, and after a promising beginning a few years back now ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2875.htm Having heard good things about The Drapers Arms over the years, we finally made it there last week. We were there on a rainy Wednesday night - the Drapers felt like a great refuge in a storm. Sadly, the evening went downhill from there - ceasar salad was dull and bouillabaisse wasn't very fishy; the medium rare steaks we ordered were served ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2875.htm
