http://www.london-eating.co.uk/24644.htm The Hartley Readers Reviews - London Eating en-gb Copyright: (C) London Eating Main Course: Not bad. Ordered a burger, served on a posh plate, with seven (yes, seven) chips and a decent sized bed of rocket. The chips were enormous, though, so it looked like a reasonable portion. Also ordered an extra plate of 'vegetables', which was basically a plate of runner beans and a sprig of Asparagus (might have expected a little ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/3955.htm I recently went for a group meal which was served in a grotty upstairs room. The food take ages to come, was cold and would have been of better quality (and considerably cheaper) if served by a Weatherspoons. The sink in the bathroom next to the kitchen was filfthy and the paintwork leading to the room was covered with dirty handprints. I ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/3955.htm I went to the Hartley on Saturday night with 3 friends, it was fairly quiet in there, I think it's probably a bit more buzzy during the week with the after work crowd. The food was good - pretty standard gastropub fare really though. Service was excellent in there and staff very friendly. Look out for the service charge though, we had quite ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/3955.htm I've been recently to The Hartley and don't recognise any of the negative comments below. We had an amazing roast lamb with red wine & cranberry jus, roast pots with rosemary that were light and fluffy inside, crisp and roasted outside and the most delcicious steamed veg. Banoffee pie creme brulee finished the meal which was complemented by ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/3955.htm I went here for Sunday lunch last weekend. The menu was varied and the portions generous, and the beer wasn't too bad either. Also, given that there are very few other places to go out in the area, The Hartley really does stand out. The only thing is... gastropub or not, this is still a pub - with all that entails in terms of atmosphere and ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/3955.htm I have to admit that when I first went to this gastropub about 2 years ago I was seriously impressed, however, on recent visits I'm afraid to report the love affair is most definitely over. The service ranges from indifferent to downright terrible. On one occasional I waited for over 20 minutes before the waitress came to take more order. ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/3955.htm This had been a favourite of ours for a year or more, but we went a week ago on Monday and it was an utter disaster. We previously loved the place, it's commitment to excellent quality ingredients, interesting combinations of food, and beautiful cooking. Things have gone seriously downhill. First of all, they served us sliced white bread. Not ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/3955.htm Always a pleasure to eat and drink at The Hartley. Good menu, reasonable prices and with the ever amicable owner on hand, it's well worth the visit and brings a much needed lease of life to this area. The draft beers maybe a bit limited (Staropromen is the only decent beer), and they should drop the 'wacky' blackboard thing, but all in all it ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/3955.htm Having been away for a few months I was rather apprehensive about returning to the Hartley having read the recent negative reviews. Although they would definitely benefit from an extra member of staff or two, the waiting staff were helpful and friendly, didn't forget anything and generally made the whole evening a pleast experience. The food ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/3955.htm I love the laid back atmosphere and always enjoy the food although service can be hit and miss especially when it is busy you can be in for a wait. I also find it slightly pricey for what it is. http://www.london-eating.co.uk/3955.htm
