Alice House Queen's Park, Library

Such a great & cosy pub! First time at this location rather than at West Hampstead - but just as great! Mushroom burger was 🤌!

I used to go frequently when I lived in NW when Alice House QP opened. Today we popped in on a Friday night and happy to see the same buzz. Staff seemed chipper but I did feel old with the younger crowd. That's my problem not AH. Great to see it's still well-loved and used by the community. Did find it funny that there was more missing light bulbs than light🤭

Feeling Scammed at a British Pub. The just want to increase your bill and try to charge you a high service fee for a service you didn’t request. My partner and I went to have a few drinks yesterday evening. The place is a typical local British pub. We ordered our drinks at the bar and then took a seat on a sofa. Despite a sign indicating that the area was reserved for later—which we were already aware of—the staff approached us several times to remind us of this, although it was not yet time for at least 40 minutes. They continued to interrupt us; on their last visit, they asked if we wanted another round, to which we agreed as they were very insistent . The bar was only a couple of metres away for where we were sited. Later, we moved to another table, yet the interruptions persisted with the staff prematurely bringing the bill, which we had not requested. To our surprise, they also added a 12.5% service charge like if it was a high end restaurant and for a service we never requested and it was just making the experience worst. It felt like a scam. The staff did not just fail to assist us but continually interrupted us, which ultimately increased our bill for a service we didn’t asked for and become annoying.
