Someone mentioned earlier that it doesn't have the same lively vibe as the Dignity. Even though it is only a minute walk from there, most people go there as the station is closer to it. But that's exactly WHY I like CITR. It is RELAXED. It's not loud and people aren't bumping into you. Bliss! Perfect for our lazy board game action. Vegan goodies: They double checked the soup of the day for me and in the end made me a fabulous roasted veggie stack sandwich with chips and fresh chunky salsa. To drink I had a black coffee and a Warsteiner on tap. Non vegans: The OmniMonkey quenched his craving for fish and chips. There were a few pin bones to get through, but not many. He really loved how light and "beery" the batter was. Both of us were part of the Clean Plate Club for sure! Food prices are on par with other pubs. And I must say, every single person from the staff who spoke with us today (four total) were ridiculously nice and cheery! (You could even hear them quietly singing along with the music in the back.) I'm glad to see there are actual happy British servers who aren't afraid to show it! Just gob-smacked at the service I received for making sure I meal could be made for me was above and beyond. THANK YOU!

I don't go to fish restaurants a lot so I end up at his restaurant about once a year - and he always recognises me and treats me like a lost relative. I have to admit, this impresses me so I will try not to be biased. Their calamari is so nice I only ever have that for my first course and it never fails, and I have been going there for about seven years. Those of you mathematically inclined will have worked out that this is seven visits. A lot of older clientèle there so it is a place to go to for a quiet meal with someone you feel comfortable with - and you'll both enjoy it.

To be honest I prepared myself for an ordinary meal pre dinner drink at bar was given with friendly…read moreservice and a variety of peanuts and stuffed olives, I entered the restaurant and was asked if I had a reservation ! Which was amusing as there was only one other lone diner there 8.15 on a Wednesday. Great choice of wine by the glass and warm bread I went for the Rosemary roll. Nice they give you a jug of tap water if you request it - that was the other lone diner I stuck with wine. I went for the obvious no starter and steak and chips see picture. The chips like perfectly roast potatoes thick light and tender, steak and sauce perfect with vine tomatoes and pan griddles mushroom stalks. Great big stalks ! Look at the picture! The peppercorn sauce was loaded with green peppercorns and really hit the spot it was probably the best peppercorn sauce I have tasted. Daniel the waiter was very attentive but I guess with 2 covers he had time - where is everybody do they know what they are missing? A classic done extremely well I am so impressed. Regretting not trying a starter but there is still desert - pistachio Creme brûlée with sesame wafer and shortbread again a classic done better than most really impressive see picture.

I have not eaten here but have come for drinks on occasion. It has wood panelling and tacky things on the wall which makes you feel like you are in an old cabin. The front room has tables and the back room has a dance floor. They also have an area out front which now serves shisha. The one thing to watch about this place is that a lot of single guys come in to pick up. If you are female don't be surprised if you are dry humped on the dance floor!! My girlfriend and her friend experienced this first-hand- unfortunately I did not.

Once inside it gets even better with random trinkets and paraphernalia all over the place, people Salsa dancing in the back and the sweet smell of tobacco and molasses floating in from the front terrace. They have backgammon sets galore and people play cards here and talk in various languages quite loudly, which I like. Apparently it is open late too. It's not a high-grade boozer by any stretch of the imagination, but it is worth nipping in for a beer some time and the prices are reasonable - £3.10 for a pint of Budvar on draught :)

We had to pay for car parking and were lucky to have got a spot close to the pub. When we arrived, it was 1.30pm and not busy. The decor is very nice. My party mostly ordered the chicken roast and it was not your tradition chicken roast. We were served half chicken, which was nice with the veg, gravy & Yorkshire pudding. Those that had the pork belly found it lovely, except for the crackling. Overall, we didn't have the best dining experience due to mixup with orders, but the manager since has been providing great customer service and gratitude to welcome us back for a complimentary meal.

Some great things to note: - Warm and cozy with fireplaces - Outdoor seating and ample seating - Great food and booze selection Get their early and walk around the area as well, it's the perfect reprieve from the busy London streets.

I had the Anchor Blonde Bitter which was a seriously good pint and Siren Serenity of the Sky (not sure what is behind the name) which was a good mild. My friends ordered some chips but actually received cheese and horseradish chips. This turned up to be an accidental upgrade which the staff later acknowledged and even apologised for (there was no need!) There is a sports TV at the back, which can easily be avoided at the front. I really rather like the place!
