  • 2/5 Elizabeth H. 1 year ago on Google
    So I’ve dropped a star as they got my daughters order wrong as she wanted rice not chips and they gave my husband carling instead of San Miguel …. However despite how ‘rough and ready’ it looks the food is delicious. We ordered the 2 steaks and a bottle of wine for €25 and my daughter ordered chicken in peppercorn sauce and rice. Whilst the food wasn’t fancy it was delicious!! The prices were cheap and the staff despite being rushed off their feet and obviously struggling due to how busy they were, were polite and helpful. So I would rather have knocked off half a star for the mistakes. Went back again and the service was dreadful! More staff were serving and they forgot our order as apparently to quote the waitress the ‘chef was doing them out of order and Willy nilly’ Our wine cooler wasn’t cold and it was so dirty, it looked like it had never been washed. Whilst it isn’t the restaurants fault that we were outside and the people at the next table were chain smoking the tables were so close all we ate was their second hand smoke. We ended up just leaving. After a 40 minute wait and being told it would only take 15 minutes to do our order … which we didn’t believe and the place looking like chaos we decided it would be quicker to go elsewhere

    Rear steak was over cooked. Helpful service.

    It's OK for an English pub abroad. The waitress was a little rude and ignorant. Food was a greasy spoon style. OK to fill a hole. Lots to choose from which was a plus. The cocktails were fantastic and the gentleman serving was lovely. Sports on all tvs so a good catch up and a good amount of advertising for sports coming up. Just the service and cheap food let it down.

    The pub makes me angry, purely because they probably serve the best coffees in Fuengirola but the people that serve you are so ignorant and rude it’s unreal. We have never tried the food because of the service there. The front has a lovely sunny outside area and is great to have a drink and possibly something to eat. We always holiday in fuengirola but I will not eat here because they are so miserable . I always say please and thank you as well as hello. They don’t even acknowledge your existence and it’s been the same over the years we have been coming up to 4 times a year. It’s such a shame, manners cost nothing but losing customers can be very expensive.

    Great staff great pub, perfect for grumpy git’s and sport with a beer or cocktail or 5. The boss moves fast and Glenn moves even faster when left in charge. Can’t wait to visit again.

    Too bad the top dog was closed and we came here. Waiter does not wear a mask, and also witnessed him hiding a cigarette while taking a drink order. Who does that??He is rude, doesn’t seem to care about the customer, and even got our simple food order wrong and blamed the kitchen. Does not take credit cards ( hard to believe ) so something fishy about that as we saw other reviews saying the machine was not working. With the tons of places to eat, we will not return. Take your business elsewhere to someone who appreciates it. We would probably have been a returning customer if it wasn’t for him. Only saving grace is that the food was good, compliments to the chef…

    We sat there about 4 hours drinking. Very friendly and fast service. Sun was shining but too bad that you cannot enjoy sunset over there. We had also some food but I dont remember what it was. So hard to judge that. Prices was quite Ok, I think. Next time we'll be back.

    Me and my fiancé went here for cocktails on the way back from shopping. The cocktails were made in front of me and were very tasty and worth the good price that they were The food and drinks menu had a lot on offer and good value Seating in and outside

  • 4/5 Johanita E. 6 months ago on Google • 197 reviews
    Food is good but the man that serves there has such a bad attitude. I’ve been here 3 times and each time he is so moody and rude. Don’t ask any questions, question the bill, or even think ok asking for substitutes - because he is not going to like any of that. This place would be great if he worked on customer service - but the girl is very friendly - no complains about her.

    I went to the Old London for the first time and it happened to coincide with the Women's World Cup semi-final between Australia and England. The owner came up to me without saying hello and said quite pertly, "Yeah?" I must admit my first thought was; "What a miserable git!'" He wasn't very friendly because I didn't order anything immediately. Things got better when I ordered an English breakfast which, I must admit, exceeded my expectations. I proceeded to watch the match in the company of a pair of charming young ladies from England. We had a great time (especially as England had won!) and the service got better the more I ordered! All in all I can recommend this pub, especially when watching live sporting events. I thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast. If the owner and his son could 😊 a bit more often, then they'll get 4 ⭐for service next time!

  • 3/5 Odd J. 4 months ago on Google • 32 reviews
    Food was tasty, reasonably priced with portions plentiful. What really lets the establishment down was the Scouse waitress. She was as miserable as the British weather that I thought I'd left at home. Would not return.

  • 3/5 Mura 7 months ago on Google • 32 reviews
    We went to eat 3 portions. The drink orders were taken quite quickly and we would have liked to order the food at the same time, but the waiter said he would bring the drinks first and take our food order right after. However, we waited 20 minutes for his return. We finally got the order made, and then we waited for the next 40 minutes. At no point did anyone say that there was a congestion or a shortage of staff. Apart from this, the food left an okay feeling.

  • 4/5 danielle p. 2 years ago on Google • 8 reviews
    We went here twice whilst on holiday. The first time for a quick drink and snack second time for a meal. The food was nice and 1 of the waiters was lovely and had banter. Criticism would be we were a party of 5 and it was very small we struggled to sit together as the biggest table was for 4 people. We did put a chair on end but it was cramped and too close to other tables and people eating. Food overall was nice.

    Barman is serious banter and so polite (sarcasm). Unless he was having an off day. Said they only took cash after we ordered meaning a trip to the ATM mid drink, however I seen another fella paying with his card before leaving. I didn't bother saying anything couldn't be bothered with the confrontation. Other bars in the area that are nicer, cheaper n friendlier staff so avoid is my advice.

  • 5/5 Steven B. 2 years ago on Google
    Good football bar, good selection of drinks and food menu, right on the sea front,

  • 4/5 Philip M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great prices and all day breakfast if you want it. That said, bar waiter was a bit grumpy or maybe just having a bad day. Other than that it was very good.

  • 2/5 Brendan M. 1 year ago on Google
    Dropped by for a coffee and Sobrano ( Brandy). It seemed quite nice and pleasant but i noticed a huge Ulster Flag on the wall with quite a number of signatures, then i noticed the listings for most of the Football being broadcast in the bar. No Celtic games. Ok, i thought. This is a bar run by bigots. I left.

  • 4/5 Tony B. 1 year ago on Google
    We ate here twice, and the food was on point, the staff were friendly. Only downside is its a sports bar and on our first visit it had some, "keen" and loud supporters there however the staff did ask them to be quieter. Fairly good value as well.

    Best range of cocktails I’ve ever seen and great value too.

  • 2/5 Alan B. 1 year ago on Google
    What can I say. Have been here several times over the years. Good location and tables nice and clean. Unfortunately that is where the good points end. Went for lunch on 22.11.22. The usual man that we see there (from northern Uk) was not there. His stand in guy , to put it mildly, left much to be desired. No eye contact, could barely be bothered to speak to you. If that was bad enough, he cleared my plate away when my wife was still eating. Not good. When he cleared my wife’s away, he had other tables glasses etc in his hands, and he dumped a filthy full ash tray on the table in front of her! Neither of us smoke so this really was a gross thing for us. Ironically, the food was lovely, but due to this guy(and this is not the first time we have experienced his rudeness), we will not be returning.

    Great wee pub great Scottish breakfast fantastic cocktails lots of tables big measures good value 2 sirloin steaks all the trimmings plus 2 wine or drinks €25 well worth a visit if in fuengirola

  • 1/5 Cristina Rodriguez M. 1 year ago on Google
    Where to start… Firstly, we sat down at a table inside and ordered the menu that said two Sunday roasts + two drinks €21, we ended up paying €27. That’s okay I would normally let that slide but my boyfriends beef was gone out of date as it was blue mould and very sour. I wanted to take a photo of the beef but I decided against it as I sensed that the lady working knew something was wrong and watching us. We certainly didn’t want to cause a fuss for although rather than asking us why we didn’t eat our food the waitress snatched the food off the table very swiftly because any other customers noticed although she never said a word but was very rude in her actions. Again, I wouldn’t usually go through the effort of writing a review but the staff were ever so rude! Conclusion: AVOID!

  • 4/5 THOMAS 1 year ago on Google
    We went here with our daughter and 2 grandkids 2 nights running for dinner this week when on holiday. The menu offered plenty of pub foods which we all enjoyed. Kids wanted to return the 2nd night. We didn't wait too long for the food considering the bar was busy both nights with football fans. Owner or manager seemed on top of who was next to be served when at the bar and thanked me on leaving on the 2nd night. Possibly more staff required at busy times but overall recommended.

    (Translated by Google) Tables were not clean, took a napkin over the table, was just black, guests were just sitting with their feet on the table, nothing was said about it, had taken the siorlon steak for 2 people with a bottle of wine, was good, for € 24.95, but at checkout pay separately for the sauce, 2 small trays, had to pay € 5.00 for that Tables now have to be disinfected after every visit, so that does not happen (Original) Tafels waren niet schoon, haalde een servet over de tafel,was gewoon zwart,waren gasten zaten gewoon met de voeten op tafel werd niets van gezegd, hadden de siorlon steak genomen voor 2 personen met een fles wijn erbij,was wel goed, voor € 24,95,maar bij afrekenen apart betalen voor de saus,2 kleine bakjes ,moest €5,00 betalen daar voor Tafels moeten na elk bezoek nu ontsmet worden,dat gebeurt dus niet
