Dear Gordon
This is our local pub, well one of four in the Maida Vale neighbourhood. We visited last night and enjoyed a Magners with good friends. We mingled with a mix of young and old, posh and not and a little bit of everything else. The oldies next to use were drunkenly arguing about Margaret Thatcher and some vain young man was also trying to be funny with some bad chat up lines. The Warrington is a great pub with a stunning interior which as I am told was once a brothel. It had a Thai restaurant upstairs, which wasn't great and a fabulous outdoor patio that in the summer is always full. Gordon Ramsay TV Chef extraordinaire, is a British TV chef famous for using the 'F' word a lot, has now purchased this historic building and half the neighbourhood is for it and half against. The Thatcher crowd will complain about rising beer prices and expensive food but the trendy crowd will welcome a larger selection of beers & decent food - the Thai and peanuts/crisps don't cut it and perhaps an improvement to little things like the lous, service and more will make it an even better place to go. It will be interesting to see what happens. As you can guess, this comment card is from the anti-Gordon team or just silly, ignorant boys who frequent the pub.
Get to it now before it changes in July for the old Warrington feel. Then re-visit in July and see what is new and improved. Stay tuned.
