The Dickens Tavern (Paddington)

• This one was conveniently located close to the hotel we were staying at in Paddington
• I thought it was enough convincing for me to go in and try it
• My friend and I decided to go for the Ultimate Fish and Chips with Peas not mushy
• The order was quick which was nice we were hungry from all the touring around
• As it came with 4 slices of toast 2 whites
• 2 browns with some nice Irish butter
• First thing was the terrible beer
• Took it back to the bar and at least the barmaid replaced it but it still was a crappy pint
• I ordered a cheese toastie with chips and HD had fish and chips
• What arrived was a 'toastie' with salad
• Two bits of lukewarm toast with some cheese and ham slapped between
• When I asked where my chips were the waitress investigated then said
• We made a mistake with your order
• I have been there for lunch and the first impact was quite positive
• 39 however with the 8.49 lunch special this should have been £
• 28 when we quieted this with the bar maid she became very defensive and advised the system doesn&rsquo
• We sat and had our lunch while trying to reach a resolution the staff were dismissive advising it wasn&rsquo
• T there fault and it was the system nothing they could do
• 10 that they overcharged us then later advised it was the system and as it was World Cup there was no lunch special however this was not advertised anywhere on the menu
• As we were leaving there were more people complaining
• T bother your self there is a nice pub across the road which is much better
