Poacher's Arms - London

Okay, so I and my friends went to poachers poor. the atmosphere was pretty great! eating was amazing and the drinks were good. the only thing wrong is that they need new tables. the table top was cleaned up and down all night. but in addition, a firm place to hang with friends.

I would give it a 2.5 star rating. The ambience wasn't all that great for me. The drinks and food I think were overpriced. I got the Korean fried chicken and it wasn't terrible but nothing to write home about, I did like the presentation of it though. What really soured my experience was the fact that our waiter lowkey demanded each of us to tip her. I didn't tip while using the machine and afterwards she asked me if I had any cash (toony or something like that, im not Canadian so the money names I don't know) to tip her, it made me very uncomfortable. I normally tip only when I have had really good service or really good food, which I didn't getbthat night. It should be the restaurants responsible to pay their workers liveable wages so they don't pester patrons for tips.

Has entertainment which is more than what I can say for some bars. Some price gouging going on, especially for canned beer. Had poutine and it was decent with plenty of cheese curds. Overall the atmosphere is tame and the wait staff is attentive without being over bearing.

The atmosphere was decent, I liked how sequestered away it was. However, the waitress kinda forgot I existed and it took me moving from my original spot for her to remember I was there 10-15 minutes after I had originally sat down. HOWEVER, to her credit she got me a drink on the house. Something tasted a little funky with the loaded fries? I can't pinpoint it, but like it just... didn't really taste right. maybe it was something I wasn't expecting that was in there. although another plus was that the fries itself were really well made!

It has been the best place to hangout until the server included the tips in the receipt without telling us. First it was under staff night so we had to go to the bar, order beer and bring it to our table. We asked the lady why tips were included and she said she wont do it again. She tried to get double tips. She didnt tell us the tips was included and asked for tips. Imagine how many time she has done this. DEC 18 2021 that is the date.
