Very cosy pub in winter, lovely bistro-esque lighting, my favourite new Sunday spot. Great wines by the carafe, newspapers and a great atmosphere (good play list last Sunday too).
Went to the Camel for the first time last Sunday and I loved it. Pie and mash was excellent and the drink selection was great. Staff were v friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
Was really excited about visiting this pub for the drink selection and I guess that was the one thing that didn't let down - they have interesting ales and ciders.
However, the guy behind the bar was so rude and unhelpful. He walked off twice in the middle of serving us and couldn't answer any questions about the origin of the meat in their "homemade pies" which are not made on the premises. I'd doubt they're made in anybody's home either for that matter.
The food was the real issue - £9 for what tasted like a ready meal. The mash was lumpy and gluey at the same time, the gravy was obviously Bisto with a bit of redcurrant jelly stirred in and the pie's pastry was ridiculously hard from being re-heated badly. There was barely any filling in the thing - Pieminster's aren't that great but they are miles better than these. Boo.
The Camel is amazing. I drink there frequently...my second home in fact! It is intimate and cosy, with great décor and music.
And I have never had a problem with staff or punters. If perhaps you have had a problem with either the staff or people there, it may be that in deed you are a twat and they simply don't like you?
It is possible.
I live just accross the road from this pub (i.e. within hearing range) and my partner and I drink here all the time. I have never seen/ heard any of the problems other users have commented on! I know the landlord personally and a random calling him a "loser" is really uncalled for. This is a lovely pub with a great atmosphere. The only time I've seen it uncontrollably busy is when Victoria Park have events on and the staff work extremely hard to cope. I would highly recommend people visit for themselves, you won't be disappointed!
I love this place, a hidden gem in the East. Very friendly and laid back vibe, cool staff and the pies are something else. Will definitely become a repeat offender... CAMEL!
This is the WORST resteraunt i have ever been to in my whole life. The manager is a complete ****. Thinks he is funny but is a complete loser. The food is pants.
