It was an awful evening.
First of all the pub is very noisy and is like a canteen.
But the main thing is, I gave them 20 pounds and they said I gave 10!
I was absolutely sure of what I gave them because 2 minutes before I went to the ATP for money. It was funny because when I said that I will add some comments on Internet, I was very surprise to hear from the manager that all the customers say that. Is that mean that they use to do that and I am not the only one?
At the end, he told that that he will refuse to serve us in the future…. Did they think that I want come back after that? :-)

well in response to that stupid acusation i cant belive you would do something like this. We gave you all of the relevant infomation so that the police could come and see the cctv camara which would prove perfectly that you DID only give me a £10 note not £20 note so in the futer make sure that you tell the whole truth not some stupid completly un proven acusation like this and if you hated it soo much then why did you stay in the pub all night - Report

I was at this pub with a friend (see comments below). The answer of the owner of this pub just confirm that his CCTV doesn’t work at all and/or he doesn’t know how to use it or…. We left exactly at 7.30 (we have a dinner with friends after…). We just stayed to drink this most expensive beer we never had before, that is it. The owner of this pub gave us wrong information from his CCTV (time was not the right time at all and to justified this he said that it was the old time and he already knows that, but that was not a problem at all..). This man will have to explain us how to claim to a police with wrong information! He just gave us the CCTV’s references he wants to be sure we can’t prove anything! Very easy, isn’t it? In addition of that, we stay 20 minutes talking and waiting for him to have a look on his CCTV. In 20 minute, he said that he checked the CCTV and, as he served 4 persons, he can confirm that we only gave the waiter 10 pounds… 4 people in 20 minutes? For a Friday evening??? I will let the readers choose what to understand… :-). To answer to his last sentence “if you hated it soo much then why did you stay in the pub all night”, I will just remind him that he told us that you will REFUSE to serve us in the futur… Is that mean that we stayed all the night with just one beer??? This man is really amasing. And again, I suggest him to look again on his CCTT… he will see that we left at 7.30 and not stayed all the night, but for that the CCTV has to be set correctely!!!! - Report

This was my local for a couple of nights in 2003 when I stayed at a hotel up the road.
I didnt sample the food but the beer was okay,(could've been colder! It's a northern thing!!) the atmosphere wasnt too bad and the staff were pretty friendly. well apart from one but never mind, You get that everywhere.

I went to the Pride of Paddington Pub in November 2003. I ordered a roast lamb dinner and a pint for myself. My credit card bill (9 pounds 80 pence) was timed stamped at 1356 hours. At 1435 hours, after inquiring 3 times where the food was, I left.

A couple who sat opposite me and who came in after me and were served within 10-15 minutes. I told this to one of the pub staff who said that was not true. After she left, assuring me I would be served next, they both looked over at me and shrugged. I waited another 2 minutes and told some gents who were looking for a seat to enjoy my lamb dinner since it was prepaid and that I would be dealing with MasterCard.
