The William Morris is only good for one reason: price. The downside is as follows: 1. Dark as a night in the countryside; 2. Rough as sandpaper; 3. It literally stinks in there; 4. Most of the clientele are college students taking advantage of the lax door policy; 5. It is goddawful. Avoid like the plague unless you are really desperate to drink on next to no money. JD Wetherspoons be ashamed. Hammersmith be ashamed.

I actually had quite a nice cooked breakfast at this place only today at around 12.00.The bartender was officious enough to take a lot of details about they type of coffee I wanted. For around 3.50 I think it was good value and being not too busy.I admit the decor is a bit grim but this place gets really busy in the evening and I wasn't there to eat the decor so it was allrightish I would say.

okay, as most people would be aware, any pubs that are included in the JD Wetherspoon chain are not fantastic but this place really stink.

i only ever go there on a hangover to drink & eat cheap and this is exactly what i did yesterday. needless to say, i was not overly impressed. in fact i am still, in writing moment, shocked and horrified.

where do i start.....

they have a wine menu that inlcudes both chardonnay, shiraz & rioja. however, they have not had any of these in stock for a long time and neither of these were available yesterday.
so i was recommended the house red (£3.25 for 250ml) which i too late realised they actually serve on tap.
it tasted like vinegear and i'm pretty sure it was, in fact, vinegear only with a hint of burgundy coloring.

i ordered a rib eye steak (£9.49 with chips & salad) that allegedly has been matured for 28 days. one good thing about this place is that they ask you how you want your steak cooked. however, it would be good if they then actually cooked the steak to your preference. i asked for my steak to be cooked medium, it arrived 45 mins later - raw. i made the waitress (which i'm sure was no older than 10 years old) aware of this and she looked humbled and confused but decided to take my plate back to the kitchen for another go on the grill.

after sipping vinegear for another half an hour with no steak in sight i made my way to the bar to enquire what had happened to my steak.
woman behind the bar was rude and extremly unhelpful but i managed to spot the toddler who took my steak from the table, leaning on a barstool a few meters down. I asked her what she's done to my steak and she rudely informed me that she would look in the kitchen. i could see her entering the kitchen and grabbing a plate with what looked like my steak on it.
at this point i was ordering beer (kronenbourg £2.72 / pint) to get rid of the vinegear taste in my mouth and both my hands were occupied with beers when she knocks on my shoulder and says "here you go". another sign of excellent customer service. i kindly asked to place the steak on the table where i was sitting.

when i initially ordered the steak i added peppercorn sauce (£1.50) which i had to enquire about since i did not receive this after they recooked my steak. another 15 mins delay before actually being able to eat.
my steak was now overcooked to the point of tasting like charcoal and they had not bothered to replace the chips nor the salad so the chips was now cold & soggy and the salad had taken a slighly brownish tone.

one might say that you get what you pay for, but i have eaten more satisfying things from mcdonalds.

quite clearly - not highly recommended but the drinks are ridiculously cheap. stay away from the tap wine though.
