"I’m a professional woman of colour in my fifties fighting cancer and undergoing chemotherapy. During October I decided to go to this local pub for a quiet drink with my small dog. After ordering my drink at the bar, a man and woman started to verbally abuse me. The attack was completely unprovoked. The verbal abuse continued throughout my drink being made, whilst I was sat at a table. I was so scared, I didn’t get up to get my drink because I didn’t want to walk past the man and woman abusing me. The man called me a “b*tch” and a “c*nt” and the abuse continued until they left. No one spoke up or defended me throughout the attack. One member of staff eventually asked the man to “leave it”. They left when they finished their drinks and as they passed called me a “c*nt”. I didn’t say anything throughout. I am not sure if this was a racist attack or because I was a female on my own but I do know I don’t feel safe at this pub or walking past it. I have never experienced this kind of verbal abuse as an adult. It really shook me up and upset me. What was meant to be a moment of forgetting about my cancer became a really awful experience. Probably the worst thing was that no one defended me or stopped the abuse. Sending a clear signal to the abusers that this was acceptable behaviour in this pub. I live a few roads away and feel the lack of action by the staff speaks volumes. I now regularly visit Greenwich Grind where I feel really safe and looked after. I know the staff there would speak up if anyone (poc, LGBTQ etc) was attacked. I left Richard 1st in floods of tears that day. I tried to contact the management to discuss what happened but we couldn’t find a convenient time. I felt it wasn’t important to them. I will never set foot in here again."

"We went to Frankie and Benny’s for a delicious authentic Italian lunch as we were getting hungry and wanted to break up a jubilee line journey from Stratford to Green park and remembered this was here and having been once before and liking it I decided to go back.The service was exemplary,our waiter was just fantastic very friendly,chatty and polite.He handed my gluten free allergy really well.Also food came out in about 10 minutes which was great bearing in mind it was all so fresh!The food was absolutely delicious,my gluten free pepperoni pizza was heavenly and you couldn’t get more Italian than a Frankie’s gluten free pepperoni pizza.It was lovely and hot,presented well,good portion sizes,extremely fresh and very good for money!Infact if you visit at lunch time you get 1 course for £9.90.That’s fantastic value and better value than places like Nando’s etc.And with just buying tap water it’s a real bargain which is great as water is one of my favourite drinks,you can never ever ever go wrong with a glass of water.It’s good for you and boots you’re hydration and well-being.Also the decor in here is lovely,all very fresh and beautifully decorated.I love the new Frankie’s decor it’s just so nice and I love it how they have re-visited it.It’s much cooler(temperature wise and fashion wise).I love the lights as well.It is also very spacious and clean.Also toilets were convenient and clean.This is a perfect place for a meal if you are on a train journey,before or after shopping, cinema,bowling or concert.Or after a trampoline session,skydiving session,climbing session or during a day out in London.Would highly recommend this.I reviewed it on tripadvisor as they were displaying the 2022 travellers choice award and they had quite a lot of negative reviews recently and to share my positive experience may help them have that award again this year or in future years"
