We made a reservation for 7:30pm. Showed up on time and were ignored by the host until we flagged her down to ask if we could be seated. We sat for about 20 minutes at a corner table in the back of the restaurant and no one ever came up to us to take our order, so we left.

Don't really like this one. Went here for a birthday party, god knows why he chose it. It's got one of those ultra generic vibe's that's just gagging for someone, somewhere to throw up so that there is the slightest evidence that at some point fun was had. 

They try and claim to be both a wine bar and a pub which is pretty difficult even for the most multitasking of multipurpose venues. Honestly it's neither really, yeah, they serve beer and wine but drinking neither feels totally right in this place. They also have a big screen telly and serve food if you're interested in prolonging your experience further than the time it takes you to down your drink. One plus, there's a big terrace area with lots of tables that looks out over onto a bit of grass. Better to be outside than inside somewhere like this.

The Square Pig bills itself as a s'wine bar; shazam! However, it has the look of a generic upmarket bar. The place is set across one open plan room which has fairly smart modern decor with seated tables and some sofas. The bar has large glass windows on two sides, beyond which on one side there is a covered seating area. The bar is fully stocked and as you would expect there are a selection of wines.

I have come here a few times as my sister works in the area. Indeed, there is a big after work crowd. It is fine as a place for a quick drink in the afternoon and early evening. 

The square pig is not an incredible place but is nice for a couple of drinks.

Such a friendly, welcoming, underrated place. I have been going past this pub for about a decade but had always discounted it I guess, because this was my first visit.

Windsor + Eton fresh green hop is a seriously good beer and we enjoyed it with an excellent backing track, played at just the right volume so you don't have to speak up when talking to your friends.

I ordered the mulled wine because they had signs everywhere telling me to try their mulled wine.  When I asked for it, the woman behind the bar said they didn't have any and wouldn't until "uh, the middle of the week, I guess."

I then ordered a chicken sandwich with sour cream and guacamole.  The latter was sickly brown.  I know that avocado turns brown pretty quickly upon exposure to air, but it's still really unappealing to look at, and you can prevent that with a little lemon or lime juice.

Also, the salt and pepper were in shot glasses, so instead of shaking it onto your food you dive right in there with your fingers to grab a pinch.  With your fingers.  In a pub.  The fingers you just used to pick your nose, scratch yourself, pop a zit, or pick at a scab.  Or the fingers off of which you may have just licked some delicious brown guacamole.  You're gonna stick those in there for a pinch of salt, and then I have to stick my own nasty fingers in there for some right after you.  That ain't right.

The only thing this place has going for it is its location. 

For lack of other pubs in the area, the square pig is a popular place for local business people to meet up after work for a drink. 

The bar staff are rude, confused, and over all sub par on customer service. So often they have a majority of the seats and tables 'reserved' for a large party that you will be told you aren't allowed to stand near the tables or in certain parts of the pub. The staff will treat you like you are in their way and that they would rather you were not there at all. 

If you can avoid coming here, do so.

I went here with friends for a quick after work drink...and it was fine...nothing special.  There is an outdoor area which would be really nice, except everyone out there smokes, which pretty much ruins the atmosphere and the air quality.  The interior is fine...just get there early to get a table and seat.  The drinks are inexpensive, and the crowd is late 20s to late 30s.  The Square Pig could be much more fun, but it's not the worst pub in London.

I came here for a CouchSurfing meetup, and I really don't see how the ratings for this place are so low.  The bartender Sebastian from Romania is awesome, and is a super fun and friendly dude.  The beer selection is pretty good.  I mean, this place isn't anything special, but it was a decent spot to spend an evening out.

Good food, good drinks, good atmosphere, what's not to like? Gets really crowded but there's a semi-hidden room downstairs. You lose the fun trendy atmosphere but it becomes more intimate, and you'll actually be able to find a table. Would definitely come back here.

This place is fine, slightly generic and nothing which makes your heart jump a beat, but it is generally quite quiet and a place you can have an office lunch, or a quiet glass of wine without being disturbed.  

Is has nice wooden floor boards, long wooden tables and some more comfy  seating areas like sofas and big armchairs. 

It is within two minutes walking distance of Central Saint Martins Art College, so it acts as a great place to take the folks for lunch if they are coming to visit you.
