Pecking Order The Hive London - Edgware

Got there and greeted by we have no booking for you! But here is my confirmation...reply this isn't the pecking order any more the chairman has bought it....ok can i have and gave order...reply no that is the pecking order menu we only have bar food. So ordered bar food Can i have childrens meal with a drink...Nope for you get no drinks with it. Next food took more than minutes to arrive with no cutlery and cold ...apart from that perfect for a children family birthday meal

Excellent food quality. Delightful staff. We did have to wait a bit too long for drinks but as it was the last day of the season and the biggest ever crowd at The Hive we forgive them as they were so busy

We booked this on what was a very busy day at The Hive as it was Barnet fc last league game. Unfortunately when we arrived the gentleman that showed us to our seats looked very stressed and it seemed he was alone dealing with all the tables. There were no other staff aroundTwo of our party had the Southern Fried Chicken Wings the chicken was nicely cooked but there was certainly no Southern Fried taste in fact the coating didn't taste of anything! Luckily we had the sauces

With only one waiter for the entire shift, he tried his best to accommodate everyone. The waiter's personal service was fantastic but the experience was left cold as his attention was floating around looking after other customers as the football game finished.This made our food turn cold as we saw the food laying idle for some time awaiting to be picked up. We addressed this to the waiter and an apology was issued but nothing else. could of offered to warm up the food The menu is terrible, Previous visits to the Stanmore Branch was superb with great customer service and quality of food.I visited Pecking Order at the Hive once before from which the chef had to leave early due to an emergency which is understandable . So the waitermanager cooked our food which was a surprise to me. This limited the order to just fried food where Pecking Order is known for its Rotisserie chicken. We ended up with Chicken and Waffles which was delicious but it wasnt what I really wanted to order.On this trip the menu shrunk to just items half chicken, burger or veggie burger followed by fries and rice.This is a HUGE disappointment as the portion size has actually shrunk but more importantly with such a small menu the food still came out mediocre and cold not the Pecking Order I'm used to since been an avid fan of the Stanmore Branch.Further more, upon leaving and picking up our ticket coin from Starbucks next door they serve the SAME CHICKEN as Pecking order from which I asked the Barista is this the chicken from Pecking Order from which she confirmed. I found this very unusual and the Manager of this establishment is cutting alot of corners which in turn is impacting his menu and staff from which the customer experience is left ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING.Never again and DO NOT RECOMMEND

The service was excellent but since the change to the men the choice is to restricted and the casting on the chicken is nowhere near as tasty as it was
