Prices are biting, menu is rather common, and while the place is large inside - actual spaces are crumpled, with servers squeezing between the crowd...
It is not a bad place, but rather overboard playing a "neighbourhood bar in a poshy area. And as much as "poshy" refers to "false classy", Hose and Hound is just there in that group, with everything - design included.
I would not hesitate to get there with a few friends though - the place is not genuinely bad, just average. Acceptably so.
