Years ago under old management the thomas a becket experience was a amazing. Food drinks and club nights. the food splendid, simple and flavoursome. Very rustic for old kent road and cheap. Nowhere near average. The drinks great and the bar staff great. The club nights and weekly events e.g jazz was amazing. No wonder it was busy for food drinks and club nights especially.

Recently reopened (again). Seems to want to do everything - food, sports, music, cocktails - without doing any of them particularly well...

First off it is not called the Thomas a Becket anymore it is now the Rock Island. We went here to eat as it has recently changed hands and we wanted to see what it was like.

Unfortunately I have to leave a bad review. I was disappointed on many levels. In Short The Venue was to hot and the windows did not seem to open. The table we sat at was broken ( loose and wobbly). The staff were un attentive and did not seem to care. the service was slow and the food was mediocre at best.

Despite there being hardly anyone in the venue (7pm on a Sunday) the waitress did not realise we had arrived for quite some time. in fact we had do you go to the bar to ask to be served.

After ordering two cocktails we had to wait around fifteen minutes for just one to arrive which was not shortly followed by the second one. Again I point out that the Venue had around 8 people there. After ordering It took around 25 minutes our garlic bread to arrive which I have to say was very nice. We Noticed the second course was ready under the hot lamps around half hour after finishing the starter however it sat there for hours 15 minutes before someone thought to bring it to us.

The chicken burger was good however the sticky Asian chop was no longer hot and was disappointingly Bland.

We was not offered a second round of drinks after finishing the first and eventually we struggled to get someone's attention to get a glass of water.

Would not recommend this place

Bartender was super friendly. Nice place too. I came during a saturday lunch special and the prices and food ( amount and quality ) was wonderful. Very recommended if you come for the lunch special!
