Jongleurs Camden

I came here with a group of 26 friends for our Christmas night out. It was a complete rip off. It cost me £60 for a two course canteen style meal and 2 pints of beer. It was a good job that I was in good company or the night would have been a complete disaster.
On arrivalk we were shown to three tables towards the back of the venue. There was hardly any space between the tables, that the larger members of our party had to sit on the outside. When the main ncourse arrived it was so dark, it was difficult to see what you were eating. The person next to me asked me if the round thing on his plate was a brussel sprout or a stuffing ball. The main course was actually served on the type of metal plate I remember when I went camping as a child. The fact that the food was cold did not help much either.
Despite the fact that we had to order the two courses we wanted a month before we came, they managed to run out of Christmas pudding and Chocolate pudding. This they realised only when we advised them at the interval, that unlike all the other diners, we had not received dessert before the show started.
The show consisted of three comedians and a compare. Two of the three were quite funny. At the end of the evening I stood to put on my jacket, and they just whipped up the tablecloth and placed it in a blaclk sack. I had to advise them that I still had items on the table, which they had to fish out of the bag and take to the kitchen to dry off. As I waited by the kitchen door, for my things to be returned, a brawl broke out in the bar area, which kind of summed up the tone of the evening.
This was one venue that I had always wanted to go to. Having now been, I really don’t know what made me want to come here in the first place. It was such a let down. I will not be back.

I recently visited Jongleurs Camden and had a great evening. The only problem they have is the parking in Camden! It took us ages to find a side street where we could park, which if you were short for time to get to the club, could cause a problem. Though there is the tube nearby for people to get. The building is very old and right next to the Camden Lock. The door staff are very pleasant and helpful, they show you to your table and explain a few things, i. e where the bar is! The is food before and during the show which you can order, though I have not sampled it myself. They do pack you in to the room, you do have enough room to move, but not much room if you have to get up to go to the rest room or bar! I have been to another Jongleurs and each one has always had very entertaining comperes and comdians, it is definately worth an evening out, though your face does ache afterwards through all the laughing!
