## What to fix first
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows +44 20 8567 7607, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +442089988198. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Structured data found (BarOrPub).** address, phone, opening hours
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Booking on your own site.** Agents can book without going through a marketplace.
- **Ordering on your own site.** Agents can order without going through a marketplace.
