Hoochimama's Bar Bistro, Tooting

When you arrive at a bar at six, and two of your party are still waiting for their food at half eight you know there�s a problem�

Service chaotic and unapologetic, food was nice when it arrived, but frankly we were so hungry I think the furniture would have tasted good by that point.

I really want to like this bar, but last night just took the biscuit. The service has always been terrible (bar staff chatting while you wait to be served, staff attempting to open a bottle wine as if they�ve never seen a corkscrew before), but I�ve tried to write it off as �character�.

Last night went beyond that � truly awful service. I�d still pop in for a drink but I�d never bring anyone here for food ever again. Sad really � it could be a really nice little bar, but the staff/management clearly haven�t got a clue.
