The Garden Gate, Hampstead Heath

A nice pub that is severely let down by the most unpleasant bar staff I have ever encountered. Order non-alcoholic drinks at your peril...you will be berated by the aggressive barman with the height complex and his curly-toupee clad pal, and told that you should go over the road to Starbucks if you want tea or coffee. They will then proceed to complain about their manager for installing a coffee machine, and then refuse to serve you any hot drinks at all. The 2 particular members of staff I encountered on Saturday May 6th must both have been off sick with a nasty case of personality-disorder on the customer-relations training day. Don't bother giving people like this your hard-earned cash.
