The Cuckfield, Wanstead

Arrived on a Saturday afternoon about 4.00p.m and although pub not packed, none of the tables had yet been cleared after busy lunch trade. Sat at table, cleared the plates and glasses ourselves, ordered drinks and asked for table to be cleaned.. nothing happened. Ordered more drinks and asked for table to be cleaned again.. nothing happened.. Ordered some food and asked for table to be cleaned..Same story.. Barmaid appeared at out table to advise that our selection was no longer available. We changed our order and asked for table to cleaned again.. Again,nothing ...Food arrived at table and barmaid,(accidentally, mind you) tilted plate of onion rings all over dirty table, picked them up, placed them back on the plate....Having successfully delivered order,fetched fags from behind bar and went out front for a nice little smoke.
