The Apple Tree, Clerkenwell

Visited this pub on Thursday evening, and was quite frankly shocked. The staff were pretty rude, the extra cold beer seemed to be at room temperature, and the glass of wine was corked - was a real hassle getting it replaced. Ordered food which appeared to have come straight from the microwave, and was scorching hot on the outside and cold on the inside. Believe the pub has just changed hands, so maybe teething problems, but definitely one to avoid, especially when there are so many good pubs in the area, like the Packenham Arms or The Wilmington.
