Queen Elizabeth, Chingford

Surprised to see The QE in this listing as it doesn't, in my opinion, qualify as a pub, more a restaurant that at a price premium, happens to sell beer. When it is right the quality of the pint served is very good but the guest beers always run out at peak times, and despite this being pointed out on numerous occasions, it is viewed by the pub as a criticism, rather than an idea to be thought about and hence nothing is done about it. The bar staff are wooden, they have no interest in the product they are serving and have no idea of customer satisfaction and the constant change of Managers by the brewery/owners means the staff get no direction. It has all the qualities to be a terrific place but is actually very dissapointing unless you want a pint of Fosters and a carvery!
