The Royal Standard of England, Beaconsfield

I have been to this pub a number of times and have always found both the food and atmosphere very enjoyable; however, I would also like to say that I too have noticed a decline in service since the introduction of an almost totally Eastern European bar staff. This has given this beautifully traditional old pub a very odd feel to it. On one particular Sunday lunchtime recently only once was I served by a local English girl at the bar, who was both polite and exceptionally helpful - two skills most of the other staff seemed to lack. Hopefully they will learn from her and things will improve as the good still outweighs the bad at this pub.

Personally I find the no-smoking ban one of the plus sides.
