The Cowherds Inn, Southampton

Large and popular pub in a good location on Southampton Common. Service, food and drink far too variable. Tonight, only one real ale on and refused service just before 10:30pm (Sunday night) with the disinterested member of staff on the bar saying they closed at 10:30, while a couple of weeks ago still served at 11pm on a Sunday. To make it worse a table of staff came back with drinks a couple of minutes after this. Sadly, they are all too often let down by their staff and 'variable schedule'.
