The Angel, Soho

Nice layout, as previously mentioned, and its slightly off-the-beaten-track location is appealing, but the service has always been suspect. Moreover, today I was charged �5.50 for a bottle of cider. That's five punds and fifty pence.

That's my relationship with Sam Smith's over, then

The Rose and Crown, Walthamstow

At last we have a local that's not full of meatheads (the Bell) or surly staff (Nags Head). We don't go to the pub very often, but it's nice to have somewhere nearby that's worth a visit now and again.

Now, if they'd ditch the San Miguel and replace with Peroni I'd be there more often.

The Prince, Stoke Newington

One of those deepy annoying pubs that I occasionally come across, where they won't serve you a pint of Leffe. What do they think is going to happen? Some sort of terrorist incident? The surly-faced barmaid even said she'd give me two half-pints instead. What the f&%* is the point of that?!

The Prince is quite a nice pub, but here's a tip or two: Bar staff - lose the attitude. Smile from time-to-time. Also, give your customers what they want and they'll come back. Or lose them.
