The Cuckfield, Wanstead

A winning combination of pretentiousness and hopelessness. As a local, I have tried to love this pub but have now (finally) reached the conclusion that it's a lost cause. As commented on by another reviewer, the service here is PAINFULLY slow and is dispensed by a group of too-cool-for-school teenagers with (bad) attitude.

Made the mistake of eating there recently - was charged �6.50 for a jacket spud with cheese on account of it being on the daily specials board (no, I'm not joking!)

Customer service / satisfaction is clearly not a prority for this place - not that this will bother the boss - am guessing he'll be too busy deciding which flip-flops and sunglasses combination to wear rather than worrying what the locals think.

Avoid at all costs - Wanstead deserves better.
