Prince Of Wales, Putney

I've lived in Putney for 3 years and the PoW should be our local as its the closest pub to us. We often land up there out of convenience and lack of inspiration but each time I go I kick myself for being stupid.

This joint is expensive, the staff are ALWAYS RUDE, snarky, lazy and look to be sucking lemons. Over the years there have been a couple of bartenders that were friendly and pleasant but they last only a very short time and often speak of appauling management (and worse). It seems management encourage bitter staff.

I went last night as our intended pub was opening late and I swear it will be the last time I ever visit this horrible place. I hate it with a passion. We had one drink (a beer and a cider �8.40) served by a seriously rude and uninterested bar waitress into warm glasses - they've dropped fosters so you can only get 1664 and Red Stripe draft, half the time something is out and they cant be stuffed changing the keg. We left as soon as possible and I will never look back. Go to the Fox (5 pounds for a round), the Coat and Badge or the Jolly Gardener. Anywhere but here.
