The Cuckfield, Wanstead

Painfully slow service, expensive drinks and SURLY bar staff who think they're far too good to be working there (which ironically, most of the evening, they aren't).

Avoid this dump unless you fancy spending most of your night queuing for a beer.

The Pontefract Castle, Marylebone

Good pub. Nice decor, good range of ales with a reward scheme (buy 4, get 5th free). To top it off, one side leads into St Christopher's Place; great for watching a better class of totty walk by.

Rockys, Buckhurst Hill

This is currently on its 5th or 6th reinvention since the days of the Blue Mondays bar, and is presently a Turkish restaurant.

Pointless me giving a recommendation as it's no longer a bar, although it's just a matter of time until it comes full circle and reopens as some plastic, V.I.P, Bling, R'n'B, free entry for ladies, brrraapppp, Cristal, sunbed, Jack Tweed frequented (pre-sentencing) sort of a place that Essex needs more of.

I'm taking the piss here, obviously...
