The Cuckfield, Wanstead

Until yesterday had great things to say about this pub.

We ordered 3 Sunday lunches 2 pork 1 beef (as they only had one left) hence the 2 pork. Otherwise it would have been 2 beef 1 pork - worth noting as it is relevant later.

Anyway, 2 of the 3 lunches arrived. When we pointed out to the girl that we ordered 3 - 2 pork, 1 beef. She told us that's what the ticket said and that's what we ordered. No offer of an apology and if she could have done she'd probably have stuck her fingers up at us.

My point being that if we ordered 3, therefore we were expecting 3 and hence the question! Silly girl was too short sighted to see that the guy who took the order may have cocked up. the fact we had a tab meant this wasn't brought to our attention sooner either.

Following that disaster, my drink was swiped away before I had finished it! This time the bar man, who's manner escaped him too, returned with a thimble of beer to replace the glass he'd had his grubby fingers in (he tried to give me the glass back after his hands had been in it!).

Had we received an apology and admission that they had got it wrong, or not experienced the sloppy table service, I wouldn't be writing this.

I am sure there are better pubs in Wanstead to enjoy.
