The Angel, Rotherhithe

WARNING: DO NOT BOOK THIS PUB FOR ANY FUNCTION / EVENT!

Last year we came here for my sisters birthday.
We booked the room upstairs two weeks in advance.
We are a small group of nice, respectful people and were treated like dirt by the management.

Our friend askd the barman if we could by my sister a bottle of Champaign for her birthday.
He said they didnt sell it but if we bought it at the local offi, the pub would supply the glasses.
This is what we did.
There was no music upstairs and because we were the only people, we put some music on low just from my iphone.

Halfway through the night a man who i presume was the landlord stormed upstairs and without any
warning or grace, aggressively told us "i dont like that" [pointing to the champaign] and
"i dont like that" pointing to the iphone.
We tried to explain that the barman said it was ok and it was for my sister birthday but he continued to aggressively shout at us.

He then said we should of paid £250 to book out the room [which was obviously a lie]
and again didnt listen when we told him that no one told us that when we booked it on the phone.

We must of spent around £2000 in the bar that night.
30 of us all ordering food and drinks all night. and we are polite and friendly to the staff.
And thats how we were treated.
The bad feeling after that, being made to feel very unwelcome, ruined my sisters birthday and i urge you not make the same mistake as we did.
Go somewhere else!
