The Waterfront, Streatham

Visited on 5 April with two friends and my baby twins. This is one of my local pubs and I thought we would have a good pizza and a chat there.

We got there around 1:30, the pub was empty and the music so loud it was impossible to have a conversation. My friend asked the barman to please turn the volume down but he was very rude and basically ignored her request. I tried asking him a few minutes later and he said 'What? Even more?!' He seemed really bothered by our request, as if we were spoiling his party. What an incredibly rude attitude, not doing the pub a great service, especially as it was empty and I imagine it badly needs customers to keep it going.

Later the delivery guys arrived with beer barrels and more, they made a hell of a lot of noise and kept the door open for ages on a day when it was freezing cold. No apologies for the inconvenience from staff of course!

Overall it was such an unpleasant experience that it put me off visiting again, even if the pizza is great. Such a shame that the staff is so rude.
