The Woodman, Carshalton

I have been going to this pub regularly one day a week for the past 4 years and after 4 years of loyalty i will never set foot in the place again. The whole place has gone downhill drastically! The toilet's stink and there is an eggy/gassy smell at the bar which is made worse by the heating full blast. The prices have also gone UP drastically for no reason! In fact in my experience the prices can change and go up as the night goes on! ..The deciding factor is the absolute rudeness of the manager/owner 'Vicky'. Had experienced her rudeness and moodyness a few times in the few years but overlooked this as she is almost always drunk and in a foul mood so put it down to drink. The last straw was her abusive language and wanting for an argument purely just to have the sad pleasure of barring people. The fact that lots of money has been spent in the bar is meaningless to her and she likes to point that out. The pub is in a nice location & some of the poor down trodden staff are nice people but in my opinion it is in no way deserving of 'Best pub in Sutton '. I for one will never go to this pub again and if anyone ever asks me what the place is like i shall be honest and say it is absolutely not worth wasting your time for a visit!
