The Raven, Stamford Brook

DO NOT GO TO THIS PUB.
I have been going to this pub for 5 years with a blind gentleman who I do voluntary reading to. I have put up with the inadequate and dingy toilet facilities throughout all this time. Recently, the toilet has got even worse, the hand dryer is broken and the soap container was empty.
I have mentioned this issue to the bar staff on numerous occasions and have always been greeted with the usual response of 'We're having a refit in 2 weeks'. Three months later, nada.
I went in there last night and asked an off duty member of staff what was happening with the refit. He objected to me asking him about it when I was off duty and I apologised. His girlfriend then remonstrated with me and said as I am not eating, what does it matter? I stormed out of the pub shouting 'DISGUSTING, DISGUSTING'.
Why is it that my blind friend cannot wash his hands properly?
The attitude of this pub is appalling. STAY AWAY!!

The Duke of Cornwall, Hammersmith

The pub is very efficiently run and boasts one of the finest pool teams in the Hammersmith & Fulham Pool League. When playing pool, watch out for the Teletubbies, who are renowned for fleecing unsuspecting challengers of their tequila shots. Another pool player to watch out for looks the spitting image of Michael Stipes from REM. He has a thick Geordie accent and has been known to evacuate the entire pub by dropping one just as you are about to pot the black. It has the best jukebox in the world, allowing you to download any track off the internet.
