The Travellers Friend, Woodford Green

This is a very good pub, but that is not to say it is a nice pub. Beer very good and the locals as good as anywhere, no loud music or loud people. Not very friendly bar staff - any of them - must be trained to be miserable - but so what you can't have everything. I choose to drink there by choice because overall it is a cracking pub, just don't expect the red carpet to be put out, or a smile from behind the bar, that's just the way it is. Take it or leave it, I vote with my feet and go through the door, this pub would be nearer a perfect score if the staff were better. The landlord who has just died was a top bloke, he would offer a welcome and a cheerio, he is sadly missed in my opinion.
