The beer is good, the staff average, the food is store brought in and microwaved. I don't know Thames Ditton well, but this seems the best of a poor bunch.

Could a pub (or a resturant in this case) have worse service?

I've been twice, the first time I watched the barman argue with a customer over how to make a white wine spritzer (surely you just say "Yes sir" and make it the way the customer wants?), however, I was prompted into this revue by the unfortunate experience I had this weekend. Despite having reserved a table, we had to wait for the only person who could help us ("Don't talk to me, Dave's the only one who can help you"). Lunch with two small children took 4 hours. Over an hour for our main courses to arrive. It's easier to get your own drinks.

What a waste of such a great location and building.
