The Temperance, Putney Bridge

this pub is a joke!

it took 15 minutes to get served, only to be told the pumps need changing.......20 minutes later the barman came back to tell me the ale I'm after isn't even stock........35 minutes wait to not get a drink is not great at any time! But when the news is delivered in possibly the rudest manner ever is not acceptable!

the staff are clearly overworked, but that doesn't account for the outright rudeness!

on top of that, the doorman doesn't let people in..........even if your friends are already inside and the pub is still empty.

the food is as bad, if not worse than the bar staff - the chicken burger i had in there once is outrageously bad! it was almost as if the "chef" had gone out of his way to find the stalest bread and cooked it as long as possible to get maximum dryness into the chicken!!!!

i'll not be going back and if you are thinking of going there - DON'T!!!! there are plenty of better pubs around the area...........unless of course you fancy a bit of verbal sparring with some uppity under-trained idiots, a 40 minute wait for a beer you don't want, and a cardboard sandwich!!!!
