The Trafalgar, Chelsea

This is a nice pub, but the staff are always amazingly rude. It is one of those places where you have to expect to wait for 10-15 mins at the bar even when it is not particularly busy - because the staff couldn't care less if you get served or not.

we go in regularly but last night was the most offensive to date and has made me bother to write this. One particularly irritating barman actually told us to go home then when we commented on a 15 minute wait for a bottle of white wine. When we asked to see the manager (sudden flash of pub rage)the bloke in charge slouched over and clearly didn't care either, just shrugged at us. So, we all felt cross, collected our stuff and stomped off to a lovely little quiet, cheaper and nicer pub round the corner called the Coopers, which is where I'll go first next time
