The Woodman, Carshalton

This pub is lovely, infact they serve very nice food at reasonable prices and the place is clean and tidy with a warm cozy feel to it. However i must stress this is all totally overlooked because of 2 women, if thats what you can call them. Vicky and Laurie, mother and daughter team who own this place. They are quite simply the most nasty, unplesant people i have ever had the misfortune of meeting in my life. When i was in this pub a lady was bitten by Vickys Alsation dog and instantly pulled her top up to reveal a black swollen bruise, the lady complained to Vickys mother Laurie only to be told to stop being "so dramatic and that the dog was a puppy and only playing around". This woman was obviously in total shock and the pub "locals" were obviously going to side with Vicky who looks like a woman not to be messed with and proceeded to out this poor lady with evil glares so she was forced to leave. I have also witnessed Vicky and Laurie taunt female members of staff about their weight and personal apperance in front of laughing peverted regular male customers. Vicky is often intoxicated with alcohol by 8pm most evenings and is extremely aggressive towards anybody who complains about something. I have also seem cocaine use three times in the ladies toilets. And as i said before its just such a shame as this pub would be great if these nasty people did not own it, i am unsure if he still works there but there was a guy called Matt who was the manager who was lovely and treated everyone great and was friendly to all customers, regular or new.
