Wheatsheaf, Southwark

On the plus side it has a good selection of beers. Unfortunately, the pleasant ale is spoilt by the sour taste left in your mouth at having to interact with the bar staff. The status quo is "couldn't give a ****" (fair enough) but the service I experienced last time was the final straw. Having booked a booth weeks in advance for birthday celebrations and to watch the Six Nations, we arrrived to find it had been given away to the landlords mates. Trying to explain to the duty manager was fun - not interested, no hint of an apology, outright rude. My advice would be to go to the other Wheatsheaf just round the corner - where the staff still possess the will to live.
