The Goat, Battersea

Everyone seems to agree... This place is a complete dive... Mainly because service is sooooooo baaaaad !!!
I went yesterday(Sunday) with 6 mates for drinks and Sunday Roast. I opened a tab for everyone then ordered drinks... I was told there was not half of the white wines' list available and the staff cannot change a draught barrel of cider by themselves therefore reducing our original order to smithereens... After we reconsidered our choices, I went to order food for everyone and then was told that it was no longer possible to pay with card (so much for opening a tab...) because the card reader was not functioning... And that's with having 3 card readers behind the bar... Strange... I say the staff are just away with the fairies or don't give a toss. I finally ordered after organising the cash... Half an hour later, the food was still nowhere to be seen... We check with one of the bar staff... to be told they have no trace of our order... No apology, just a gormless idiot behind the bar... Finally a girl that seemed a bit more on the ball came over to see us and offered us a round of drinks while she located the order that was not really lost... Oooooh the waste of time... The staff clearly has not got a clue or don't care... They obviously need to be mothered and baby sat... The place is just ludicrous... Avoid at all costs
