| Me and m'colleagues visited this dump on Friday for the France-Italy match. the barman had pinned a note up saying they were showing the cricket, when we asked if we could watch the football they said "No" very brusquely, and when we asked why the chap said "I don't care!". OK, their pub, their rules, trade was disappearing out the door as people realised, then when a mate asked for a top-up of his pint, served well below the line, the barmaid said "Have you drunk some?". Nice, get accused of theft just for asking to get what you're are paying for! Legendarily rude bar staff in a pub that has very few regulars and relies on tourists who they know won't return so they treat them like dog turds. the place is heaving with bar flies too, there's a chorus of slapping as people swat at them. A dirty, obnoxious boozer that needs a reality check. gorblimeytrousers - 16 Jun 2008 10:43 |
| I Would like to post a reply to this comment. I used to work at the old Thameside and i personally was one of the bar men involved with serving these very rude two customers. Firstly the reason they were told they couldnt have a stamp on their ale trail map was because they didnt buy an ale. That is the sole purpose of the trail: an ALE TRAIL map and an ALE TRAIL T-SHIRT. not a coke and lager trail!! they were not happy with my reply and started shouting and demanding a t-shirt to which i replyed i believe we have sold out. The Manager then came over and explained the same thing that i had. The two friendly gentlemen then decided it would be a good idea to wave the map in the face of the manager. they lent over the bar almost rubbing the leaflet to the managers face. The manager then removed the leaflet and continued to serve the customers he was already serving. These gentlemen then started shouting demanding their t-shirts. Finally in a failed attempt to satisfy them they were given two t-shirts from the display leaving the display looking sad and empty. so all in all, thank you for ruining my day. please call again. Wow! What a terrible end to an otherwise great evening. Great location for a pub without a doubt, but the staff's obnoxiously rude behavior taints this pub beyond repair. I highly recommend against ever going, ESPECIALLY if you're on the official Nicholson's pub crawl and looking to get a shirt. The manager at first didn't want to honor the terms of the pub crawl and then lied about not having shirts. In the end, the manager tore the map out of my hand and tossed it in the garbage and gruffly told someone to get shirts for us. My friend and I were polite from the start and we did nothing whatsoever to earn such treatment. Obviously, the manager has no interest in the pub crawl, despite clearly displayed signs saying that they welcome crawlers. Shame on you! Wacko30 - 10 Jun 2008 16:20 |
| Just a quick follow-up to my post of 12 April in order to give management of the pub and Nicholson's proper respect for promptly responding to a formal complaint that I made through Nicholson's. The individuals with whom I spoke were sincere in offering apology for the poor service and offered to make it up to me and my mate. That shows real class. Thanks. befox - 10 May 2008 11:11 |

| Run-of-the-mill Nicholsons pub, with the usual "how do they manage to turn decent beer into this insipid brown beverage" offering. When asked to have my nearly 0.85 of a full glass topped up, the bar person gave me one of those "have you just wandered in from 'planet Full Pint'" looks. Did eventually get something resembling a proper measure of Titanic Brewery Capt. Smiths, but won't be hurrying back. rpadam - 17 Apr 2008 22:56 |
