| Came in for lunch today. Very nice. I paricularly want to mention the Antipodean barmaid who is friendly, efficient and enthusiastic. When she got caught up with a big round and a couple of us were waiting she called on the cutlery polisher to give her a hand, which has been lacking here sometimes. The man who pulled my first pint was nice too. My main grumble about the Cuckfield at the moment is no wi fi. I'm sure plenty of people, like me, would bring their laptops to work over a pint or two. seanfarrell68 - 27 Jan 2012 13:05 |
| One of the nicest pubs in the area, food looks yummy (can't say I've eaten here, usually just pop in for a pint on my way home) staff have always been friendly if a bit flustered at times. Blue Moon on draft is always a bonus. tedders83 - 17 Dec 2011 03:23 |
| Usual grumble about the Cuckfield. Mid afternoon Thursday I went to the bar to get a second pint. One man behind the bar got caught up with women ordering bottles of wine and left me dangling my fiver for about 5 mins unacknowledged. A woman member of staff was floating around and could easily have pulled my pint but didn't. I cut my losses and am now at The Nightingale down the road where I was served instantly. Had lunch in Cuckfield on Sunday and had to wait close to 10 mins to buy a drink each time. There simply weren't enough people serving to cope with all the food orders, big rounds, capuccinos etc. A shame because the pub has a lot going for it. In general it's better than the terrible service a couple of years ago but obvious things still elude this pub. They have a "feedback" form on their website which takes ages to go through and is completely unnecessary because they should know people are waiting ages and do something about it. seanfarrell68 - 15 Sep 2011 16:25 |
| Until yesterday had great things to say about this pub. We ordered 3 Sunday lunches 2 pork 1 beef (as they only had one left) hence the 2 pork. Otherwise it would have been 2 beef 1 pork - worth noting as it is relevant later. Anyway, 2 of the 3 lunches arrived. When we pointed out to the girl that we ordered 3 - 2 pork, 1 beef. She told us that's what the ticket said and that's what we ordered. No offer of an apology and if she could have done she'd probably have stuck her fingers up at us. My point being that if we ordered 3, therefore we were expecting 3 and hence the question! Silly girl was too short sighted to see that the guy who took the order may have cocked up. the fact we had a tab meant this wasn't brought to our attention sooner either. Following that disaster, my drink was swiped away before I had finished it! This time the bar man, who's manner escaped him too, returned with a thimble of beer to replace the glass he'd had his grubby fingers in (he tried to give me the glass back after his hands had been in it!). Had we received an apology and admission that they had got it wrong, or not experienced the sloppy table service, I wouldn't be writing this. I am sure there are better pubs in Wanstead to enjoy.

| Lovely pub with good food, but make sure your not starving hungrey when you order as we waited an hour and half for our meal. Apparently it is even worse on a sunday. However nice place for a drink. TONSAI - 22 Oct 2010 17:29 |
