The Telegraph , Putney Heath

We live locally and were pleased to see that the pub had been refurbished. When it first opened we thought how welcoming the the place was, however we noted the drinks were quite expensive.
Over time however we have noted a change in the attitude of the staff, i.e. not as welcoming as before. We have been over charged, and certain items of the foods menu can be quite expensive. i.e. �5 plus for some puddings!
I ordered some food one evening, the barman seemed to feel he was doing me a favour by serving me, very brusqe in his manner. Extremely suspicious of the fact that I wished to pay by credit card. I had to ask for a receipt.
I have to day that I think the pub lacks warmth over-all. We have not been made to feel terribly welcome, possibly because we don't look the part, and I rather get the feeling that image is more important than service...like a lot of places these days.
After being overcharged again, we will not be returning!
