The Nell Gwynne, Covent Garden

This used to be one of our favourite little haunts however it is sadly in a downhill spiral thanks in main to some very poor staff, they're friendly but sadly lacking in understanding good pubmanship. Popped in last night to give it another try, only Bombadier or Best on, had the Bombadier (it wasn't great!) but stuck some tunes on the Jukebox anyway. At 22:50 the jukebox was switched off, most of the bar stools were placed on the bar and sweeping up commenced ......there were still at least 12 punters left, we certainly felt very unwelcome. Sadly this isn't the first time we've had this experience in the Nell recently, we won't be bothering again!
