Madden's, East Finchley

We've been going to Madden's for years. Great staff, ale and atmosphere. Best local in East Finchley.

The Dulwich Woodhouse, Sydenham

Disappointed to say the least. Service for a start was painfully slow. The pub was very empty � although I did find the staff watching the US V Slovenia match (perhaps that was the problem?)

15 minute for drinks- water, lemonade & apple juice- complicated I know.

We ordered three mains- two of which were very good. The hamburger however was cooked on the outside and raw on the inside. Had to search for a member of staff to the hamburger situation rectified. Was it better on return? No not really. Although, it did make a good toasted cheese sandwich once I discarded the 11.95 burger.

The bill totalled �41.00, which in my view is way too much for a meal & service that would only rival your local Harvester.

As a North Londoner, I am not that familiar with the South London scene. I am CAMRA member but as this was work related lunch, there was no ale involved. I was so annoyed by the food and service that I honestly could not even consider the drinks on offer as I would never come back! Sorry guys�huge thumbs down from me.
