The Horniman at Hays, Southwark

Absolutely dreadful! Impressive decor and proximity to the Thames but there was a twenty-five minute wait for every drink. The busier this pub got, the fewer the available staff. Perhaps close the kitchen earlier and concentrate on good bar service. Don't be tempted; the poor service and condition of the toilets was enough to ensure I will not be drinking in this pub again. Make the most of the passing tourist trade, Nicholsons.
