Edwards Bar, Hammersmith

DUMP - STAY AWAY! and not only that - THEY'RE THIEVES!
Don't give Edwards any money!
Not only the worst pub I've been to in years as regards (a) drink quality - flat beer with tiny choice on draught, (b) prices - a pint and a glass of wine costs just under �9.00, (c) clientele - alco-pop-swigging men in cheap suits groping pissed up secretaries, staggering teens (d) hygiene - the whole place looks as if it needs a good scrub - tables not cleaned between customers (they say that they're too understaffed) - but if they short-change you and you notice, they won't give you the money back, they tell you to write to the head-office!

I was meeting my wife there before we went to a concert and we had one drink. As the barmaid handed me my change, I saw that it was change of a tenner, not a twenty as I had given her (only one note with me). She finally got the manager who told me to come back the next day after he had done the till. I couldn't and wouldn't come back then (I live in North London) and he made a issue out of counting the till, finally concluding that I was lying!

He told me that if he gave me my tenner back, he'd lose his job and gave me the head office address to write to. Naturally, I haven't heard anything and warning others is my only comeback.

As there's no minus rating for the stealing, I'm rating it zero.
