The Beech Tree, Bromley

This is a terrible, terrible pub. I knew the Starbuck family who years ago ran this pub, and it is a shame to see this pub run by an amatuer. The best thing this place could do is get rid of the manager, whoever it is at the moment, as they clearly have no clue.
I've only ever seen one staff member smile and be polite, adressing me as 'Sir' and my wife as 'Maddam' (which I don't see as a necessity but at least a bit of recognition came from him instead of the usual grunt and glare.) Most of the staff are happy to serve flat beer and bitter lemon bottles that are out of date. This was now a few months ago. I kept going back with my wife to give it another chance but I think now is the time to stop trying.
