The Cuckfield, Wanstead

I visited today, with a friend for the first time in a few months. Not great. I noticed with regret that they have TV screens showing sport again. A few years back they made a big point of closing and reopening with a different feel.
The barman, made no effort at all to see who was first at the bar, not even looking up, simply saying ' who's next' or ' anyone ready to order '. It was fortunate that despite being busy, everyone had the manners to take their turn. The first rule of a good barman is to know who is next in line.....
Rather slow in the food dept at clearing away used crockery/cutlery that was simply building up on a pair of tables positioned near the toilets.
