The New Inn, Clapham

We were very disappointed when we went out of our way to visit this 2009 GBG pub. The service was slow, they got our food order wrong, the foreign waiter made Fawlty Towers' Manuel seem competent, and the Copper Dragon Golden Pippin was luke warm because the elderly barmaid didn't pull some ale through the pipes before she pulled our beer.

I believe this pub lost the chap who looked after the ales really well and since then the beers have gone down the pan. Now hardly worth the 2009 GBG entry it gained when he was still around. Last time I visited it seemed to be back in the bad times : utterly dead; there was only member of staff who was more interested in his chavvy mates at the quiz machine than actually working.

The pub has improved a lot in recent times and is in the latest GBG. Well worth a visit.
