THE CAMBRIA, CAMBERWELL

Used to be an ok, average boozer. Nice mix of people and just generally pretty unremarkable but reliable. Until now. In the last couple of weeks there has been a change of management, and a distinct attempt to turn it into another Sun and Doves type bar (rather than a pub)

There's now art for sale on the walls, a dedicated no smoking area, and lots of kids ramping around AND the comfy sofas have gone. Service is rubbish too. There was only one bloke serving at sunday lunchtime, including taking out food orders. It took 40mins for 2 roasts to come (and not before mine had been served to another customer, and then re-presented to me cold)

It's my local, but I won't be back in a hurry.
