But on this count alone, in the last ten years of pub-going in London, I've seen a big drop in the number of bar staff looking up to see if you're leaving. It's probably running at about 50/50 these days.<br /><br />I might have to start keeping a list.Gueuzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18382458435310208845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-52831468361550577842012-04-23T17:29:25.980+01:002012-04-23T17:29:25.980+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Gueuzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18382458435310208845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-3498651628472919722012-04-23T15:45:44.557+01:002012-04-23T15:45:44.557+01:00The girlfriend used to live in Bethnal Green so M&...The girlfriend used to live in Bethnal Green so M&T became our go to for a decent Sunday lunch.

Nice chat with the bar staff and manager about the beers on offer, tasters proffered, and what came across as real interest in what I was doing in the area prompted by them noticing the Pevsner guide I was clutching. The beer (Brewsters Stilton Porter) was in tip top form too, and I'll be back next time in the area. As you say, just shows what can be done with just a bit of effort. I occasionally force myself to go to Brew Wharf, because,yes, the beer is generally good, but the overall experience is usually pretty miserable... <br /><br />TomReading Tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-20659154139483608242012-04-23T11:32:10.946+01:002012-04-23T11:32:10.946+01:00Have to agree about BrewWharf.
