So bad I barred myself - Part 1

The Temperance Bar in Fulham, not very good.


The bar order.

W2N2- ‘You have no Guinness? Any recommendations?'

TTB- ‘A lot of people like this.’

W2N2- ‘Which lagers are good?’

TTB- ‘A lot of people like this.’

W2N2- ‘I’ll have 3 pints of the expensive blonde beer then please, cheers’

W2N2- ‘Do you order food at the bar’?

TTB- ‘Yah mate’!

W2N2- ‘I’ll be back in a minute.'


W2N2- ‘Could I order a Club sandwich it comes with chips I think, and the burger with cheese, bacon and mushrooms please?’

TTB- ‘The Club doesn’t come with chips mate. Do you want to order them as a side? They’re £1.75.’

W2N2- ‘Yes, why not.'

TTB- ‘Dunno which burger you mean mate?? There's no description programmed into the till.’

W2N2- Do you have a menu handy? I have left mine on the table and I can’t see the burger on the boards’

TTB- ‘Nah mate.’


3 members of staff eventually took the order, stabbing the till in desperation.

W2N2- ‘Are you sure you have my order correct?’

The crowd groaned behind me.

TTB- 'Yah mate, give me your table number, that’s £17.80 Mate.’

W2N2- ‘Mate? I hate that!'


Part I - The club sandwich

Some brown edged lettuce, a few slithers of crappy bacon and what appeared to be fine shreds of chicken. Cheap, runny mayonnaise however, brought attention to the 6 chips that cost £1.75, great value! Not.


Part II - The Burger

Wrong toppings, no cheese, served with old salad and a long wait.

W2N2-’Excuse me!’


A few questions sailed through my mind again…

Why is the food crap? Yet your prices expensive? Why is your beer crap? Prices expensive? Why is the service crap? Why can’t you make the simplest of food properly?
