The Bulls Head, Barnes, SW13

I waited for 5 minutes at the bar before anyone appeared behind it to serve me. I'm not a fan of standing around like some mug waiting to be served, especially when I'm surrounded by the smell of half eaten plates of Thai food that haven't been cleared up. An apology may have been nice, but no such luck. Youngs Ordinary was available along with various lagers, but the Special and Bombardier were both off. There was no atmosphere to speak of and at £3.50 a pint you won't ever catch me in here again.

Large Youngs pub facing the river. Has regular live jazz. Has an island bar. Was empty when I visited at lunch time, (must change my aftershave), probably picks up when the live bands are on.
