On Sunday the 24 th November 2024 at 12.30, we visited the Greyhound pub in Carshalton for a Sunday lunch reunion with my family who are visiting from france. It was the first time in 15 years we had seen them so it was a very special occasion. We wanted a traditional English pub with a good English roast dinner. The atmosphere couldn't have been better and the food was outstanding. However we were totally dumbfounded when as soon as we had finished our meal we were told we had 5 minutes to make way for the next guests. I had literally just finished eating and we hadn't even been offered a desert! We didnt want to make a scene but we did make our feelings known to the lady who, i presume was a manager. However she was defensive and claimed she understood we were having a special occasion, the next guests had specifically asked for that table and that we need to move to another table. We were so shocked. Then about 5 minutes later, another lady came and announced, in a rather sarcastic manner, that we can stay until 7 in the evening if we wanted as they had found another table for the other guests. Needless to say our experience had soured considerably and we just wanted to go. When i payed, the gentleman who served me was nice and recommended i left this review and to be honest. I don't like giving bad reviews, but i would like to feel i could go back another time. As everything was so perfect up until what i consider to be really bad management of their guests. I really hope that i get a satisfactory response as we all feel really annoyed and upset over the experience. Julian
