"A really poor experience here on Sunday 30th January. Myself and my girlfriend went in for an early evening drink, a pint of beer and a Aperol Spritz. Back at the table my girlfriend said to me that her Aperol Spritz didn 't taste right, was very weak tasting overwhelmingly of soda so she went back up to the bar to ask for a splash more Aperol only to be met by a rude female bartender who said that it was a 'standard ' 25mm measure and that we would have to pay over £4... £4.25 if I remember rightly, which we refused to do. Finished our drinks and left. We went to the Orange Tree hotel/pub nearer to Richmond station to be met by a far friendlier welcome and I enquired with the manager there if 25mm is a standard measure of Aperol to which he said absolutely not, 50mm is standard with 125mm of prosecco and a splash of soda. Therefore the issue was one of the following, 1. The female bartender has not been trained correctly, 2. Fullers are not following the recommended Aperol Spritz recipe as per Aperol 's website (clearly says the measure should be 50mm), 3. The pub itself is not following Fullers guidance and is doing this as a cheap shot way to raise profits. Either way we will not be returning. It also smelt pretty bad in there too."
