We visited the John Gilbert in Worsley over the first bank holiday weekend in May 2012 and I feel I must tell all about our experience.

When we orded our first round of drinks at the bar I found the young barman to be abrupt but put this down to his young age, it was the manager that was something else!

On ordering the second round of drinks at the bar I payed the Manager with cash and he then proceeded arrograntly to flick MY CHANGE in the tip jar behind the bar without asking, infact he didn't even look at me and then turned his back and spoke to the young barman.

I have never been so discussed in all my life I was fuming!

I didn't complain to him as we were waiting for our meals and you never know.

The food was also poor really being served luke warm and coming in spurts and the waitress who had to be called everytime we wanted service, I say service but it was poor and without a smile miserable infact, her opening line was "what do you want"

Searching the internet it seems we were not alone with our bad experience.

With fifty pubs a week closing maybe the staff at the John Gilbert prefer to join the 2 million+ unemployed.

Anyway Peeps spend your money elsewhere.

Very smart and comfy. In about 6 visits over the last few months I have always had good service and excellent food. No the cheapest place in the world, but you pay for quality and if thats what you want, its here. Minor gripe that the cask ale seemed a little indifferent, could do with a little more choice.

Your typical worsley toffs pub. Car key jangling tosspots talking absolute bullshit. I dont know what is more pretencious the pub itself or the people who frequent the place.

Went in Boxing Day night, charged £10 and the place was packed. Beer was good and the prices reasonable when you eventually got to the bar. Great singer on.
