| Having eaten with my family at The Green Man yesterday, I will be making official complaints about the current landlady, who I believe is looking to sell the pub. Our roast meals were served on cold plates after a lengthy wait, resulting in our food being cold. The pub had run out of various items of cutlery, had no napkins and our drinks orders were forgotten. Calmly and politely I pointed that our food was cold to the landlady, who shouted at me and my family, called me a weird freak and then ordered us from the pub. It was the worst experience I have ever had in any pub in the world and the current landlady is in no position to hold a license or to deal with public. I cannot stress enough how politely we dealt with this situation and the whole experience was distressing and embarrassing in the extreme. I was then told by the landlady I had no reason to complain that my food was cold. “There are millions of starving people in this world!” she shouted. That I know – little did she know the work I have undertaken for charity over the past 2 years. That said, customers have the right to expect good service when paying nearly £10 per head for a roast dinner. This should be served hot and not cold and should never be emotionally blackmailed as an excuse. I am sure that reading this summery of events may seem one-sided. I can assure anyone reading this they are not – the members of the public in the pub would be able to verify this situation. I am still stunned that a quiet, polite complaint can meet with such an immediate and rude response. Needless to say, my family will never be returning to the Green Man. womble1812 - 1 Dec 2008 10:43 |
| Lol. For 3 years in a row CCC have awarded this restaurant 1 star out of a possible 5 and describe the hygeine/attitude of management as poor....in fact they come in the bottom 10% on their web-site. I would not book my Xmas dinner here I would go to the Red Lion next door at least the toilets are clean and paper towels are provided unlike the Greenman. hogshead - 22 Nov 2008 21:53 |
| Hogshead clearly has a personal problem with the landlord, he has done his research on the pub and posts bad reviews but coninue to go to the pub, he most probably can't resist good beer and good food. i have only ever seen all the staff laughing joking and interacting with the customers. But at least the landlord has the balls to say what is on his mind to peoples faces rather than hiding behind a computer like a coward. Good beer and good food is all i care about certainly not the toilets. i have no doubt hogshead probably sits all alone judging everyone rathers than having some fun! This is a great pub! morebeerplz - 22 Nov 2008 21:09 |
| Oh dear the pub is going down in estimation the Scottish landlord is shouting at his staff in front of his customers shame on you Barry and the toilets are filthy time for another hygeine inspection I think. hogshead - 22 Nov 2008 16:34 |
| Excellent beer, great atmosphere. Had a great chat with the landlord who is a huge cricket fan and very knowledgable about the sport and is clearly passionate about hs pub. We need more landlords like him around. Had a perfectly cooked big steak. He let me into his pub half an hour early so I wouldn't wait outside in the cold. I really had a wonderful night out here. morebeerplz - 20 Nov 2008 21:36 |
