| Three women and two men are enjoying themselves in a busy pub -- the King Charles Tavern in Newbury -- on a Saturday night in April 2012. One of them, who happens to have been a once-a-week regular for the last five years, grabs a napkin to mop up a little spill. And to her surprise the landlord goes berserk. Why? Because the napkin was wrapped around a knife and fork. And as you know, it takes an awful long time to wrap up the cutlery in this way... Okay... Hold on... Fair enough, you think. It *does* take time and energy to wrap those things up. Maybe we should have asked for some unwrapped napkins... If only there had been some of those lying around on the bar... But there weren't, and that spill *did* need mopping up quickly. So what's a girl to do? ... Well, anything but unwrap some cutlery, it seems. The landlord gets aggressive. We're taken aback. "Seriously?!" asks the once-a-week regular. Apparantly so. We're asked to leave, which is disappointing given that we have full drinks and the night is young. But the landlord makes it quite clear that we are unwelcome in his shitty Greene King pub. He arrives at this decision very quickly. You wonder if he would have made the same decision if he had thought it over for just a brief fraction of a moment. "Hold on..." he might have thought. "Isn't that the nice friendly girl who comes here every Tuesday night and shares a bottle of red with her friend and always orders food?" No. Instead he tells us to leave. And as long as he's running the place, we'll never come back. Fuck him. Please tell your friends to boycott the KC in Newbury. #newbury #napkingate frilsham - 8 Apr 2012 01:31 |
| I WILL NEVER RETURN TO THIS PUB.... Rude and abusive landlord for utterly no reason .... I was there with my wife and friends and were thrown out for using a napkin without asking.... Not even an exaggeration ... The place is a total dive. chinaman128 - 7 Apr 2012 22:53 |
| Awful toilets, probably some of the worst in Newbury. Too small to be a pub and one of the bar maids always has a proper shitty look on her face. pirate400 - 21 Mar 2011 15:59 |

| Rough and ready town centre pub. I assume it's Greene King run, as their usual policy of IPA and Abbot being on and the guest beer being off applied here. The IPA was insipid bordering on undrinkable - ended up leaving half of it though not before being barged in the back by some buffoon carrying a pram in to the pub. If this is 'arguably the best pub in town' I'm so glad I don't live there. Snarling_Mallard - 11 Oct 2009 12:43 |
