| Could not believe how rude the waiter upstairs was - mentioned in previous reviews as a rude little chap. He was rude when we told him we weren't ordering food and said we would be moved If someone that wanted food arrived. Joke. Never heard of a pub that does that. Then my boyfriend went to get a pint and a coffee and as the bar maid was handing him the already made coffee the same waiter came over, yanked the coffee out of her hand and simply said "we don't serve hot drinks to those who don't order food". Obviously he was lying and just wanted to be a little s**t. We left. What a dreadful little place. myohmy85 - 28 Jan 2012 16:40 |
| I must have caught this pub on a good day!! Cheery barmaid (although after she served me she did spend a lot of time chatting to her mates - but to be fair no customers were kept waiting long). I had a half of a guest beer (sorry forgotten which one it was) but it was OK and it looks like I will have to visit again just to see if I really did miss out on the experiences of other reviewers. mcroyal - 5 Jan 2012 12:28 |
| A truly hideous pub! I’ve just been reading the comments about the short chap who's really rude to people. When we went in, he offered to let us sit in the upstairs seats (marked bar/restaurant) but pointed out we would be shifted at the drop of a hat if people came in to eat. Fair enough. Having looked at the menu, we decided we would actually like to eat after all. We went to get the drinks in, and one friend asked for a glass of dry white wine. What he served her wasn't the house wine, it was something more expensive. She politely queried this and he shouted at her and bullied her into buying the more expensive one. Then he shouted at my heavily pregnant friend for "only" buying a lime & soda and indicated that we should all be putting out change in the 'tips' tray. When it was my turn to be served, he didn't have anything to shout at about, but decided to get stuck into me about the 'outrageous' behaviour of my friends instead. He then misheard my order, gave me one drink instead of the two that I'd asked for and sighed dramatically when I had to repeat that I wanted two pints. Needless to say, we didn't order food. We decided to drink up as quickly as possible, while the staff paced ominously up and down behind us. There were a lot free seats downstairs, but we didn't want to sit there as it smelled of fetid, blocked, rotting toilets – although attempts had been made at masking this with a powerful cinnamon-scented disinfected. It didn’t work. Still poor, clueless tourists and heavily pregnant ladies who just need to sit down anywhere as quickly as possible should keep this unpleasant place afloat.

| Tried to go here for lunch today. A friend had made a reservation by phone. We were told by an extremely unhelpful owner/manager that they don't take reservations on Saturdays, that we must be mistaken, etc. etc. No apologies for the confusion, no attempt to find out which barman had accepted the reservation, no suggestion that we might like to have a drink while we wait for a table to become free, etc., so we left. Clearly this pub has enough tourists and does not need your business, and will treat you accordingly. JdeP - 26 Nov 2011 18:54 |
| 5 beers on yesterday at £3.60 a pint. Pretty busy in the early evening. It's Ok but there are better pubs in the area. Lunchtime food menu looked quite reasonably priced but more expensive in the evenings. cheshirecat - 23 Sep 2011 09:31 |
