The Garibaldi, Burnham

It transpires that the Licensee's partner, Mark, was arrested on November 11th, (after the incident posted), for dropping his trousers in the bar. He is also barred from two pubs in Burnham for anti-social behaviour. Would you take your family to the Garibaldi?

The Garibaldi, Burnham

I had a bad experience in this pub. On Remembrance Sunday I had been to the local British Legion and was in army uniform. I was with my wife and we popped into the Gari for a quiet drink. The barman was pretty tight and a bloke standing nex...t to me struck up conversation about the band which had led the parade. The barman butted into the conversation and said that his parents were Irish Catholics and that if I wanted grief he would drag me across the bar and pound my face in. We walked out. I called the Gari when I arrived home and asked to speak to Judy, the Licensee, she wasn’t available. I left my number and a message for her to call me. She didn’t call so I phoned her on Monday 12th November. Judy was aware that an incident had taken place, but defended the barman, her Partner, Mark, by saying that it had been her birthday on the Saturday and he had been drunk. I didn’t quite understand this as the incident had occurred on Sunday. “All I can do is apologise”, she said. I left it at that. So, why was this bloke, Mark, left in charge of a pub if he was drunk? Does he abuse all people in uniform? Or is he just a drunken lout? The Gari used to be a good pub; it’s a pity that it has sunk so low.See more
