The George and Dragon, Tarring

If you're not a 'regular' yob don't bother!

Despite standing at the (not very busy bar) with a tenner in my hand, the lone barmaid, after shuffling around some slips of paper, turned her attention to the waiting customers. A couple who came into the bar after me, knew the barmaid and she chose to serve them first. Knowing each other of course necessitated a long conversation!

A young lad then arrived behind the bar, and despite me still standing there with my tenner in my hand, he served a guy (who seemed to be a regular) who had just walked up to the bar!!

By then it became apparent that I was either wearing a Cloak of Invisibility, or the staff had chosen not to serve me...so I left.

So if you aren't a "regular" or "in" with the bar staff, I would give the George & Dragon a wide swerve. To do otherwise will only result in frustration & disappointment!
