The Dog and Partridge, Thorpe

We visited this pub last weekend hoping to enjoy a decent carvery after a long walk in the surrounding area. The alarm bells should really have been ringing after receiving curse and quite frankly rude service from the barmaid making us feel distinctly unwelcome in her pub.
However, we were hungry and as the car park had been full we agreed that the place must have something to offer and went through into the carvery dining room. What a mistake! We received poor service (rude, moody and extremely unfriendly) atrocious food (like hospital food but worse) and, following a complaint about the aforementioned issues, an argument with the manager. We were told that no one else had EVER complained about the food there (obviously a lie judging by the other reviews) and we were told that we obviously didn't know what good food or service was!!!! We left very quickly after he shouted 'Get out of my pub' and vowed never to return. I would implore anyone even contemplating a visit this pub to reconsider.
