The Rising Sun, Mossley

Can't believe it! I've only just read the former reviews and discovered others have experienced similar problems. So I'm not being paranoid, phew! If the landlord and landlady ever read this, it might help for them to know because otherwise, you have a wonderful pub and have done a fabulous job since taking it on. I also enjoy the Railway, my friends are locals and would even consider myself a local.

The Rising Sun, Mossley

I loved this pub until recently. It has a fantastic range of really good beers including two from Millstone. They also have folk nights and various other things on and I've enjoyed many a night there. However my last two visits have really put me off. The time before last, the barmaid served me a pint which I relaxed at the bar with. There was a man in the corner of the bar who the barmaid was obviously well acquainted with. It wasn't a particularly busy night but when I'd finished my drink and wanted another, the barmaid ignored me, served others and whispered things to her friend at the bar who gave continuous shifty looks at me. I wondered if it was me being paranoid and thought perhaps she hadn't realised I was waiting to be served but after virtually shouting for attention, I realised she was ignoring me. I had no alternative but to leave. As the pub is on my travels, after a couple of weeks of contemplation, I came to the decision that perhaps I had been paranoid and that the barmaid and man at the bar who I had never met couldn't possibly be behaving to me like that so I went in again (hoping that there would be someone different behind the bar). However, unfortunately she was there again and the man at the bar behaving in exactly the same way to me except no pint at all this time! Don't think I'll be going in again.
