The Bridge Inn, Shoreham by Sea

I couldn't agree more with karakel and joe beers. After all the wonderful things i'd heard about the food here i thought i must give it a go. The rumours were true, the food is great but THE LANDLADY IS AWFULL! During my meal and couple of beers i witnessed the landlady embarassing and disiplining two members of staff seperately in front of the customers (the staff by the way are excellent and really do the pub proud), fake smiles at customers followed by quite cartoon like glares once their backs were turned not to mention her abrupt and arrogant approach to my wife and i. My over all impression of the landlady is that she does little work and swans around drinking excessively and projecting her undeserved authority over the remarkabley patient bar/ waiting staff. If she does any cellar work, this may explain why both pints of beer were flat and cloudy (no sdisrespect to fullers this is surley just as a result of poor cellar managment. Its a shame she is so fowl as the other staff were a joy and the food was amazing. I will not be returning purley on the basis that the ladlandy is intollerable.
