Dun Cow Inn, Sedgefield

I visit this pub regularly on business and have stayed on several occasions, which I have to say are comfortable but some areas could do with massive improvement such as:- The mention of the "MISERABLE STAFF" probably relates to the related assistant manager and daughters who openly winge about their customers, workmates and employer. It all makes for a strange atmosphere when one of the waitress daughters actually has to do some work, one of whom regularly leaves the bar to do something else leaving customers waiting!! I even heard one resident being told gruffly "YOUR NEXT" whilst complaining about a half hour wait for service whilst watching a local walk in, order taken and food served whilst waiting for service!! There seems to be a smidgeon of staff who do work there who are courteous and cannot do enough to help but they are seldom at work, those mentioned seem to be there a lot and seem to be wrapped up in their private conversations which as mentioned are dissentful to other staff and customers. It seems to me that there is a recipe of nepotism about who works here and how often!! But the food is good and there is a good selection of ales and wines.
