The Globe, Dunstable

This site is for voicing opinions on pubs as a whole, and the way the pub is run and certain staff conduct themselves will ultimately fall into this category therefore I feel this is not a personal attack but an opinion. And it is unfortunate that my opinion happens to be a negative one. The globe for me is rapidly on the decline with an introduction of a poker night. This for me see's the globe fall into the same category as all the lager drinking pubs within the area and it looses the asset of being 'different' and 'traditional'. Fundamentally all the decisions are made by the landlady, many of which have not benefitted this once great pub so it is not a personal attack but mere fact! So Mark56 stop being so sensitive and feel this is personal, however your response shows you are clearly one of the select few involved at a personal level with the landlady!

I have been a regular in the globe now for many years and a member of camra and i regret to inform people of the decline in the pub since the takeover of the current landlady. I have witnessed on many occasion rude comments being made by her about customers and even staff and she will only greet you if she likes you! she very rarely helps out behind the bar on a busy weekend and i myself have been standing waiting as she is reluctant to move from her perch at the end of the bar which any quality land lord would do! she frequently drinks to excess and gets loud and abusive towards her staff infront of customers which i found very unproffessional! Her knowledge of real ale is frankly laughable, constantly serving sub standerd beer with the phrase 'its the atmospherics, or its hazy but tastes nice'...no it doesnt!! If it wasnt for the staff and the fondness people have for them your pub would be empty. The hostile nature she gives off is not a good advertisment for the once brilliant pub. All in all her careless attitude towards the pub and its devout customers and staff will be the destruction of it unless B+T sort it out QUICK! UNPROFESSIONAL in every aspect of her work with little or no knowledge of the job she does!
