The Running Horses, Lydiate

Visited the pub one day last week with my partner for a bite to eat after a bike ride down the canal. Food was mediocre, and definitely was not home cooked and fresh (as stated on the menu). Can't say much about the staff and what I presume was one of the owners who was sat in the corner looking like he'd rather be somewhere else. The man behind the bar, which I assume was the manager, was not someone who I would want running my pub. His appearance was atrocious, he looked like he hadn't slept or been home for days and I'm almost certain he had been drinking whilst working as when I was placing my order I could smell alcohol on his breath (which is not ideal for a child friendly pub) and I'm almost certain he had no teeth. However, the girl who served us our meals was very welcoming and polite, I think her name was Gemma. shame that the rest of the staff were miserable, must take after their owner. Won't be visiting again anytime soon! Don't be fooled by the rating I have given as that was purely for the girl mentioned above
