Rose & Crown, Longburton

Very disappointed with this establishment. I took my grandchildren for the walk advertised by the Brewery.
Really good walk that was just over two hours. Needless to say we were all hungry and thirsty when we had finished our walk.
I took the children into the pub and ordered some soft drinks that came to just over £11.
There were about six people in the pub and no one whatsoever in the back garden which had at least ten tables.
I asked the landlord if we could sit discreetly in the back garden and eat a sandwich we had brought with us. He said "I'd rather you didn't" so we went into the field where we had started our walk and ate there. I realise the pub is there to make a living but I am a pensioner and thought the landlord might show some kindness and let us just sit and eat our sandwich as there wasn't anyone around to see. I could of sat at the back without asking but that's not in my nature. A little kindness would have gone a long way but what a disappointment!! I certainly will not recommend this place to my friends or go there again myself. Please take note anyone going on the Brewery walk.
