The Hunt Hotel, Linslade

Food, service and atmosphere to all be fantastic?

I would like to register my DISGUST at all three.

I attended this place because of a wedding function. Being an out of towner I was not aware of the God awful reputation this place has in the immediate area but I soon discovered why this place attracts so many strong feelings.

During the wedding reception my Mother became ill and had to be rushed to hospital. I and other family members went to the hospital to check if she was alright. We arrived back at the Hotel at 23:50. We were tired, hungry and distressed. Staff were still on duty clearing up the tables and we asked if we could have a cup of tea and a plate of sandwiches. "No, go to bed" was the only reply we got from the glowering landlord. Then he stormed out of the room leaving embarresed staff to explain that once the kitchen has closed no food of any kind will be served.

This happened a few months ago and I still feel angry at the contempt aimed at my family after such a distresssing experience. I don't normally wish failure on anyone but sincerely hope that the public find out just how much of a shithole this place is and close it down.
