The Old Red Lion, Great Brickhill

I used to love coming to this pub, although I have always had to put up with a cold and lofty reception from the staff. I am a social Care Worker, and a few weeks ago I bought a few of my severely disabled clients here. The staff were very rude about having to provide receipts for the drinks that each client purchased because it was too much effort for them. I then went back a few days ago, I had an absolutely disgusting reception from the staff. I found them to be rude and uncooperative to the point of being down right nasty. My friend and I ordered food and tap water. When I went back to the bar to ask for more tap water I was asked to pay £1.20. I politely refused and got the water from a bottle in my car and went to sit back down in the pub garden to eat the food that we had purchased in this establishment. The owner of the pub came storming out, took the food and glasses from beneath the nose of my friend and ordered us to leave because we had caused the waste of two glasses of water with their ice and their lemon in. I have never ever written a review about a pub, but never before have I experienced such awful treatment by any body, let alone people in the public service industry. I am thoroughly disgusted. Its such a shame too, because the views are beautiful and the location is lovely.
