Second time here and it was very disappointing.
Last time I visited, we were greeted by a lovely lady. Who made our night even though we couldn't drink in the pub, and only take away! Fab!
So tonight, I arrived with my two friends- signed in, handsanitsed, and then ordered our drinks and sat down.
While ordering out drinks the bloke behind the bar was very abrupt to my friend about what shots the pub stocked, thought ok no problem, continued to our seats.
Outside seating area was well presented and beautiful.
Only downside was the depressing music that was being played.
I approached the bloke behind the bar, and asked if there's was anyway of changing the genre of songs as it was awfully draining, who which my surprised I was greeted with a very abrupt response of "it's a juke box, its playing random songs".
I can't speak for every one in the pub but I, nor my friends didn't like his manner nor his approach to his customers this evening. I witnessed another table walk out and I over heard them mention as it was about his manner and attitude.
I physically with my own eyes watched him being rude to another customer when he took his pint back as he asked for a different pint to what he was given, and his reply off the barman was "you pointed to this one not carling", there was no need for his manner nor tone.
This wasn't the only incident I witnessed tonight.
I'm hoping when and if I return, either the lady is working or the barman has had an attitude change.
My stay wasn't long because of this, hopefully next time will be more enjoyable.
The only little downside is that parking can be problematic.
