Sadly myself & 4 quite pals (all over 50) popped in for a night of darts & beers as we saw a dartboard all lit up through the window... unfortunately it was pretty clear they didn't want us in there? The Bar staff seemed genuinely angry that they had to get off a stool,put down their phone and serve us...not a smile,thank you or anything. The 6 other people smattered around the place stared solemnly into their beers while we tried to play darts...they then told us we had to stop playing darts as it was going to get busy?? This was 9:30 on a Saturday night in a small corner away from the main area and it was dead...like I say we were about to play some darts (our own darts as it's a £10 deposit to use theirs) and spend a good few quid in there but we quickly drank up and left... They clearly didn't want our business even on a cold, quiet January night...never going back which was probably their intention..but to be fair the one pint we did buy was lovely in a clean glass at a fair price...and the restaurant attached looked brilliant although it was closed. We found another bar nearby which was the polar opposite and had a lovely evening & that pub made a few quid so...
   Read moreHad a table booked yesterday for inside. Got to the pub, the booking wasn't taken correctly from the day before. The bouncer asked our name it was booked under, he said it wasn't on the list, we had a look ourselves but the name wasn't there. After a good while of trying to get in to the pub we were eventually allowed in but were told we might not be in long. There was one poor member of staff on the bar ran off her feet trying to accommodate a full beer garden and a growing number of people inside. After 30 minutes our drink orders were finally taken. During our time in the pub we seen other people who booked tables getting turned away as their names weren't on the list until eventually anyone could just show up and get a table after multiple people who booked tables were turned away. After a couple of pints we decided to leave as the night was very poor. Atmosphere was poor, attitudes were poor. Very disappointing first part of...
   Read moreJoined the pub at around 10pm, asked for a pint of tennants, was told they had run out. Asked for a jack and coke instead. Was quite busy. Drink was handed to me. I wanted to go out for some fresh air with my drink…which was in a plastic cup. Was told I could not at around 22:30. Went to have a sip of my drink and it turned out to be a gin and coke…that should flag up as a weird order and prompt the bar tender to ask…then I seen two customers receiving pints of tennants which I had asked for. So…I can only assume that they could not be bothered to explain to me that the barrels needed to be changed. Poor management, as the new lad behind the bar raised that the tennants had run out. Also why are we not allowed outside after 22:30…even with plastic cups??? All that space unused. Another thing whe I said if I can’t go outside where can I put my drink? Was told to put it on the bar so that the bouncer will look after...
