The Red Lion — Restaurant in Breckland District

Strangest experience from the rudest women barmaid. My first time coming into this pub (and last) to have a quick drink in the sun with my partner and son. But the bar maid refuses to serve me saying I’m barred, when I explained this must be wrong I have never been here to drink nor am I barred from anywhere she still refused, asked for my whole name and where I lived right in front of a SILENT (awkward) bar of people. When it clicked that I didn’t tick all her boxes she said she will go out back to look for the photograph of ‘me’🤣 when there was no photo she was hostile and said she will serve me but will be keeping a close eye on me… So she either served someone who she thought was barred or treated an innocent person with disrespect from her own lack of organisation (the latter) My parter saw this upset me so when he walked into the bar she was also rude to him ‘No need, I know what you two are drinking!’ strange entitled behaviour! When he stated she didn’t have to humiliate me in front of people she said how she apologised (lie) and how we didn’t have to stay! Okay so either we get treated as if we were guilty of something we didn’t do or we leave… Don’t know why we thought to try the red lion as a change from the greyhound! Learning tips, get your ‘barred’ pictures up then you may stand a chance in not being an unorganised and rude barmaid. When you have got something completely wrong actually say sorry then you could even treat someone...

If you want attitude, and the land land to moan at you this is the pub for you!||Visiting Swaffam with a group of friends, we thought we’d give the Red Lion a go for a few drinks as had spent the previous evening in the Greyhound.||The lady who served us was great, but then it all went south.||One of our group dropped a pint on the floor, to which I offered to clean it up as it was accidental. The land lady lost her cool, started mumbling words to my response, well just leave as we didn’t like attitude, and the professional that she was started mouthing back at us.||The pub was happy to take our £80/£90 we spent on a round of drinks….||We left, and went back to the Greyhound which is a 1 minute walk who had been called by the red lion to advise them not to let us in as we’d smashed the pub up! Comical comes to mind.||Explained what happened, we’re let in to the Greyhound and spent the rest of the evening there and Sunday! Needless to say you can imagine what we spent and what she lost because of her poor attitude and lack of customer service.||Accidents happens, but the way she spoke to us….. wow!||Even one of the locals in the red lion said don’t speak up she’ll only get the hump!||Surprised he still drinks there!||You’ll see from her comments she doesn’t like negative/constructive feedback so that...
