The Green Man Prestwood — Restaurant in England

What a shame! 12 of us met yesterday at the pub for lunch and a catch up. All friends from school meeting together for the first time in years. Also celebrating a 60th and an 80th birthday.

Clearly, a group excited to see each other. We were the only people in the pub except for one other person when (after having a lunch - and the latest round of drinks) we were asked by the young man behind the bar to quieten down as we were laughing too much and too loudly!!!!!

This is the same surly young man who said nothing when serving us; no please’s or thank yous. He also spent most of his time behind the bar on his phone. In short, his customer service skills were dreadful - so to be ‘told off’ by him was nothing short of annoying and deeply disrespectful. At this point, we had all eaten in the pub - and spent a fair bit of money. We are not a rude or foul mouthed circle of friends, just a bunch of ordinary people enjoying seeing friends.

Went in a few nights ago for a drink and ended up staying for the atmosphere and music. The food was great compared to a lot of the other pubs in the area (I'd highly recommend the katsu curry). The young blonde gentleman behind the bar was very polite for my whole stay, willing to have a conversation with me while it was quiet. Its so nice to see life breathed back into an establishment through a refurbishment and I feel the team here have created a lovely experience for all visitors. Will absolutely...
