The Iron Duke — Restaurant in England

After my husband and I were assaulted in the beer garden by a drunk customer who had arrived from their other pub and then US being told not to return I wouldn't recommend to anyone! They will allow anyone in here including people who are clearly off their heads on drugs with young children... its not about the customer here, just the money. In response when have we been in since? I told you in a message we wouldn't be using either of your pubs again and we haven't. In fact we havent been into burnham at all for the past 2 months! I still have the messages of your response when I told you it happened if you would like those public too? And a 3 month ban for an unprovoked assault on someone unknown to the attacker... Even the police were disgusted by the cctv amd the way you handled the situation. pathetic. And this isn't the only review mentioning druggies in your pub either is it... I've seen it for myself on a karaoke night as have many others! And what has me being an 'angel' or not have to do with anything? We were attacked in your pub for no reason and you immediately tried to blame me until you saw it for yourself and for what reason? Not the 1st time that family has started on me in 1 of your pubs either is it and you did nothing the last time either! And we weren't asked to leave at all, we left from the beer garden because my husband was being repeatedly punched in the head and I was thrown into a brick wall! All the while shouting and screaming out there but where were your staff to stop it......

I strongly urge everyone to avoid The Iron Duke in Burnham-on-Sea. Last night, I visited the pub and was immediately pulled outside by a staff member and told I could not use certain facilities due to a so-called “new law”—a law that, to be clear, has not been officially enacted.

When I raised my concerns with management, I was met with an appalling response. Rather than addressing the clear discrimination, I was asked how others feel about me—as a gender fluid individual—using the facilities. This blatant disregard for inclusivity, equality, and basic human dignity is unacceptable.

The actions of the staff and management are not only discriminatory but appear to violate several legal protections, including those outlined in the Equality Act and the European Convention on Human Rights. Being dragged outside before even needing to use the facilities was not only degrading, but inhumane.

This kind of treatment is exactly why safe, inclusive spaces matter. I won’t stay silent about it—and I hope others...

We live locally and pop in here occasionally with family and friends. The prices of both alcoholic and soft drinks are very reasonable. The staff are friendly and this reflects in the nice atmosphere there. If we've visited on a Saturday evening, there's always been decent live music. The only negative aspect is that the women's toilets always seem to have at least one cubicle not working and the tap on the right-hand side sink as you face the mirror never seems to work. If you sit by the front door/windows, there's a lovely view of the beach and...
