The pub still looks identical to its former self. Unfortunately it’s become much worse service wise.

Firstly - the waitress missed a meal off of our order. Then denied it despite 3 of us hearing me order it. Secondly it came but instead of veggie sausage it was meat. Again - denied despite everyone hearing it. We were REALLY polite and understanding and simply waited 3 times the length for the meals with no complaint.

The worst thing of all - We had a very upsetting experience where another customer kindly handed our child a helium balloon. The balloon slipped out of our 2 year olds hand and floated to the roof. She became really upset as any normal 2 year old would. Within 1 minute of her crying we were approached by a waitress telling us off and asking us to ‘get her under control’. We explained we were trying. As any parents knows when these events happen in public it is mortifying. We were doing our best to calm her but I don’t exaggerate when I say within 1 MINUTE of the first member of staff approaching us, the female owner came up aggressively asking us to make her stop. We explained we were trying and she kept repeating to us aggressively what the little one was doing. We had only been told this by someone else less than a minute ago!!! She was awful. She seemed drunk so maybe that was it. But wow after that we were made to feel SO unwelcome we had to leave our food and drinks.

Really sad as our girls go to the local school and we know everyone in neighbourhood. We will have to warn them now to keep their kids away which is sad. A very sad event when a pub falls into the wrong hands.
