Stopped by for bike meet. Blackcurrant cordial looked watered down before it even got into glass. Asked for vegetarian option at bar for BBQ. Was told nothing available, so I asked if they had anything else vegetarian on a different menu. Again told no, and was told only snacks available (crisps, nuts).

What a real asset to the business she must be! In this day and age particularly in the hospitality industry can you afford to be so flippant towards your customers? The beer was also on the turn and full of sediment. It's a shame but judging by other reviews on here you seriously need to get your house in order or go under. Staff training perhaps in customer relations? Constructive criticism so heed, take on board and move forward. I await your response if necessary with...
