"This was the first time I had been here for about 40 years. All those years ago it was quite rough and ready but full of character. Sometimes changes happen for the better. Not so here, as all the character has been wiped out. The welcome was very poor, and we felt we were an inconvenience to be served, once the female server appeared. No dimpled handles were available, so a straight handle was supplied. My pint of Butcome Original was a reasonable temperature, my wife's small Guinness was as expected. However, the price for both was much higher than anticipated. A local visitor was stood waiting at the bar to be served for a very long time. Our tub chairs were filthy and need a deep clean. On our departure, I returned our glasses to the bar, whereby an anorak wearing woman was serving the local gent, there was no acknowledgement to me, no goodbye, no thanks, no nothing. A dismal experience and I won't be rushing back possibly another 40 years ! . Why do people work in these environments if they are NOT happy doing so, get something else"
