"Made a visit here late one Sunday afternoon, and was told the place was already shut. This was around 7.15pm. When I queried why they were closed so early, I was curtly told by the stocky looking bald-headed landlord ‘It’s what we do’, said in the manner of ‘If you don’t like it, you can f off elsewhere’ rather than someone genuinely interested in running a business. If ‘it’s what they do’, I wouldn’t have minded if I’d been spoken to properly. When I send them a message telling them, a lovely girl called Emma promptly replied apologising and offered me a drink on the house saying they’d ‘had a long day’, only to be overruled by a separate message from the power-hungry slaphead around 15 mins later saying I wasn’t welcome. A real pity as the place has potential, is surrounded by beauty, and had I been dealt with by ‘Emma’, I’m sure I would have loved to come back. Unfortunately if a place is run/managed by a rude egomaniac more interested in authority rather than customers, these places don’t deserve punters paying their wages and keeping them in work in a struggling industry. Fortunately, there is a wonderful pub called The Berkeley about a mile up the road, which was the complete opposite to my negative experience encountered here. Avoid the OCT and go there"
