"Considering your post what a shame that your manager chose to shame my girlfriend and I on a recent visit for a meal because we are exempt from wearing masks. On two occasions we told staff we were exempt and had it shouted across the establishment that we need to have a mask on as we waited to be seated. Also then for a member of staff to ask us to wait whilst they ask their manager if we are able to be allowed in. Upon being seated the manager, who I have to add has been great on previous recent visits and always welcoming and friendly, then came over and again asked why we didn 't have masks on and that we needed letters as PROOF and that anyone can claim to be exempt . This was done with zero discretion and in front of other customers. There is no legal obligation to provide proof and that is on the official government website, my girlfriend checked this after the manager walked away. We both felt totally embarrassed to have been asked further in front of other customers and to have to be told we have to provide proof of our exemption. The dealing of the whole situation was disgusting and to be spoken to in such a manner for having an exemption. My girlfriend felt we should have said something after the meal but we chose not to. I fully understand this year is a testing time for everyone and especially the hospitality trade at the moment with curfews also but of all days please show some understanding and awareness that people have good reason to be exempt from wearing a mask and beyond a visible reason. I just hope you are more welcome to future customers regarding the wearing of masks and don 't choose to belittle and shame them in front of other customers. There are several reasons for being exempt of wearing a mask, one being them causing distress and anxiety, with relevance to today and your post, so I hope you can please show more understanding in future."

"Would advise that times of last food orders are made clearer as we had an unavoidable situation that meant we were 10 minutes late for our 7pm booking. When I telephoned 30 minutes prior to our booking to advise that we were going to be late I was told that the last food orders were at 7pm! We could pre order our food but I had already explained that 1 of our party was held up in traffic on the M1 so we couldn’t do that. Then I was told that the chefs had been working all day. To be frank that is not my problem as a customer why should I be made aware of that. I was annoyed it soured our evening which was a celebration of our children’s birthdays. The booking system should be explicit as to when last food orders are or not allow you to book a table at that exact time, but earlier. Then my husband’s rump steak was inedible. He sent it back was given a sirloin as a replacement which was fine. However when the waitress came back to ask if my husband would like another steak she said that the chef “agreed” that the steak was of a poor standard. What a strange thing to say! Surely you would say that the chef apologises would like to know if he/she could prepare something else for him. A disappointing evening. My husband I visited the pub in early August 2020 for our wedding anniversary the overall standard was much better at that time."
