"My boyfriend and I stopped into this pub on our way back from a country walk. We bought some drinks and were having a nice relaxing chat at a table by the bar, when the landlord stormed out of the kitchen and started shouting at...us about the “mess” we had made at our table. He stormed off and then returned a few minutes later, shouting again and gesturing at our boots which he claimed were dirty, even though we had taken great pains to wipe them clean before we entered the pub, shouting “would you treat your lounge like this?!” and shouting at us repeatedly and very loudly in front of a full pub. He completely lost it at us, and we felt really humiliated and taken aback. It was especially shocking because it came completely out of nowhere. The landlord made us feel totally unwelcome, and we would never consider coming back to the pub even though we live locally. A shame because the bar staff were friendly and accommodating, but their manager seems to have an anger problem. I’ve never written a trip advisor review before but this experience shocked me so much that I feel I need to warn people about this."
