"This pub should have all the elements to be great. However, it is badly managed and awful rude bar service. A group of approx 12 of us went for afternoon drinks on a nice sunny Saturday. We were sat outside it was lovely. As we arrived a half an hour late, myself and my wife got our drinks. My wife asked for a bit more ice than the 3 cubes she was given in her drink and was told by a rude member of staff that they were rationing the ice so they had enough. However, someone else serving was giving a whole glassful to another customer. On going back to the bar for a round of 12 drinks, when pouring the second drink (a beer) the barrel ended. Our server went to change the barrel. The same rude bar member that said about the ice came across and asked us if anyone needed serving, to which our reply was that we were being served but our server was changing the barrel, but he could help us with the other drinks as there was no one else waiting. He stated it was only one server per group and he was far too busy cleaning glasses to help us and they were very busy. So after the 10 minutes we waited for our server to come back (and the rude bar staff stood there cleaning glasses and making rude comments to us), and then 10 more minutes for her to serve us once our server got back, it took 25 minutes with no one at the bar and the rude bar member cleaning glasses commenting to us. On another round, one person in our group was ignored as they went to get served by the same bar staff member waiting 20 mins and seeing people who came in after him being served. He came away from the bar not buying drinks. Over 5 hours, at over £70 a round, we must have spent in excess of £700 between our group. However, we will be selecting another pub for our drinks in the future. I suggest that the management watch carefully the staff in the bar that is ruining this pub. For the weather, the tables outside were relatively quiet. Btw the lady that served the big round for us and changed the barrel was good busy and polite. Just let down by the others!"
