We had the misfortune of visiting this pub recently. It was a very cold Tuesday evening in February around 8pm. Understandably, the restaurant was very quiet. I would guess that there are about 15 tables in the dining room, two of which were occupied. My wife and I decided to sit at a table set for four which was located next to the fire. As we were getting comfortable a nervous waitress approached us with a very worried look on her face and asked: Would you mind moving to a table that is set for two? The owner does not like couples sitting at a table set for four!
I mentioned that as the restaurant was just about empty and that at this time it was unlikely that they would receive any more customers and that she check with the owner and perhaps make an exception. Off went the waitress with a very worried look on her face. About a minute later a very rude and angry lady asked us to move to another table set for two. I asked if we could stay where we were, close to the fire. Her response: No, I dont want to have to explain to everyone else why I have made an exception.
At this point I said that my wife and I would take our business elsewhere. I think the above explains the empty restaurant and the very nervous staff. The food might be good but the atmosphere and customer service was atrocious.
