Ghastly.
If you like rude, incompetent, dismissive service, it's your place.
I pity the international tourists its aimed at. Gutting that this would be paraded as an example of what a 'British Pub' is.
Truly awful.

One of the best pubs in Wells.. Staff are friendly and considerate.
The beer seems to be well kept, and the space represents a good refurb. Recommended.

The Fountain Inn and Boxers Restaurant, Wells
To say that this pub is geared towards food is a significant understatement. It would be my local, but for the attitude of the staff - if you're dropping in for a drink (i.e. no food), they couldn't make you feel less welcome.
We moved to Wells about 6 years ago from Lewes in Sussex, which has, IMHO, some of the best pubs in the UK. I've been into the Fountain twice. Once, I was made to feel extremely unwelcome as I ordered a drink, and had the temerity not to eat food here, and second time for the same reason - I'd presumed I'd picked a 'bad' night, but no. My wife has had the same experience when meeting girlfriends for drinks, so its not an expectation issue.
A real shame. I won't be back for a third try.

City Arms, Wells
As context - I dropped in here for a pint whilst waiting for a takeaway (I've lived in Wells for 6 or so years & its been on a downward trajectory for the last several years at least).
I was the only customer in the place (about 8ish PM on a Thursday evening) - the barmaid/manager was behind the bar as I walked up, looked at me (in the eye), then ignored me for 5 minutes whilst she fumbled around with glasses, still pointedly ignoring me (yet within 10ft).
I left & went to the Kings Head.
