The Masons Arms, Bodmin

There seem to be chronic communication problems between staff here which resulted in the wreckage of our New Year celebrations. Arriving in Bodmin on Dec 31st and finding nowhere to eat, the friendly Masons barman invited my good lady and I to join in the buffet. So far, so good, so many quid behind the bar in drinks. Then as midnight approached, out marched the landlady to demand an explanation as to why we were eating the locals' food. One embarrassed donation to the 'charity box' later and we had to leave quietly. Some way to treat your customers!
