The Blackbirds, Flitwick

We went in last night for something to eat and a drink early evening about 6.15. Well to say this pub has gone downhill is an understatement! I know it's not recognised as a restaurant as such but come on! The whole place is so cold and unwellcoming, the menu unimaginative and the beer served as it comes with no care. Isn't it about time someone taught the barstaff how to pull a decent pint of real ale. I suppose because all the younger generation now drink lager out of bottles the skill in drawing a good pint isn't needed.

Last night the place was so cold we complained that there was no heating on, plus the fact there is an open fireplace where there is often an open log fire. But not last night. It was like a barn ... and did anything get done? No! Seems like the new manageress doesn't really care, like all the ones before her just as long as they get paid. Well we won't be going in there again for a long time together with several people who were eating in there also.
