The Lion and Lamb, Milton

It will never cease to amaze me why people who so clearly despise the human race go into the hospitality industry.
The lion & Lamb is locally infamous for having the rudest most hateful landlady in the county, if not the country.
My place of work have now vetoed this pub because any sane person does not work hard all week to spend their money somewhere in which you are made to feel you are a disgusting nuisance to the miserable landlady. I know from speaking with others that I am not alone in finding this place sub standard and a nasty experience.
If you visit the area there are plenty more pubs close to this, even one opposite, and so I would really suggest avoiding this one like the plague. What would you miss if you choose not to go here? Stodgy greasy food slapped down in front of you with a snarl & terrible wine � that�s all.
I have witnessed customers being spoken to & treated terribly on several occasions and have also had some of the same treatment myself. Last week a pregnant colleague of mine handed the landlady �8. In the transfer a one pound coin dropped behind the pump, before my colleague could even say anything the landlady snapped "Right well once that's gone that's gone, there's no getting that back, you have to pay another pound!". My colleague asked if she could pay the additional pound after she's eaten if it still could not be found to which the landlady said an aggressive no. With that, the pound rolled out from behind the pump. On the last (and I mean LAST) work visit there the landlady stood behind a colleague of mine and started muttering - when a "pardon?" came her way she denied saying anything and yet you can absolutely tell from her manner she despises you, all of you. A visit to this pub is just not one worth sending a penny of your money on.
The customer in the Lion & Lamb is a fly to be swatted and nothing more.
Avoid this place!!!!!!
