The Ship Inn, Wadebridge

I have been a customer of The Ship for many years, mainly during the Wadebridge folk festival but also on other irregular occasions, and have always considered that this is one of the best pubs in Cornwall.
My experience this weekend has left me quite determind not to set foot in the place whilst the current landlord and staff are in residence. (And I'm not alone in that.)
Some words to sum up the experience of myself and some other customers this weekend are: "Ignorant. Rude. Abusive. Inpolite. Unwelcoming." These are the comments that I can pepeat on this site.
A barmaid (partner of the landlord) was heard to say "This bunch of to**ers think they own the f***ing pub..."
It seems bizarre that anyone in the hospitality trade would not wish to have between 50 and 200 folkies swilling beer and occasionally eating in the pub for four days. They say there�s nowt as daft as folk!
