The Lion and Lamb, Milton

We visited this pub as a large family party for a set Xmas Lunch.

Despite visiting the pub before booking to agree the layout and seating to make sure all members of the party were accomodated the room was set up with a table for four seperate from the rest of the party. When I asked if this could be rectified I was treated very rudely by the owner and told there was nothing she could do and if we didn't want the table don't have it.

As there were 16 of us there was not any option than to stay and eat.

At the end of the meal which was OK not great but edible we paid the bill and ordered coffee at which point we were told that the area had been booked for another party and we needed to move to the other bar. Again this had not been explained at the time of booking ans as people had travelled a long distance to get together we were expecting to spend at least 3 hours together.

As the party gathered together to move which meant gathering up children, bags of presents, crackers and a very young baby the owner came over and again was very rude in telling some members of our party to move.

Having spent nearly �300 that afternoon we all felt that the service was apalling and the possibility of repeat business nil.

I would not recommend this pub to anyone and certainly not anyone wishing to book a large party.
