Wainwrights Inn, Great Langdale

This pub is in a beautiful location and very cosy inside. I have eaten here on many occasions however we had a terrible evening this saturday. The pub was packed due to the good weather and they were unable to cope with the increase of people. Food dishes were running out and being taken off the menu. It was a 15 min queue to order food. We were literally shouted out and thrown out of the pub at 11.20 when we hadn't finished our drinks. The staff were obviously very stressed out from the busy night. When we made a complaint about the food and the service we were told to not bother coming back! The staff and their attitudes really let the place down. I've never been spoken to like that before. Not the standard I expect from a pub that's featured in The Best Pub Guide 2009. Tourists are not made feel welcome - cheer up in there!
