The Oak Tree, Harpenden

Went to pub for sunday lunch today and arrived prompt at 12.

Was told by a older guy working the bar that I was too early.

So I reminded him it was 12 and his response was well we can open when we like and we have decided to open at 12:10 today

I was shocked by his weird attitude.

He then asked me to wait outside until then..even there was no one in the pub!

I said I would rather not and left.

This pub has a nice setting but has a reputation for bad service and odd bar staff. Clearly this guy had forgotten that pubs are for punters and not self serving odd balls.

Avoid like the plague!
