The Magpie and Parrot, Shinfield
I was kindly invited to a birthday party held at the Magpie and Parrot. At a first glance it looked to be an interesting establishment. I have never left a positive or negative comment on such a site but felt so strongly after my visit I just had too.
The landlord and landlady were possibly the most unwelcoming I have ever experienced. The level of customer service was nothing but frosty. Even ordering a drink seemed to be a little to much to ask. I have never visited before and can positively tell you I would never go back. I find it hard to beleive that people running a business in such a way ever gain any form of repeat business.
It is such a shame as there is so much potential but honestly if you are looking for a friendly pint I would advise you to go elsewhere.
I felt really sorry for the hosts of the party as everyone was discussing the terrible athmosphere and if we were not bigger people then it could have ruined the day.
After reading other peoples reviews on various websites it seems we were not the only ones to experience such issues so I really would think again.
