The Crosse Keys, Bank

We had a very similar experience to a previous reviewer, we had the temerity to turn up at 10:30 on Friday Night just before Christmas, and were 'served' by a miserable little eastern european apparachnik obviously still missing her previous role in the stasi, I ordered a 1/2 pint of pear cider after pulling that she announced that she wasnt going to serve 'some of your party' and 'you should go home', (to put this into context we were a group of 6, 50 year old nerds meeting up in town for a meal and a few beers), one of the guys then said 'OK, 6 coffees then' to no response other than 'you should go home' she then attempted to snatch my half of cider back, so I drank it and we left. In 30 odd years of going to a pub Ive never been treated like this, god knows what Tim Wetherspoon would say if he found his barstaff were trying to impose their catholic values on the rest of us. Bring back the friendly Aussie and Kiwi bar staff please. (even if they cost a bit more!)
