The Bottle and Glass, Binfield Heath

Passed this lovely little Pub on a 10 mile walk this last weekend. We purchased 4 pints of beer and sat in the less than full beer garden. Whilst drinking our beer we decided to consume the small wrap of salad that we had brought on the walk. It wasn't a feast as we were having dinner later. We were rudely accosted by a lady, who I assume was the landlady, and told not to eat our wrap and just finish our beer.

Obviously the owners are within their rights to set their own policy and we gave her no argument and complied with her request, but were then again rudely addressed as we left. Frankly disgraceful treatment of people who had contributed to their days takings.

We would not have eaten our food inside where people were consuming meals bought from the Pub, and we were not blocking a table outside where others might have consumed meals they had purchased. The policy, applied with rudeness, would not have made us buy food, and I am sure we were not encouraging others not to buy food.

It was a shame really as the beer was very good and the food we saw served also looked nice. We just mistook the place for a Pub. Won't make the mistake again.
