The Plough, Coldharbour

I went into this pub for the first time today. I had just been walking around the beautiful countryside and my friend and I decided to go for a beer. The pub looked lovely and welcoming. How wrong were we! There was no one in the bar - we waited for ages and realised that the landlady was just sitting there watching tv. Ok, maybe she had not heard us talking at the bar. So we politely asked her if she could serve us and wish we hadn't bothered. She was so unfriendly to us. I decided to have a beer and when I asked her if I could try the Landlord (I think thats the one) beer she told me in a most unpleasant manner that it was not possible as beer is far too expensive. Ok fine. So I asked her if she could recommend one for me as I'd not tried any of the beers on there before. She simply told me she didn't drink beer and to make up my mind. Excuse me if I'm wrong but part of the beer culture in country pubs is trying it. I had not seen the sign about the water and asked if I could have a glass and she pretty much shouted at me for having the nerve to ask for a glass of tap water. I will never go there again. Why the hell would you have a pub if you hate people so much? It seems that I'm not the only one whos taken the wrath of her. Its such a shame as the pub itself is lovely in such a beautiful setting.
