The Squire and Horse Inn, Bury

I stopped by this pub last Friday evening at around 9pm for a pint.

The bar was empty apart from a young lad sat at the bar. The restaurant was half full but it was apparent that the food service was winding down for the evening.



Shortly before finishing my pint, a man claiming to be the landlord came into the bar from the kitchen and proceeded to pour a tirade of abuse upon the young lass who had served me. I was stunned as he went on at her with every second word being the F word....



At this point I intervened and questioned the landlord as to why he felt it was ok to address his staff in such a manner and swear in front of a customer. Upon which he turned upon me and told me I could F... off. That as a landlord he was throwing me out. He then proceeded to threaten me and used physical intimidation to press his point. I held my temper, finished my drink and thanked the staff for their service, suggesting they might be wise to find a new employer, then departed.



I'm stunned that people think they can get away with this sort of behaviour.

Be warned!



Next stop, local press, Arun council licence department and the police.
