@localperson2, aren't all reviews pretty presumptuous? They are all based on someones opinions and individual experiences, and if you have one rude member of staff you may very well lump all the staff together. the main issue I had was with tommymulletts review. it wasn't a review, it was someone using this as a way to bitch about people. I know the landlords daughter was extremely upset by it as we have a mutual friend, its what brought me to this site in the first place. Maybe I was a bit gung ho in my review but that's simply because I was annoyed by the pettiness of some of them. In fact you were being presumptuous yourself suggesting I may be friends with the landlord. I'm not, I've spoken to him in passing but that's it. I personally don't see the problem people have with him, and i think his wife is lovely. there is a small older woman who works there who can be rude and does favour the regulars, however I havent found that with the rest of the barstaff. I certainly apologise if Ive offended anyone with my reviews, it wasnt my intent, however I do wish some people would think before writing. These are normal people being talked about, who have feelings and at the end of the day are just trying to make a living like everyone else out there.

Ok, Very Un-Jolly Pink Giant. For a start I didnt say all of them. I was referring to those that choose to simply insult the owners and staff by calling them crude and nasty names or making uncalled for comments. Anyone bringing up personal hygiene in an attempt to insult someone is obviously bearing some sort of grudge and I wouldnt put loutish behaviour past them considering their so called reviews. At any rate it isnt a review of the pub it is merely trying to insult someone. Those are the reviews im referring to. How about you make your own review instead of trying to pick apart mine in an attempt to appear intelligent or righteous. I stand by everythkng I said. I concede I could have been clearer on the reviews I was referring to but I didnt want to draw anymore unnecessary attention to them. I notice you didnt choose to pick those reviews apart by the way.

I would highly suggest ignoring most of the previous reviews as they are obviously written by idiots bearing a grudge. No doubt due to being told off or barred due to loutish behaviour. The landlord is one of the only ones in the area who doesnt tolerwte dick heads, hence the bad rep. The staff always seem happy and polite to me, although they also do not tolerate rudeness and bad behaviour. It may be more expensive than others in the area but then again the majority are holts pubs. The safe feeling and the quality of ale and beer makes up for any price difference. Its also nice to see so many locals in attendance, it is always proof of a good pubwhen the locals choose to spend their time there. Seriously folks, dont be put off by a couple of vendettas and grudge bearing idiots, it truly is the best boozer in prestwich.
