The Lamb Inn, Nomansland

Atrocious service, the people running this Pub do not want any customers from outside their village. My wife and I went here during a walk from a local campsite and we were greeted with stares and moody looks. We ordered some drinks and I offered my debit card to pay. They had a card terminal which was fully working and in view of customers but they refused to let me pay with debit card unless we ordered food. The landlord then claimed that a minimum amount of �5 had to be spent on food. The food had to be ordered from the lunch menu so crisps and nuts don't count. Even if you order �100 worth of drinks you'd still have to buy a cooked meal to use a card! he was very insulting and made no effort to welcome us or apologize for the rules - which are NOT displayed anywhere in the pub so you only find out about them after he has pulled the pints. Incidentally we did order food and it was poor. Overall this experience was one we'd never repeat and I would advise anyone to avoid this pub and try an alternative at all costs.
