The Mount Inn, Stanton

This is the 2nd time we have called at the revamped mount inn for a drink and hopefully a snack whilst walking in the cotswolds. The first time we visited in the summer it was packed, with lines of people waiting for drinks and to order food. As 3pm closed in the owner announced to the food line that from that point only fish and chips could be ordered. Overall not a good first impression, especially with the owner verging on the rude to customers.
So we gave it a second try during the Christmas break, arriving a little early at 11:50am.
The pub was supposed to open at 12, but the staff were morei interested in cleaning the windows. At 12:05 the pub was still not open and another couple left. At 12:10 the bar man who was cleaning windows indicated to go and use the other door as they were now open ( even though a group of us stood at the door indicated as 'BAR' ). As I got to the bar, with another couple of people, the owner continued to play with a display behind the counter, with no acknowledgement to her clients. Eventually I got served. We did not eat as they now do not do any tasty little pub type snacks rather gastro food, and overpriced bageuttes.
