Yates's, Reading

We went into to watch the golf, but there was noone at the bar.

The 2 barstaff were sitting in a booth chatting and eventually a lanky young guy in a plaid shirt wandered over and begrudging served us and went back to the booth.

The blonde barmaid he was with served a guy who was standing at the bar and then she went back to the booth. The bar was empty, so they probably thought they could get away with it, but this is terribly inhospitable and we won't be returning. And the food is terrible.

The Horn, Reading

Usually a good pub. The barstaff at the moment are feckless though.

Emily the barmaid on today is extremely slow and disinterested. She was showing a new barmaid the ropes today and very quickly she was also in the kitchen hiding out pretending to wash glasses and reading her phone.

Meanwhile staff are waiting to be served. The regulars had to call them a few times to serve people.

Staff like Emily and whoever she trains will cause serious damage to this pub's profits and good reputation.
