The Crown Inn, Puncknowle

RUDE LANDLORDS.

Well my mother and various friends that live in the Bride Valley have warned me that this pub is best avoided due to the rude, obnoxious landlords / two old men that appear to run this establishment. Unfortunately we received a demostration of this...arrived Sunday evening on a bank holiday at 2045 and immediately asked one of the staff if food was still being served as it was getting late, as the answer was yes we went to the bar ordered some drinks and asked for the menu. The snapped reply was "kitchen closed", after mentioning we had checked this with a colleague he then shouted at the other old barman and asked if they were still doing food, obviously the same answer was passed to us so I said we probably didn't want the drinks..."fine, you can b.u.gger off then" as he shut off all the taps.

I find it amazing that a pub can be so rude, especially during a bank holiday weekend when you would think they would be keen to book as much revenue as possible.

However I guess when you are lucky enough to have a campsite round the corner you can treat people as you wish as you are not considering local, return custom.

Shame as it is a reasonable building they have.

The Palmer brothers really need to change these guys out.
