Dog & Duck Inn in East Riding of Yorkshire

5 guys stayed there and had a great time . Squeezed us in with no bother for late lunch when we arrived , great value and quality of food and ale. Breakfast perfect and had Sunday lunch before we left but booked a table as we knew how busy it gets from the day before. Very friendly and helpful staff, quiet rooms and central location

Best food ever perfect staff fantastic food definitely recommend to everyone so friendly. Service is excellent anyone visiting beverley call in you will love it

Proper traditional pub, how pubs should be with home cooked food, friendly staff and excellent prices, will definitely be visiting again

Lovely Pub came today was busy could see why staff friendly, food fantastic good old Home cooked food , would definitely go back and recommend to family and friends

Me and four friends stayed here for 3 nights this week as a base for a motorcycle trip after being recommended by friends.The price of a room was so reasonable we took a room each. The rooms were spotless and lovely, used towels and tea and coffee replaced each day and the beds remade, my bed was so comfy. Breakfast each morning was just right, even accommodating my plant based needs. The Staff were brilliant and friendly. The pub is in the heart of Beverley so finding places to eat in the evening was easy. ( can recommended Mowgli's ). All in all a great stay and highly recommended. Thankyou to all the staff

The Dog & Duck is a traditional and friendly local pub consisting of a bar and lounge area to the front and a snug towards the back. There are real fires to each end of the divided front space and the bar has six decent cask ales on, served well and at a good price. The décor is bright and bold revealing its 1930's heritage, with a loud red proper pub carpet, maroon brentwood seating and plenty of polished brass. There are no dark corners to hide away in here but that just all adds to the wonderful community feeling of being welcomed into a family home. There's sport on the large TV in the bar but also plenty of space to sit and relax out of the way. Apparently the food they serve in the lounge is very popular. There's also some separate accommodation buildings at the rear which could be a good place to stay over if you're visiting. This pub really was a little treat and not what we were expecting, it turned out to be a great characterful and welcoming place, certainly worth popping by for a couple of pints.

went to Beverley having working there and wanted to know what the night life was like. Great pubs and good eating places and the accommodation was just wat we wanted will be coming back for more beers and good food.

Lovely food - always piping hot - good portion size & reasonably priced. Staff are very friendly & efficient. We have visited a few times recently & have never been disappointed. Thank you for such lovely food & friendly service.

Decided to stops here for drinks on a family getaway in Beverley, the pub itself is nice, very old fashioned but homely, the problem we had was the rudeness of the landlord, we had about 4 rounds in total and each time we went to the bar he was very rude. On the last encounter at the bar my adult daughter and son-in-law were ignored 3 times as he served regulars coming up to the bar one after another, my son-in-law asked if he could be served as he'd been waiting a while and the guy flipped his lid, pointing his finger and raising his voice at my son-in-law. His behaviour was disgraceful. Its a real shame because it spoiled our afternoon. We most certainly will not be going back again.

Brilliant experience. Lovely traditional proper pub. Staff very friendly. The beers were top notch very good choice.

I have been going there for Ten years and it hasn't change...much. It has a wonderful atmosphere, friendly, lively and the food is great, especially the Hot Roast beef sandwich with all the trimmings and the chips are great. Let's not forget the beer! always fresh! What a great Pub! I wish I lived in Beverley!

Don’t order the pensioners meals, it is served on a plate the size of a saucer! Buy a normal size meal and leave what you can’t eat for the price difference. Better to be full than leaving hungry. Not value for money the pensioners portion.

What a lovely pub. Very clean good helpful staff, and the food was delicious. I had fish and chips and my husband had gammon.

Been is several times and cannot fault the place. Friendly tradional pub, even the background music is to me liking, mostly 60's and 70's. If you want to eat I suggest you book in advance because this smallish pub is very popular and when your food arrives you can see why. Excellent value, £8.50 to £5.95 on portion choice and its just good old fashion tasty home cooked pub grub. Nothing fancy and it arrives piping hot and I haven't had a bad dish yet. This is a very well run pub popular with locals and tourists alike, the landlord, landlady, and staff are friendly and helpful no matter how busy they are. Good choice of ales too which change during the week. The B@B side seems to be popular too. This is how pubs should be and long may they continue.

Lovely town centre pup, close to the Market Place, excellent bed and breakfast, will definitely stay again when in the area

Called in for drinks, as I only drink ales was pleasantly surprised that there was a decent choice. What I had was well kept. We didn't eat but the menu was traditional pub fayre and very reasonable priced. This is a traditional boozer and is spotless inside

Had a superb meat pie with chips, cabbage, carrots n peas with gravy of course. Suoerb home made pie, best i have ever had £5.50 (small portion) my son had giant yorky pudd filled with chicke breasts n veg £8....... Highly recommend thus pub, nice setting, nice staff 12 out of 10

You won’t get better value anywhere in Town. Small menu but good honest food at excellent prices. Home made steak pie, home made chips, three veg and gravy for £7.95. Choices include scampi, gammon, sausage, fish etc. Traditional surroundings won’t suit everyone but you’ll not get better value for money and drinks prices are excellent too. Bottle of house wine for £10.50.

First time here . Very reasonable prices . Lasagna was gorgeous. You can also get small plates. Decent prices for drinks. And lovely friendly staff. Will be back.

A proper pub serving good beer and lovely hot food. Been here twice and have enjoyed both times. Will be going again. Better off booking a table if you want food because it gets busy.

We came across this by chance, popping in for a quick lunch before going to the races. This is a proper community pub. The landlord and landlady were very friendly, welcoming and hospitable. The beer was clear as a bell and at the top of it’s game. The lunches were well cooked, substantial and very tasty (one of our group ordered Jacket potato with chicken curry. It arrived in the form of Chicken curry with jacket potato there was that much of it!). There were plenty of local pensioners in as well enjoying pensioner’s special lunches which appeared no different to ours only a bit cheaper for them, which I thought was lovely. Unfortunately pubs like this seem to be getting fewer and fewer, if you’re ever in the area I would recommend that you give this one a go I don’t think you’ll be disappointed, and if you live in the area and you haven’t tried it, you really ought to. If I lived I. Beverley, it would probably be my local.

Although not local have been in here many times.Enjoyed the excellent Sleck Dust from Great Newsome,my Wife had Peacock from the same Brewery which she also enjoyed.Also John Smiths,Black Sheep and Taylor Landlord on Hand Pump.Good value Food served and it also offers B and B.Friendly Staff.

Six of us on a day's pub crawl around Beverley Very enjoyable day. The Dog&Duck provided a friendly welcome, a range of excellent real ales, and a welcomed break from the rain. Nice interior, still a traditional looking boozer, we thoroughly enjoyed our time and our beers there. Great town centre pub.

Popped in for a bite to eat and a pint. Found the pub to be exceptionally well run. This family run business have gone out of their way to keep a clean but cosy environment. Everyone worked really hard and service was fantastic...fast and very friendly. I give it a ten out of ten

This is a wonderfully friendly good old fashioned boozer. Staff were so polite and happy. Beers were well looked after. Food was amazing and so well priced. We visited from Lincoln with our dog Dexter who was made most welcome. We will return when next in Beverley.

The Dog and Duck is a good old fashioned pub ! It doesnt set out to be anything it is not ! Jacket potatoes with coleslaw and salad hit the spot on a cold winters day whilsy out shopping in Beverley. Warm welcome and efficient and friendly service.

Great night at Dog and Duck, really good atmosphere, plus we stayed the night, rooms clean, tidy and excellent value for money, many thanks to all the staff, brilliant.

We were recently in Beverley having parked in Flemingate and then wandered into the centre. At lunchtime we fancied a hot meal that was served reasonably quickly and was unpretentious and we couldnt have pickex a better venue. This is an old fashioned pub just off Saturday market with cosy little rooms and an open fire. The welcome from overworked staff was exemplary and the food was simple yet tasty and piping hot. The cost represented excellent value. Well done we will certainly return.

We stayed here for a few nights whilst playing golf in the area. The pub has parking but make sure you arrive via Dog & Duck Lane and not Ladygate for access. The accommodation is in a seperate building at the rear of the pub, so it's quiet and we enjoyed unbroken sleep. The bedrooms are on two floors, so if you have restricted mobility do check which floor your room is on (stairs are quite steep). Beds are comfortable. Plenty of hot water. Wifi works ok. Breakfast was plentiful and kept us going through the days' golfing. Staff were great. Beer was exceptional (CAMRA accredited). Locals in bar were really chatty. Cost of B&B was good value for money.

Found this little pub looking through reviews on the internet, lots of satisfied customers raving about their pies! We weren’t disappointed!! Not only is the food absolutely delicious (beef slow cooked overnight) but the hospitality is second to none. We were welcomed like ‘old regulars’ and the staff couldn’t do enough for us! They were rushed off their feet yet still so cheerful! Can’t recommend this place highly enough, will definitely be returning.

We stumbled across this old fashioned pub in a back street close to the Market in Beverley, after a series of false starts close by with places which we hoped were basic pubs but were in reality gastropubs. All we wanted was a sandwich or a jacket potato and the Dog & Duck ticked all our boxes. Good food, a reasonable selection of draught ales and craft lagers and wonderfully friendly and helpful staff. Really enjoyed our snack here.

Needed a pit-stop on way up north. Parked up in Tesco's who offer three hours free parking. Walked across the road and first pub was the Dog & Duck Inn - what a find! Superb roast beef sandwich with mushroom and onions - the beef cut from the daily roast also on offer. Great food, quality ale and coupled with a welcoming host - all dicks in a row and many thanks.

Called in twice for drinks during our short Beverley stay. Smashing pub with comfortable rooms and friendly staff and locals. Probably the best pub in Beverley. Highly recommended.

The rooms are basic but adequate, soap provided but no other toiletries. Small tv, but it worked fine. Usual selection of tea/coffee in the room.Cooked breakfast was great, but no fruit/yoghurt to follow/go before.Excellent value overall.No safe undercover cycle storage.Sadly the bar didn't open until 7 pm and no food was being served in the evening when we were there, but it did give us an excellent opportunity to explore Beverley.

Used the pub to say farewell to a work colleague. Asked and agreed a buffet. It was a great send off the staff were fantastic and the buffet provided was excellent with lots of choice and quantity. The pub did us proud and a great time had by all.

Really good quality food, some menu items not on some days but it's a good local pub so that's to be expected. The pie is full of meat and the chips are homemade, great quality for the money.

We stayed here for a couple of nights.

The pub is fantastic great landlord Mark . Our accommodation was clean and adicuate . Unfortunately the break fast wasn't great sorry

My wife and I decided to visit here for evening dinner with my son. I have to say the food and the service was great, the portions are very generous indeed, so make sure you're very hungry when you go.

Stayed here for one night, rooms were in converted buildings in the court yard, very clean and comfortable. We have had lunch here many times always excellent so looked forward to breakfast, wasn't disappointed. Will be staying again.

Lunchtime for their OAP specials, decent portions well cooked and gravy to die for. Drinks are reasonably priced too. Wish I was a local so could visit more than once or twice a year.

We have just spent 3 nights bed and breakfast at the Dog and Duck Inn and what an experience. Mark the landlord, his father and staff could not have made our stay more pleasant. They are all extremely friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

Great home cooked food, traditional feel local pub, immaculate clean and very welcoming staff. A good selection of beers, I love the Blonde Beer that they have and the prices are very reasonable. Top notch!

Brought a group of friends here on an afternoon out. I used to go there when I lived in Beverley and it's still just as good. Always a good pint and the food looks good. Worth a visit.

We were on a day trip to Beverley, with two friends, and needed somewhere for lunch.

My husband popped in here today on our visit to Beverley after reading the reviews on TripAdvisor. We both ordered the hot roast beef sandwich with mushrooms and onions and were not disappointed. The beef melted in your mouth and the gravy was rich and very tasty. The staff here were very very friendly especially the young girl who brought our food to our table. Would recommend to anyone visiting Beverley. Excellent value for money :)

We decided to have our lunch in Beverley today. We went into the first pub and nothing we fancied so we popped in here by chance. We had a lovely meal which just hit the spot. Homemade chicken and ham pie, tasty veg and homemade chips. Very nice. Unfortunately, when the plates were cleared, sponge puddings were mentioned so we had one. Delicious. For our waistlines we should have run out before we heard the word pudding. Very friendly staff too. We are going back

The food was all home cooked, excellent portions, beautifully cooked and finally what fantastic value for money. You cannot fail to be impressed. They advertise home cooked good pub food and that is exactly what you get.

We visited Beverley for a day whilst staying nearby, after a walk around the town we wanted lunch but knowing we were cooking a big dinner on the night only wanted something light. We spotted the Dog and Duck up a side street and went to look for a menu outside but there wasn't one, unsure whether to venture inside or not we were about to leave when a man came out and told us if we were looking for decent pub food then to go in as the food is all homemade.

Had a lovely meal here with friends having met them several times before at this pub.

The roast lamb dinner was delicious. I couldn't have done it better myself. Lots of thick cut lamb, perfectly-cooked vegetables and proper lamb gravy. Inexpensive too. Quaint, cosy surroundings and friendly staff. What more could you want?

We've called in a few times when we've been in Beverley shopping, and it's a very pleasant pub, although we've yet to eat here, what we've seen, people ordering and getting food, we only hear praise for it.

Traditional great place to eat for a Sunday lunch for all ages. We will be going again in the near future. Plus being near the centre of Beverley you can then nip out for a little retail therapy. Excellent.

The best pub food I've tasted in a long time. All cooked to order. A proper old English pub with one of the friendliest landlords I have met. My wife and I visited this pub many times on a bed and breakfast basis twenty years...

Called in last Saturday for lunch. Have passed this pub lots of times making our way to the main Street...

Called in on Saturday lunch good atmosphere plenty of locals a good sign. We had Yorkshire pud filled with beef...

Booked for a nights stay in town. Cheery helpful welcome, after a quick beer sorted breakfast order and shown to...

Had time to kill so popped in for lunch, we were well looked after and had a great meal. Being...

Well recommended to us, finally visited last week, good food,good selection of drinks and lovely friendly staff. Will be back.

Visiting Beverley for the first time and was delighted to find this super pub. A great selection of real ales and would liked to have sampled more than the two that I had time for before returning to my hotel. I wish that I had known that the Dog and Duck had rooms as it was such a friendly place and by all accounts the breakfast is very good. The owner is enthusiastic,knows his beers and very welcoming. If I go back to the area I shall certainly make a return visit.

Called in three times on my short break. Beer tip top every time and my one meal was good proper no nonsense pub grub. Well cooked, good portion , great value. All basics which should be simple with hard work and clearly a lot of that going off here. Well worth a visit and a big well done from me.

Genial para algunas pintas y como un lugar para ponerse al día con los amigos. Una buena selección de bebidas y un servicio amable.

Nos alojamos por dos noches en una habitación doble, (1), mientras que las visitas de la familia. La habitación estaba limpia y equipada con una cómoda cama doble, tetera, baño con ducha y una pequeña televisión. El un montón de espacio de almacenamiento para la ropa. Muy bien decorado, y es lo suficientemente espaciosa para nosotros. Las habitaciones están en un anexo en la parte trasera del pub, así que no hay ruido de los clientes de pub. El desayuno se sirve en el pub y era muy bueno. Pides el día antes, así que está listo cuando venga. El pub es un pub de estilo victoriano antiguo, sólo sirve comida en el almuerzo. Había 6 cervezas de sacar la mano y una selección de otros cervezas, cervezas y sidras. Yo estaba impresionado por la selección de whiskys de malta sobre 40! El personal es educado y servicial, y Mark, el director, no puedo hacer más por ti. Sin duda nos alojaremos allí de nuevo. La ubicación es ideal para acceder al centro de la ciudad, y el aparcamiento en el hotel es una gran ventaja, aunque el espacio es un poco limitado. Si tienes la opción de ir en coches, uno más pequeño. Una palabra de advertencia. . Si usted está utilizando el GPS para llegar allí, no use la dirección ladygate como el aparcamiento está en la parte trasera, en el perro y el pato Lane, poner eso en como la dirección. Así ahorrarás tener que ir todo el sistema de dirección de nuevo!

Been quite a few times recently whilst visiting friends in Beverley, good beers,friendly staff and just a good place to go for a drink where everyone chats to you, very friendly locals who welcome you always. I haven't eaten in the pub but everyone tells me it's lovely food. Bed and breakfast is available and parking too. PROPER PUB, like they used to be.

Lovely small pub tucked away in the centre of Beverley. Lots of nightly activities. Very good choice of real ales as they are active members of CAMRA. Mark and his wife also have rooms for overnight stays.

We often go here when we go out for a meal and it never changes. It is a very traditional pub and, even has a log fire! The service is always spot on and the prices are very good. You have a good selection of drinks and they often have cocktails on specials.

The D&D is a really, down-to-earth pub and B&B. The term 'down-to-earth' doesn't mean basic! It DOES mean honest, clean, wholesome accommodation for the B&B-er. The bar and pub area is simply wonderful: excellent cask-conditioned beers, exemplary servicel (Really and truly, excellent staff). The biggest downside in the 21st century is the flakey (no, seriously poor) wi-fi connection throughout the premises. Otherwise an excellent place to stay in the centre of a vibrant, happening town!

Lunch with the family, very friendly host who was very attentive, food tasty and plenty of it - very good value. Good selection of ales. Proper English Pub!!

Our stay this Easter was a pure delight.The Inn is so close to all amenities ,a great location.Friendly staff and great customers.We only had the breakfasts and they were very good ,filled me up for the day really.Price for room was very reasonable too considering the central location.

went on Friday 7th April I had the fish and chips special for only £5.50 I received a large fish mushy peas could have had garden peas if wanted good portion of chips all sauces are available free, My partner went for the meat pie with all the trimmings the pie was full of meat and she would definitely recommend the pie. service great and a great atmosphere ,I will definitely be going back.

Genial host who went out of his way to welcome us for our overnight stay. Didn't dine in but had breakfast the following morning, well cooked and piping hot. Friendly family run pub with clean accommodation facilities. Good position for town centre. Would be happy to use this hostelry again next time in Beverley.

The pub was recommended by a friend - not disappointed either - excellent tasty food - piping hot - went with a friend one lunch time whilst shopping in Beverley - highly recommended - so good went back and few days later with my partner. Service and staff are excellent.

Nice traditional pub in the centre of Beverley just off the Saturday market square. The ambience is cosy and friendly and the bar staff helpful. Just the job for an evening's drink.

The food is exceptionally good and very reasonably priced with nice surroundings - typical old fashioned pub with lovely staff. Service starts at 11.30am however, despite placing our order at 11.30am we had to wait just on 40 minutes for our food, which was well worth it. Lovely roaring fire

Had heard good reports about the place "same family running it for 40 years"....."people queue to get in Sunday lunch" so we thought we would try it. First impression was that it was a lovely old fashioned pub, beer & lagers at less than £3 a pint, a glass of Prosecco just £2.75. The edge is taken off by the TV screens and games machines.The majority of the clientele were definitely in their twilight years, with a number known by name, possibly attracted by the price: £6.25 for a main course or two courses for £7.50. The chicken was available on or off the bone and the beef was good. The veg (peas, French beans, carrots, mashed and roasted potatoes) were piled high on a salad plate topped with a Yorkshire pudding. This is not a 'gastropub' and it should be accepted for what it is. We wouldn't want to go back but all the people we spoke to in the pub were regular diners.

Lovely atmosphere,friendly staff, log fire, brill food at great prices, best to book in advance on Sunday.Lot of knowing locals in !!,roast lamb smashing.Best lunch for miles.NO kids dashing around which was super ,small pub and eating areas,

On my last visit to Beverley I was persuaded to go to Wetherspoons for lunch, which was good, but the Dog and Duck is better quality for a similar price. The service is also much more personal.The six real ales are usually well kept.It's a proper pub, apparently kept by the same family for 40 years.The food menu isn't huge, but it's freshly prepared and good portions.

Recommended by a family member, not disappointed, clean room, friendly staff and lovely food and good selection of drinks.

We stayed overnight with breakfast included. Good, hearty English breakfast, though lighter options were available.

Very good value for money. I had gammon with the trimmings. Food portions very generous. Served the thickest gammon steak ever eaten. Could only manage half of it. Boyfriend had the homemade lasagne. Food really tasty. Pub serving pensioners specials sso quite busy. Friendly staff.

I have visited this pub for lunch on quite a few occasions and always fond the food to be very good along with the beer. They also do pensioners meals on a lunchtime which are very good value indeed

In Beverley on business for over a week and stayed here for all of it. 6 rooms in a separate block at the back with private parking off street and secure. Stayed in Room 4, a very comfortable upstairs double and in Room 3 the equally comfortable single beneath. All newly refurbished, en-suite, loads of hot water, free Wifi, TV, tea and coffee making and a splendid breakfast in the bar.It is a small and friendly local with television but not Sky Sports. Great selection of real ales on hand pump and much more besides.I will definitely stay here every time I come to Beverley.

We dropped in here for an evening drink when staying locally for a weekend. They had some reasonable beers on offer, albeit nothing overly special, but our appreciation of our selected pints was not helped by the music from the live band. There are several better pubs in Beverley, so not sure that we'll be returning.

The Dog and Duck is one of my regular haunts so I'm probably biased however, I am hard to please so take this as a huge recommendation. The staff are excellent, good range of beers and wines, traditional food menu and there is always a fire burning in the grate [ apart from that day in August when the Sun comes out ].

Called into the Dog and Duck Beverley for a bite to eat. Very pleasant establishment, friendly staff and a warm log fire. My meal was very filling having steamed fish with cheese and tomato on it, vegetables and mash. Safe for this Coeliac, my company had hickory chicken and chips. Well worth calling in.

My first trip to this town and came across this lovely little pub. A great homely atmosphere with a warm welcome from the staff. The meals were hot and tasty and reasonably priced The drinks were good value to.

We were in there for new years eve, what a great night. We went to Beverley for 3 days over the new year as we do every year. We go to the dog and duck everytime we are in Beverley because of the atmosphere.

My friend and I were going to walk into the centre of Beverley for lunch but, as we were soaked from the rain stopped off slightly early into the Dog & Duck, as I suspected they could have a coal fire on the go and they did, so we had the opportunity to dry out, get warm, have some black sheep and get some lunch. Great stay-we both had Christmas lunch, followed by a dessert. Very nice food in a very nice traditional homely pub.

In our view a must visit pub, friendly staff ,good location, great atmosphere!Fantastic kept beer , well trained staff that can pull a great pint !!!If in Beverley will always pop in !!

wonderful menu, great food not cheap but worth it was fantastic service will visit again if in the area

We had seen this pub on the internet as 'one to visit'.It was OK but a bit like walking into a time warp. The decor was very 80s/90s with wallpaper that had a 'sponging' effect of yellow and red. The carpet again was very dated a deep red pile and the music was Stock, Aitken And Waterman, not that there's anything wrong with that! Just setting the scene :) Having said all that it wasn't uninviting and was very clean and well lit and the service was good. The wine was cheap but I detected that it wasn't 11%, tasted more like 7%, so that probably explains the cost.

We gound this little gem by accident and what a find.We walked in and were warmly greeted by the very friendly bar staff.We got a nice table to enjoy our beer's ,my friend's enjoyed their lager's while i opted for DIRECTORS BITTER,this was just superb and hat's off to the staff they certainly know how to look after their beer's and ale's.The pub is mostly in my opinion a local's pub for the older generation and this is why the atmosphere was so nice,good banter and a smashing vibe to the place.The pub area of this establishment is very traditional and cosy.You will find the pub a little out of the centre and the main tourist walk's on LADYGATE.Opening hour's are;Monday to Sunday,open from 11am.

Meals about £6.50.....OAPs £4.00 (not the full menu eg Steak Pie or Fish and Chips today)Chips and gravy (nice) £1.50.Beers £3.25/£3.30 about 5 real ales and a cider.The best lunchtime value in Beverley. Helpful staff and quick to serve.

Pensioners Fish & Chips lunch only £8.00 for two ,very popular we got a table before the rush ,go early

It's a proper pub with friendly staff and good value fresh cooked food. Highly recommend the hot beef sandwiches and the chips which are the real deal, not frozen or oven chips.

We ventured here during our Beverly walk about. Happy to see Directors ale and a lovely pint it was.. A very homely pub and well done to the owners. Keep it up !!

I highly recommend the Dog & Duck Inn I really enjoy my visits because of the friendly welcome which you always get from Mark and the staff it is super. I enjoy being able to eat in a relaxed friendly atmosphere and I look forward to sitting around the lovely open fire. There is a varied menu and the food is very good. I really enjoy the Steak Pie and Chips and it is a reasonable price. I regularly eat at the Dog and Duck.

Although the food OK it was very reasonably priced. I would certainly eat there again, good value for money.

Went in for a quick drink. Traditional pub with good values I was there went the local mail voice choir came in, I was made to feel welcome.

Went here for a drink and to watch the football on Sky. To say that it was a bit like walking in a saloon where everyone stopped talking and stared at you is an understatement. We also think we had sat in 'someone's usual seat' as someone sat so close to us, we left after the one drink - the pub was only a quarter full for goodness sake! First impressions count and this impression was not a good one.
