Pilchard Inn in South Hams

We had a wonderful dinner on Saturday eve by the fire, after getting the sea tractor across to this unique little gem of a pub. Warm and friendly atmosphere and you can feel the history of the pub. Great food and great service.

Not a fan of charging £2 extra for a plastic cup to drink outside even though you can get it back on return of the cup. Waited 20min to be served in a long que so not going through that for £2. Not a Fan

Lovely walk to an old haunt that my family used to frequent in the 70’s. It still has the same charm. We all ordered the fish and chips and were not disappointed.

Stopped off for a pint, sat outside over looking the causeway with great views. Very friendly staff with good selection of beer/lager/cider. Dog friendly.

Spent a very enjoyable hour here after a trip over on the sea tractor to the Island. The staff were incredibly friendly and obliging and we wish Liam, Fiona and Jim all the very best for the future.

Waited 20 minutes to be served. Had the haddock and chips, unfortunately they covered my meal in salt ! I dont like salt on anything ! Plus im not allowed to eat salt due to a health condition So couldnt eat the batter and had to try and wipenthe salt off each chip. But the whole thing just tasted like salt. Fish was thin and dried up, and as i couldnt eat the salt covered batter there was nothi g there. Will bring a cheese sarnie tomorrow

Great pub, excellent food and beer. Staff extremely friendly and welcoming. Loved the walk across the sand bar to the Island and the ride back on the sea tractor.

This place is very cosy and has an ideal view. However, I had a bad experience. I ordered a pint of cider, I took a sip and felt it didn't taste right at all. My partner took the cider to the bar and asked for it to be checked and possibly changed. The staff member quite 'confidently' asserted that the cider was absolutely fine and fresh, so I thought it must just be me. I drank the pint, and happened to see/ hear someone else also take their drink to the bar for questioning. We left, and as we were walking back across the beach, my stomach began to hurt. This became progressively worse over the next couple of hours, until the point that I projectile vomited aggressively throughout the evening. In conclusion- trust your instincts, if your pint tastes off, persist to ask for it to be changed or refunded.

I thought I'd chance this place despite the very mixed reviews. The pub is great, very old and traditional and very small but great "feel". However I ordered a pint of beer (Otter Amber) and it was served very very cloudy. I've drunk ale for 30 years and its extremely rare to have a cloudy beer that's meant to be cloudy. I said the beer is off and showed the barmaid the glass. She looked puzzled and said unconvincingly she thought that's how it was, but she didn't seem really sure, she was trying to compare it to lager. Her 2 colleagues also seemed not sure of what to say or do, but they all tried to maintain that ale is a cloudy drink. I was told "it is always like that". I sipped it, it tasted okish. I wasn't offered another drink. As I sat there drinking it I was damn sure the beer was not meant to be like that but persisted to drink it. Then other customers went up complaining the beer was offer, even given their beers back and walking out. At no point did they come over to apologise or offer to swap it. Staff in a pub should absolutely know how to look after and serve ale. So the beer is really crap, don't come here for a pint of ale. I then ordered the lager which was drinkable but in all seriousness I wouldn't rush back. Staff need training, cellarman needs to learn to look after beer.

We recently had a very bespoke and unusual wedding with a small wedding party . During the day of our wedding we visited The Pilchard Inn on Burgh Island for lunch . This had taken a little bit of organising over the months, but was well worth it ! Myself and my husband, already loved Burgh Island and The Pilchard and now so do our friends and family . We had such well presented and tasty food, baguettes and pasties . We do have to say a special thank you to the two ladies running the Pilchard that day, they were extremely busy but still were there for us. They also saved the day ( literally) when we had a little problem with leaving the Island via the sea tractor . These two ladies went above and beyond to help us and we will always be thankful to you . Can not recommend enough and made a special day … magical

We stopped here for drinks , ordered hot chocolate as our freimds had been before and recommended it , was let down as it wasn't very warm and was a basic drink woth no added extras as had been served on our freinds previous visits

We went there last night. Amazing food, large portion. We haven’t booked but we were accommodated straight away. Staff very friendly ! Such a beautiful island that you have to use a tractor to cross the other side, if you do it at night the experience is even more enjoyable! Will definitely be back!

Went as a family holiday, on our first visit the kids meal, fish, chips and peas I thought was reasonable at £7 then went back for the Tom Crocker Day and the food was a joke. The kids meal was still £7 however you only got half a hotdog, the chips had been market out with a market own on the menu and you had to pay an extra £3.50 if you wanted them. I have attached a picture of the half a hotdog priced at £7 and I will be taking this further.

They are missing the mark here. Things could be so much better. The food is overpriced and not value for money at all. £20.50 for 2 medium sized baguettes that took nearly 40 minutes to come. The chicken pesto baguette was nice but the egg mayo was awful. Couldn't taste the egg at all and the consistency was very runny. Everything is served in plastic. You'd expect better service ware for the prices you pay! My partner said the toilets were filthy. A lot of people around us were very unhappy. Feel sorry for the 2 ladies that paid £30 for 2 glasses of wine! (Again served in plastic!)

It was very quiet in the evening so lacked atmosphere, should have bisited in the day when it's more vibrant. The food was good 'pub grub' and the staff were friendly.

Was so looking forward to visiting this pub but was sadly disappointed. Poor service by uninterested staff; the depth of dirt on the floors, windows, chairs was amazing to see - clearly not been cleaned for a long time. But the toilets were beyond belief - loo paper on the floor, dirty seats and pans, no soap and filthy sinks - worse still the stench coming from the men’s loo was nauseating. So disrespectful to customers and the history of the building and those who have lived and work there over the centuries!!

Absolute rip off and poor service. We went in Summer holidays and they had a BBQ on which looked great. Whilst queuing for a kids meal they crossed out that it came with chips so I had to pay £7 for a hotdog and £4.50 for chips (so the most expensive kids meal I’ve come across). The photo is the pathetic hotdog when it was served and no we hadn’t eaten half!!! Spoke to manager and said it was a shambles they charged £7 for that and he just said that prices were set by head office and wasn’t really interested.

A fabulous Sunday evening on a warm summers day . Staff and service was very helpful as we arrived early ,was shown to a lovely window seat. Food was excellent and found prices the much the same as other seaside restaurants.. Reading some other reviews it is difficult to understand how a pub dating back to 13th century can cater for the many visitors that visit expecting quick food on demand . When inside it can only sit about 20/25 at the most. Thanks for a lovely evening.

Lovely little pub with lots of history. Didn’t eat but food coming out to others looked great but was expensive. Drinks bill kept coming to different amounts for the same order. Only take card, no cash. There’s a £2 deposit on your glass if you drink outside. Staff were friendly and welcoming.

The Pilchard Inn is a lovely place for drinks and food. Walks on the island are very pleasant but the only down side to our day was the timing of the sea tractor. We were able to walk over and looked forward to the ride back at a very reasonable £2 pp. However, the driver insisted on his every 1 hour return slot to carry 25 to 30 passengers. It then appeared that hotel guests and staff got priority. There was a long queue which resulted in an hour and a half wait for island and pub visitors. Surely in mid August it would have made sense to put extra runs on. Thankfully it was a cloudy day otherwise it would have been dark by the time we got back. We have been visitors to Bigbury since the mid 80's and never had this long a wait. Recommend visitors take tractor there and walk back. Richard Harbon

Called in on a wet summers day, friendly staff found us an indoor table and had drinks and a quick bite to eat. Haven't been here for years and good to see that non residents are welcome again as it should be...

We visited Burgh Island for the weekend and ate at the Pilchard on the Saturday evening. All I can say is the food, atmosphere and the service was amazing. The young girls that served us were lovely and we really enjoyed them telling us the story and showing us the face of Tom Crocker in the fireplace! It was a great evening, talking to the other diners and getting the sea tractor back at the end of the evening , would definitely recommend.

The pub and toilets are so dirty, rubbish everywhere, cigarette butts and no loo roll. The toilets looked like they hadn’t been cleaned for weeks. Disgusting. Food completely overpriced. Won’t be going back. Such a shame as it could be amazing.

Fantastic sunset enjoyed with a Burgh gin and tonic!!!

Decent food. A little expensive but then the location is fantastic

5 members of staff just standing about we had to wait 45 for a starter and a further hour for the main course no explanation as there was only 1 other couple in the restaurant ..the fish came no peas and no explanation why.. just dumped down..so asked if there was any green veg and was offered cabbage in garlic ..the place looks like it not been cleaned since 1950..we were staying at the burgh island hotel and assumed the pilchards inn was owned by the hotel . the quality of the service was not inkeeping with the hotels standards ..infact it was a country mile away thank goodness we only ste there 1 evening

Took friends to visit the island, ordered 3 fish and chips and 1 pasty and chips, order came out one meal at a time so an hour between the first and last meal, toilets were disgusting, obviously never checked, service was a joke, how embarrassing will not be visiting again or recommending to any other friends.

Lovely location and good beer. Thanks very much to Emma who made sure we got served.

Popped in for a quick pint and some food which was all very nice also got chatting to a man who's mother used to make jumpers for JOHN CRAVEN tv celebritie he said john used be quite rude to his mum and sometimes would spit at her things got really bad when one night john farted and waved it in his mums direction nasty bit of work if you ask me probably out of his nut on crystal meth giving it all the nice guy bit on telly when really his a bit of a bounber the man said his gonna get tooled up and go and give him a thrashing I said look out for cameras you don't want to get arrested he said thanks and then left .

Lovely spot, despite awful July weather. Friendly staff and splendid Guinness.

Fascinating pub on an island which can be walked to via a sand bar. Sea Tractor back if you stay too long and the tide cuts you off. Amazing building, good food and an incredible location.

Great little pub on Burgh Island in Bigbury-on-sea. It’s like a step back in time. The features of old ship decor makes it really inviting. The food is top notch. The service is next to none, most of the staff are uni students on summer work and are well suited for the job as they have a lot of attention to detail, even down to the serving of the drinks. Charlie made our drinks down to a T. Proper young ladies man! However, having to pay £2 for each glass on top of the drink was a pain. Then having to queue up afterwards to get your £2 refunded was a pain and almost not worth waiting as the bar is small and it’s a long wait. The drinks were high value too. The men’s toilets stank of urine and obviously not cleaned regularly as was wet and mouldy on the floor. It reminded me of a run down pub with no care. No soap to wash your hands and no mirrors. When you consider the hotel is a 5 star location and very expensive to stay at, it would not take much to make an impression to locals and holiday makers.

We cross to the Island only to have a dinner in The Pilchard Inn pub. We arrive 6:30 pm as the kitchen announced open at that time, we have the surprise that we have to book 24 hours ahead to have a dinner. 🤨🤨🤨 big disappointed. I think the restaurant must mentioned, reservation needs in the same advertisement they have around the village.

Excellent Food, Outstanding Service. I had the pleasure of eating in the pub in the evening and the meal was delicious and staff were very helpful we had some questions about the history of the building and the staff were well informed and happy to share. I had a sore throat and at the end of the meal when we were ordering coffees I requested a Hot Toddy and despite it not being on the menu and having to go between the kitchen and the Bar the staff were able to put it together for me and were pleased to do so. I feel this is a great example of quality food and staff and location all bundled into one and would definitely recommend.

Decent pub grub, not overly pricey. Friendly staff in a nice location. Boozy wade back to the beach was fun too!

This pub is a gem. It's as adorable as any picture you'll see, so I'll not gush too much about it's 13th century charm, it's island location, sea wall tables and views of the rocky Devon coast. Wow, .. oh the tractor "trundle" is as cute as it looks too. Food was quick and fresh, the fish and chips was 100% top class, stunning chunky fresh chips and juicy fish. All so reasonably priced, very ! One expensive item only, the crab sandwich. I asked the staff it's constitution, so as to gauge the cost / white crab ratio. I was offered a sample pot to eat and decide. I was not disappointed, a decodent sublime fresh crab sandwich. It's small, and busy , so be patient and enjoy the views, I'd recommend to everyone

Great food, drinks and location. Our dining experience wad a bit ruined by the smell of bleach. I hope staff read this review and start to use a less stinky and more eco friendly cleaner for their tables!

Great Inn dates back to 1336 lovely atmosphere on Burgh Island, Bigbury Bay. Take the sea tractor if the tide is in or walk across the causeway when the tide is out. The cider battered fish and chips were one of the best I have had

Very good pub. Visited while walking in the area and had a few beers. Beers all well kept. This pub has a lot of staff serving so despite it looking busy, we were always quickly served. Staff were friendly. You do need to pay a deposit for the plastic glass but it's returned with ease after your drinks. We did also have a portion of chips that were also fantastic. Recommended.

The food I had today was much better than it used to be. £8.50 for a small haddock with some triple cooked chips is actually not too bad. The issue is the lacklustre service and the fact that it’s £6.50 for a pint of Guinness served in a plastic cup which you have to pay a £2 deposit for, which you then have to queue up again for to get back. They need to get over the deposit scheme; it just makes getting a pint at a pub in a lovely setting feel like an absolute chore. Pints should also be served in the proper glass. Been going here for years and there’s always something disappointing about the visit. Glad the food is showing signs of improvement, but you can tell the staff get tired of having to tell everyone who wants a drink they need to pay a deposit for a cup. Just get rid of it!

Overpriced food and two inch head on an overpriced pint of beer. Seems to be policy to give short measures as happened every time. Had to ask for a full pint each time.

Super food in a unique location, delivered by excellent, friendly staff. Starters in particular were excellent - roasted cauliflower and trout. Mains included classic pub options, e.g. burger, fish and chips but my wife had a lovely mushroom and artichoke pie. Good drinks selection including very nice local Burgh Island gin. Would highly recommend

The most unfriendly welcome I think I have ever had in a pub. I got the impression they were doing me a big favour by serving me two drinks. My half pint was served in a plastic pint glass which I had to pay a £2 deposit for and no glass offered with my daughter's can of coke. Won't be going again next time we visit the island.

Arrived at Pilchard Inn at lunchtime, it was a wet miserable day. The pub was dark, grubby and despite the weather no-one bothered to light a fire. We asked to see menu and was told it was the chef's day off. The hotel was off limits so I was very disappointed that we were able to have any food.

Great location and staff really friendly. French fries 🍟 were the best I've ever tasted.

A lovely pub - as long as you don't mind a dog-arama.

Worth the effort of checking the tide times and planning a visit here. After a wander around Burgh Island, popped in for a drink before heading back to the mainland before the tide came in. There are two sections of this pub so if one half is busy, check out the other half. Lovely old historic pub.

Just called in for a drink. Food being served looked good. I felt sorry for the barman rushed off his feet hence a very long wait.

We came on a wet Friday in March. The bar was full but the Bar Manager worked to get us a table. The menu is small but the food is fantastic. The Head Chef clearly knows how to produce quality food at the right price. The pub is historic and the atmosphere alone is well worth a visit. And you get a 10 minute on the beach as well. What more could you ask for?

Stepping back in time, a warm welcome to a very cosy atmospheric space. Service lovely, relaxed. Staff busy and multi tasking. Menu basic for lunch, I had tasty curry pasty and local cider.

When we visited, there was no food on. Drinks were served reluctantly by the barman, who didn't want to chat. It was probably an off day, but the atmosphere was great. It was a shame that there was no food as we would have stayed for a while.

We popped in here hoping for a quick soft drink before leaving the wonderful Burgh Hotel. However we were greeted by the most unbelievably rude young man behind the bar. Now I know we all have bad days but this guy took the biscuit. Perhaps pop in to take in the history and just hope he’s not working that day.

A fabulous traditional pub ... anyone that gives 1 star does not understand (or care about) the hospitality business. Attentive staff , a tiny bar area ( 1366...) , great beer and fantastic pub snacks/grub. Absolutely loved it , if only it was my local.

Great atmosphere and great food. The chef went the extra mile to accommodate my allergy. Definitely recommend

Food was great, the pub is amazing. Steeped in history and a great place to spend an evening. Tom's service was top notch, he's a perfect host! Can't wait to return.

The most unpalatable meal I have ever eaten in my entire life! Pushy manager. Tiny excuse for a battered haddock which tasted of chemicals as if the fish had been kept for 10 years. Avoid like the plague!

Not a very warm welcome lovely old pub , maybe we arrived at the wrong time

A fabulous historical cozy pub with very friendly and welcoming staff. Great beers and the food was lush. The Scottish barmaid was so talkative and knowledgeable particularly about her native whisky.

Cozy pub with friendly staff, the food was lovely beware of the big portions! Interesting menu which although small had enough variety to suit everyone

Great atmosphere, delicious food and friendly service. Nothing was too much trouble, including making a banana free banoffee pie due to my allergies 😋

Looking forward to lunch on the island, but the staff were unwelcoming and unfriendly. They didn't seem to want to serve food, and gave curt responses to our enquiries, which didnt help or encourage or custom, so we had a drink and left. The girl at the bar kept her coat on, clearly she didn't want to be there either. We went back across the the Venus cafe for a tasty snack and pleasant service. We noticed a number of other would be Pilchard customers had come into the cafe to buy food instead of in the pub. All the people that asked about food in the Pilchard, left without ordering. Time of visit, Sunday 18th November 12.30

Great old pub from 1336, small cosy rooms excellent choice of beers.

Had lunch in the pub and the food came in takeaway containers. Soup at £8.50 was out of a packet. So very disappointed as it was never like this before. Will never go again, so sad. 😪😪

Unique place to get, one of our favourite pubs of all time

Very tranquil. A lovely pub to visit via the mechanical machine during high tides. As the pub is separated from the mainland by the sea at certain times. I understand you can drive or even walk across during low tides. Meal portions weren't the best, we had fish n chips, with the size of the fish being more like a child's portion.. I definitely wouldn't eat there again. But worth a visit for a drink or two.

A very special place with a unique history and spectacular location.

Unsure why this has such low reviews but recommend visiting when in Bigbury. Full of history and a great beer selection!

An incredible historic pub that I hope remains open for another 686 years! We sat outside and enjoyed the view across the beach, tentatively watching the tide edge closer together to eventually maroon us (if not for the sea tractor!). Because we sat outside there was a mandatory £2 deposit per plastic cup which is unfortunate, I do prefer my beer in a glass (who doesn't!) but I understand why this is enforced.

Friendly and welcoming pub. Bar staff fantastic

A great place for women who like to be ignored. My partner was left standing at the bar while 4 men arrived after her and got served (locals?) No idea what the food was like as it seemed like a futile wait and she left.

Absolutely terrible!! To be fair the beer was ok but that was the only thing good about the place. £2 deposit per plastic beaker to ensure you take them back. Ok thats fine except when I got back to the bar, there was an 8 person queue with 1 person serving, making coffee, food orders, beer and drinks and I hS to be said, very slowly. While I waited for my £4 refund 4 people left saying "waste of time" A poor lady at the front of the queue waited for her 3 coffees only to be told "Cash Only" when she tried to pay. The people in the queue allowed me to move to the front but the staff couldn't give me my £4 refund, guess why, the till had no money in it because they don't take cash. The card we paid with was by then with my wife walking on the beach. The bar manager was very rude, dismissive and clearly out of his depth.

The fish and chips was a very small, almost child's portion but it tasted fine. The service was extremely slow and not particularly friendly, although I understand it was a very busy day. Was not made easier by the cup return system, so people were queueing to order and queuing to return cups. The pub is in a prime location but you're paying for that, really.

Terrible service, tiny portions and silly prices. Came here last year and had the same deal, shame because the location is beautiful.

Awful place, worst pint of cider I’ve ever had, left most of it

I cannot fault this place. Amazing setting, interesting interior but also the two lads behind the bar who were run off their feet but still gave us a warm welcome. I sometimes think as customers we choose to forget the pressures of those serving us, pressures which are often out of their control. Great job lads.

Went in the 70and 80 holiday as kids, and been back since. I just love the place. . Went in the pilchard inn about 15 years ago. Took loads of photos inside the pub. And not one turned out. "Old school" camera back then. The ones outside were ok.... Spooky.

The service was appalling, they where unable to offer coffee, was told by the surley member of staff that the machine had broken, they didn't seem to have any stock as every drink we asked for they had run out, avoid this place entirely I have never met such disinterested rudd staff ever

A must see place beer is excellent and the bar staff go above and beyond especially dan will definitely be back

Went there on 26 August. Sea tractor there, walked back along the beach. Beer was good. Fast food from the associated cafe was tasty. Everyone enjoyed it

Lovely island, lovely location. Ends there though, £12 fish and chips, the fish was tiny and I mean tiny, counted the chips - 11. There is a deposit on the glasses, £2 a glass. We took ours back, said the money would go back into the bank, it never went through. Not a good experience. £33 - 2 pints, 2 fish the size of chicken goujons, 22 chips.☹️

Great place to people watch, nothing wrong with the pub, but watch out for pickpockets and thieves. £180.00 in cash out of my wallet…..llll can’t say any more.

Great place for a pint and to people watch. But look out for pickpockets and thieves. Got my wallet back minus £180.00. Good pint though bloody expensive.

After a lovely walk over to Burgh Island and taking in the fabulous views from the top, we decided to stop for a cider at The Pilchard Inn. Wished we hadn’t bothered. Service extremely slow and as mentioned in countless other reviews, you are served your drinks in plastic cups and charged £2 per cup which is refundable. It became a matter of principle to queue again for 25 minutes to get my £4 back and I came out fuming! Poor choice of cider and definitely wasn’t worth the effort.

Had dinner here last night with my family. The staff were very accomodating and the food was excellent. Well worth a visit.

The pub is great the staff are friendly and I learned a lot and the wooden statue in the corner date's back to the 14th century. There is also an amusing original paper sign of the rules of the lodge one of which is, no more than 3 in one bed.

Lovely friendly place to visit eat and drink ,

Well talk about a rip off, two different prices for the same round of drinks, £2 charge on a plastic glass and rotten outside tables, such a shame.

The lady running the bar I belive she is the manager has a really bad attitude problem that's puts a really bad atmosphere on the place like oh great my drinks empty got to go speak this dragon women again that looks like she's been stung by a 100 bees get rid of her your business will thrive she makes me not want to come back and I ordered 4 rounds of drinks and 2 out of the 4 times I ordered she charged me for the same plastic cups when i had already paid the deposit on them and brung them back to be resued again and she charged me again for the cups which are £2 each even though I have already paid the deposit on them it seems like it's a regular occurrence and are scamming people out of money. Also to add to this cup deposit scheme something needs to be changed as when we are finished using them and don't want to order any more drinks and get a refund of the plastic cups you have to re queue and when it's busy it's a long que and most people give up on returning the cups as the wait to get your money back for them is like 20 to 30 minutes just to get a refund on the cups there needs to be a way to speed this up as at the moment it is a con. Change the management improve the place other then that great location and every beach needs a pub 👍👌

Need to sort their system out. Deposit of £2 on plastic glasses which is fair enough but to wait in line with new customers in order to get your deposit back (15 mins) is ridiculous. Also pricing is random, £25 for a round of 3 drinks one day, £19.75 two days later for exactly the same, prices here include the deposit of £6. No other choice though for a drink after walking the glorious island.

The place is a historical landmark yet its run like a disorganised kiosk. Service is slow and unwelcoming, gloomy Morrissey waling in the background and then you have to queue back up to get your deposit back on the glasses you used. Dont bother and treat yourself in the beach cafe on mainland

Excellent pub on a remote island. Dan was excellent and made our 2 visits memorable. The Burgh island gin is a nice treat!

Lovely views in a beautiful location.

Went there and it was not a proper pub which sold food or drink.

I normally visit Bigbury once a year, spend a day or two on the beach, it's a lovely part of the world really. I've never stayed at the hotel but did have the good fortune to eat there. Our visit usually involves a visit to the Pilchard Inn. I noticed this year how unloved the area around the Inn is, cigarette stubs, worn out ground, dirty windows. It seems to me the island is happy to take my card payment but not so happy to invest in a little expenditure on the cheap seats I'm sure the same situation does not exist the other side if those grand gates! So come on Burgh Island Hotel lavish some £ on the Pilchard. Another note can we pay cash please, card payments benefit the card system each £ worth...well less than a £ after the fee is skimmed off. Take my cash, it will save you money! Thank you!

Need more bar staff. Difficult to get served in the small snug

Didn’t actually get to experience it. Emailed to book, told to call. Called to book, couldn’t speak to someone and so told to email. Emailed to book, didn’t get a reply. Total waste of time.

Daniel from the Pilchard Inn was an absolute legend, he kept us entertained all evening, and we hugely enjoyed our visit thanks to him!

No food on Saturday. Apparently food is only every other day, how crazy is that so on a busy Saturday we couldn’t get anything and the service for drinks was very slow as well. Not impressed so we wont be going back.

What a wonderful 80th birthday celebration we had at The Pilchard. The sea tractor made for a memorable start. Drivers and staff were wonderful at every point - so kind and friendly, but not obtrusive. The table dressing, and dinning space were beautiful. The short...

Haven't visited for a few years. This time there wasn't a friendly atmosphere at all; that's an understatement. Young staff were not in a rush at all but were friendly enough (not overly.) Service was slow; the manager looked unapproachable (I presume she was the manager), she was cleaning tables around us, slamming chairs (loudly), making comments about cleaning/sweeping up, customers were literally watching her in shock. We left straight after, after our two expensive rounds of drinks.
