Went out post lockdown for a date night with my partner - we are professionals in our 50s. Was met by a surly doorman who wanted to know where we had been prior? None of the staff were wearing masks, and only a loose grasp of social distancing was in place. Real ale used to be good in this pub with the previous landlord but spotting a few cloudy pints I opted for a cider, the Mrs went for a large posh gin with all the add- ons. We found an empty table, didn’t look like it had been wiped down. About 10 minutes later we were told we had to pour our drinks into plastic pint glasses. When asked why no reasonable reason was given - so I refused and asked to see the manager. She came over and said that it had been a rough night and everyone else was doing it. I replied that if we were expected to drink out of plastic glasses we wouldn’t have entered the business or spent our money. I replied that we would finish our drinks that they had presented to us as their product - and leave she then insisted my wife pour a double speciality gin into a plastic pint glass. We left and shall not return under present ownership. The request not only seemed unfair but implied that we were untrustworthy or that the management were letting a very unsavoury clientele into this once great pub? With the plastic bags scattered about I made a personal assumption as to the cause of this unruliness …. I am so disappointed to see such a previously well managed and welcoming pub go so low- and would advise anyone adverse to recreational pharmaceuticals to await new management before visiting.
