If I could give less than one star I would. The staff were absolutely disgusting to me. I was desperate to use the toilet so I went in the pub and as soon as I went in the staff gave me dirty looks and even the public using it felt they had the authority to order me about, the manager proceeded with great hostility to tell me to basically leave out of there and I said to her what if I buy a drink she said no you’re not. I tell you I have never been made to feel like an outsider so much in this country. I was treated like I was a piece of dirt in their shoe, the tone, body language. The manager is condescending, patronising and arrogant. I am 100% sure if I wasn’t wearing a headscarf this wouldn’t have happened. Absolutely awful experience and I was left in tears. Even worse all the people drinking decided to join in the hostility and tell me to leave it was awful.
