The Middle Pub

I ate lunch at this pub yesterday with my family. We eat there at least once a month. When being served by the very tall foreigner guy at the till in the bistro, he forgot to ask for my members card, and l forgot to show it. When l mentioned it he just shrugged his shoulders and said “Oh well”. When l sat down l realised it was nearly $10 as there was 6 of us. So l went to the bar to see if l could redeem the points or something, and he came over to me from the bistro and said how much is it and you don’t need to complain. I said l haven’t even spoken to anyone. With that he went to the till and threw $10 at me. And the look he gave me was actually scary. It was nothing short of a death stare. With a smirk that was sinister. Very smug and over the top rude. When the lunch came out mine wasn’t there and by the time l got it, it was cold and my son had to ask for it and it was sitting on the bench. He took the buzzer of me when my family got their lunch and then never bothered to give me a sign that it was ready nor bring it over. Very rude man. My lunch was dreadful by the time l got it, and my family where finished eating. So obviously he deliberately did it and absolutely ruined my day. The bar staff their are awesome, always have been. But unfortunately after this incident, we won’t eat there again. Never in my life have l had anyone give me a dirty look like that bloke. It was something that even words can’t describe.

It was a great stay only marred by the kitchen service. At 8.10pm we attempted to order and was rudely told the kitchen is closed. This was not true as 6 dockets were still up to be cooked. I had attempted to call from our room to order and was told we cant take phone orders, you have to come down, so we come down within 5 minutes,only to be told the kitchen was closed... The Krappyioke was fabulous and the vibe in the hotel was good. The bar staff were busy but it's not hard to smile..
