I took two old friends who had emigrated back to the pub they loved. Along with their favourite curry house, these were the two highlights of their reunion trip home.
The Red Lion had changed, but not too much as to be unfamiliar.
This was 3 years ago and the then manager managed to not only spoil the visit bus almost caused a breach of the peace.
One friend dared to complain about a short measure, then notice his pint of ESB had bits in it.  He argued that it 'was meant to be like that' and would not replace it. It took a long discussion to replace a pint.
The other dared to ask if the legendary Hot Sausage Special was available? He was confronted with 'If you want to take the piss, F*** off out of my pub, We only do gourmet food here,".  Nice.
Half an hour later in the garden he then asked us to move as our 'noise' -ordinary 'Compo Clegg and Foggy' like conversation was interferring with his party of friends.
He was rude and wholly unprofessional and in one hour destroyed everything we had collectively revered about that Pub which we had known all our lives and frequented regularly between 1977 and 2000. 

I've never been back, and I doubt that my friends will ever want to.
Someone please tell me this is not the same management today.
