Old Horns Inn Pub Reviews

I just want to comment on what a lovely pub the Old horns Inn at Bradfield is. We live in Mallorca (Spain) and visited the pub on a cold winters day in January. It is a beautiful pub with very friendly staff. We took plenty of photos and will remember this lovely place for a long time. The church in the village is also breathtaking. This really is a stunning part of the world.

Nice location, poor sandwiches, appallingly rude landlord.

We went to the Old Horns Inn on lunchtime of Sunday 27th August 2006 with my mother and her friend. We got a table and waited for my father and his friend who were walking to the pub to arrive. The first I knew of their arrival was when the landlord came charging out of the kitchen bellowing at my father as he had walking boots on. My father had no problem with taking his boots off, but as there was no sign requesting this, a polite request would have been sufficient (for the record, his boots were as clean as anyone else's shoes).

My girlfriend and I both ordered simple cheese & pickle sandwiches on white bread and the other four ordered various meat and cheese sandwiches on brown bread. On the first bite of my sandwich I was met with a terrible taste of chemicals (think toilet cleaner or Windolene - or both!). I thought at first it might just be a particularly strong pickle and tried another mouthful, but it was really awful. I asked my girlfriend how hers was, and she said 'it tastes of chemicals'! A couple of others at the table tried the sandwiches and agreed that they were very unpleasant.

In typical English fashion, I was just going to leave the food and say nothing about it. However, my father decided to take the plates back. The woman behind the bar said "where do you think you are going with those sandwiches"! He explained that they tasted very bad, and so she took them back into the kitchen. About a minute later the landlord came steaming out of the kitchen (again!), slammed £4.20 on the table and said "There's NOTHING wrong with it. It's the LASHINGS of pickle YOU put on it" and stormed off without another word.

Now call me crazy, but it's pretty easy to make a cheese sandwich, and pretty hard to get it wrong. If two customers say that a sandwich has a nasty chemically taste, then just accept that they are right and bring a new sandwich. As it happens, I'll never ever go back to the Old Horns Inn and neither will my parents or their friends. Hopefully, after reading my review, neither will you! There is absolutely no advantage in treating paying customers like that for the sake of two cheese sandwiches...

I'll give the pub 2/10 as the view from the restaurant is nice (providing the angry landlord isn't blocking your view!).

Just as a quick follow up to my previous review: my mother has just called to say what happened after me and my girlfriend left the premises.

As my parents and their friends left, the landlord AGAIN charged out of the kitchen and said "WHAT DID YOU SAY?". My mother said that she had merely commented that it was a shame the service and food was so bad because the pub and location was nice.

Amazingly, the landlord got right up in her face and shouted "YOU COME HERE WITH YOUR MUDDY BOOTS AND MESS UP MY CARPET AND COMPLAIN ABOUT THE FOOD - F**K OFF BACK TO THE CITY"!

Seriously, if you're going to this pub and you don't turn up in a combine harvester, this lunatic landlord will think you are one of "them there fancy lollin' city folks" and give you a load of abuse. Avoid like the plague!
