Great pub but the brewery stopped brewing some time ago. This wasn't mentioned when we booked and we found out part way through the tour.

The Brewery tour was very good and interesting. The explanation of the brewing process was good, though quite fast - had it been done in front of the process diagram on the wall, it would have been better. Our guide was enthusiastic and knowledgable. The smelling of the hops and barley grain, and then tasting the beers, was interesting and enjoyable. It was a nice touch to then gift each tourist a 6-pack of mixed beverages of their choosing.
We stayed to have dinner. As I stood next in line to order some food, another patron decided to jump the queue and order his meal. I protested to him and the female staff member serving him - but she just allowed it to happen. Instead of serving me, she sent me to another register where I had to further wait for service. As I walked to the other register, she apologised to the guy to who had jumped the queue! In my 15 years of hospitality experience, and as a general customer/consumer, this remains one of my top pet-hates - queue jumping and staff not respecting their customer's patience.
The food was nice, though poor staff ettiquette resulted in a disappointing end to what was otherwise an enjoyable visit, hense a 5/5 rating reduced to 3/5.
