The King William Iv Country Inn

Went to the sedgeford king William Saturday night 12/8/23, not happy in the slightest, to start our group booking was made in correct as the establishment contacted our party lead name saying we had a reservation for 6pm and was late, when in fact it was for 7pm , were seated late, the bar manager when approached said he was waiting for us, but the fact no staff came to us had escaped his mind, we then sat waiting for 20 minutes before our order was taken, the orders arrived in good time and as requested, during the meal we sat with empty glasses and was not approached for a refill, we had to stop a waitress to get a drink and that obviously was troubling the girl as she really didn't want to take a drinks order, we were offered a desert but declined, within ten minutes the bar manager slapped our tab on the table, we didn't request the bill it just appeared, abruptly.. this was 9.00pm , we got up from our table and went to the bar, ordered a round of drinks and paid our tab, as we are local to the area born and bred, we met some old acquaintances and stood chatting, ordered two whiskeys , around 9:40pm at 10:02 requested two more and the bar manager said I'm closed and tilled up, we close at 10pm ! Looking slightly bemused our acquaintance agreed, yes he said he closes at 10:00, there was easily 15 people in the establishment with seated diners and drinkers in the bar, in a Saturday night... Obviously there is way too much money in hospitality at sedgeford? Considering the staff were unmotivated, the bar manager was not only too full of his own importance, but I found him rude and ignorant, there was a small family staying the night with a unruly yapping dog, that the owners were oblivious to its constant barking at anyone that moved, numerous diner's asked to be relocated, one mid meal as plates of half eaten food where transported by us to a vacant table, yet as manager he clearly was to frightened to request the animal be removed from the public area, and rather he would upset his paying guests, obviously of the mind set that each and everyone was a tripper and will never be seen again so no need to bother, more a case of I have your money so go sooner than later and if the yapping dog drives you out before 10pm the better for me attitude. Safe to say this will be the last visit to a pub I have frequented for 40 years, and if this is the standard set by the Red Cat Pub Company, then once bitten twice shy of any other red cat establishments.
