I've been a local regular to this pub for a number of years. The ownership has recently changed and…read moresince the food is still very good I feel sad that I no longer feel welcome. I have just experienced the worst possible customer service and I am still in shock at how I have been treated. I arrived a few minutes before 12, another local regular was before me and opened the door. A member of staff came to the door and told us that since it was 11:55 we had to wait outside until they open. Both myself and the person in front of me have walking aids and clearly have disabilities. When they let us inside I explained that I was not happy that they had made two people with disabilities wait standing outside, as it is painful to stand and I felt they could have let us come in and sit down on the chairs by the door until they were ready for service (i.e. the pubs inside waiting area). The lady apologised and said she would take this on board. I excepted her apology but asked if I could talk to the manager. I wanted to talk to the manager as I felt it was important for the establishment to understand the need to make adaptations for disabled people and so wanted an assurance from management that they would let people with disabilities sit in the waiting area. She showed me the manager and I approached him and explained that the people told to wait had disabilities and that they should have let us sit down by the door to wait. The manger completely blanked me, he completely ignored me as I was talking to him, he did not say a word and acted like I was invisible. The poor waitress had to come over and tell me that she would pass on the message to the owner and sat us down at our table. I could not believe how badly I had been treated by the manager. When the manger came over to take payment from me I told him that I was unhappy with the way he had treated me, that he should not have ignored me and should have responded to me when I spoke to him. He rolled his eyes at me then smirked at me and said "what are you talking about you never came over to talk to me" and walked off. The owner then came out and apologised and offered us a free meal next time we visit, but I did not complain in order to get free food so I explained that the behaviour of the manager was not acceptable and therefore it should be the manager that apologises to me. He eventually came over to me, rolled his eyes, smirked at me and in a very unprofessional and antagonistic tone said "sorry but I did not have to deal with you because the woman at the desk was dealing with you". He stated arguing with me, at which point I decided to leave as I did not want an argument. There was no professionalism and his conduct fell very short from what is expected in hospitality. The reason for me wanting to talk to the manger was not to get the waitress into trouble, I just wanted the mangers to understand the impact of not allowing people with disabilities to sit down whilst waiting a few minutes for service to start, as something like that has a big impact on disabled people and the previous owners always used to let us wait inside. Incidentally the manger put a bottle of wine and two beers that I had not ordered on my bill a few weeks ago and he did not apologise for that at the time either, he just walked away without talking to me and got others to deal with it. Treating customers like this is not acceptable, I was not difficult or rude to anyone, I was polite and well mannered, did not raise my voice and was raising a legitimate concern. I payed my bill in full, I was not trying to get money off or a free meal, first I just wanted the establishment to have more disability awareness and then after the conduct of the manager I wanted an apology for the shocking way he treated me. Although the food is good, it's not acceptable to be treated this way, I felt that his behaviour towards me was aggressive and unprofessional, I'm still in shock that this has happened

"A couple of prime rump steaks cooked just how you like them with a peppercorn sauce, hand cut chips and garnish and a bottle of our Shiraz, Sauvignon Blanc or Merlot Rosé wine for just £25". The steaks were cooked perfectly and the servers were attentive, prompt and polite. I also recommend the bread and olive appetizer. The bread had the most delicate and tender yet dense crumb and the butter was the perfect salty compliment. Cons/Suggestions: None, currently.

I mostly come here in the day to watch the football (On huge screens, they also have 3D aswell now) and eat a meal, though I sometimes come in on a night out and I can't honestly say it's ever caused me any grief. The walkabout member card system is amazing - everything becomes 20% (ish) cheaper and it pays for itself after a few visits.

It's really large and spacious which I like and dedicates itself hugely to broadcasting sports on giant screens as well as multiple smaller TVs. Customer Service: This is probably where Walkabout gets 1 star off. The customer service really isn't the best. Admittedly, it's not like they're rude, but a tad bit unprofessional. A guy who served me was clearly tired, most likely hungover, and not friendly or enthusiastic at all. If you order food, employees are a bit overeager to clear your plates for some strange reason. I had a huge bowl of chips still untouched and was asked if I wanted it cleared... wtf? Food: Reaaaally realllly good. It may be just a sports bar rather than a proper restaurant, but don't underestimate the food. I had Aussie-Style Steak Pie (comes with mashed potatoes, mushy peas, gravy) and it was one of the best meat pies I've ever had. I even started craving another one a few hours after finishing it. The bowl of chips was really great as well - covered with cheese and served with a side of dipping sauce of your choice. I chose Garlic Mayonnaise and it went fantastic and delicious with the chips! (Also great with the mashed potatoes in the Aussie-Style Steak Pie meal). --- Overall, I'm a fan of Walkabout and would come here again. It's definitely a top-rate sports bar that has televisions everywhere, decently priced drinks and food, and deliciousss meat pies!

A huge disappointment to say the least. Hungry and tired we wondered what to do. That's when the special happened. The bartender was so kind. Great Welsh beer and cider and plenty of warm, genuine smiles. Plus it was karaoke night and the pub was filled with wonderful, friendly (and TALENTED) locals who made us feel so welcome. One lady brought her delicious homemade cakes and brownies to share! They all sang us a beautiful Welsh folk song as a farewell. It was sad to leave. Thank you, kind people of Mawdlam!

The Farmers Arms is a long established business, situated opposite the Pitcott Pool in St Bride's Major. Although it's a CAMRA recommended pub, with a good selection of real ales, its main business is food, where you can eat either in its sizeable main restaurant or have a bar meal. You'll find nothing trendy or unexpected here. The menu is broad but predictable, and when I visited for Sunday lunch its clientele were predominantly senior citizens. Unusually there is no inclusive menu, but each course was reasonably priced, with generous portions. The desserts were particularly plentiful and at £4.50 on average reasonable value for money. It also has a good fish menu, with sole and coley the highlighted daily special offerings when I visited. The staff were very friendly and efficient, providing brisk service without making you feel hurried or harried. Overall well worth a visit.

Shame then that this experience was let down by a lacklustre initial welcome and the quality of the food served. Though the restaurant service was attentive and the mushroom stoganough was quickly and reasonably presented, it was just unpleasant to eat, which I suppose is the key factor. Chips were cooked nicely, crisp on outside and soft centred, but they were the usual caterers' mass produced ones (presumably bought in big bags) that taste as if they've been reconstituted and not like freshly cut chips from proper spuds. Pudding was priced at town center restaurant prices lemon meringue roulade but looked like it had been thrown at the plate from the other side of the kitchen a real smash up. This is definitely not fine dining. Is this a pub or is it pretending to be a restaurant and doing neither very well? The location of the pub/restaurant is good, on the road out of St Brides towards Wick just by the duck pond. If you like traditional, low beamed rooms decorated with hanging jugs and such like, with dark red carpets and traditional dark wooden tables, then this is the place for you personally find this decor dated and gloomy. Not great.
