The Half Moon

This place hasn't changed at all. Same decor and playlist of what I remember from 12 yrs ago, but what's not broke, don't fix it! Love it. Mixed crowd, busy but room to sit. Little bar stools, benches and all round wood and no faff. Swift friendly service and open till late.

Never in my life have I seen a person rejected from a pub based on the colour of their skin. On Friday night, the bouncer rejected one person, of Indian descent, out of our four person group for no reason other than his ethnicity. Upon complaining, the owner confirmed "we would not be allowed in tonight" before he lets a subsequent all-white group behind us in the queue. To be rejected both by an employee and the owner shocked us and showed that discrimination within the Half Moon is widespread. We have reported this to the police but urge all potential customers to spend their money in oter places, where individuals are not rejected based on the colour of their skin.

The staff were incredibly rude. They raised their voice, and were extremely provocative. We came to the pub, thinking we would have a good night, but the staff told us not to play the piano. They have certainly lost our service
