Proper place

Recently moved to the area and slowly working our way through the local pubs. We walked in on a Tuesday evening to find the place completely empty. This did look a bit suspicious, but we decided to give it a chance anyway. Drink selection very limited, but we're not fussy, so that wasn't an issue. Bartender very charming and friendly, and as we were ordering our drinks the owner came out for a chat too. He was friendly and mentioned that their food is fresh and home cooked, so we decided to have dinner there as well. The food arrived quickly, I ordered the chicken wings and my partner ordered the haggis. Unfortunately the wings were inedible - soggy, lukewarm, and with a very clear taste of microwaved chicken. When the owner came to ask how our food was, I informed him that the wings are not great and I wasn't going to eat them. He then proceeded to pull a chair up and sit at the table with us explaining how he has to cook them in batches and refrigerate them. This was very strange, considering my partner was eating, as he sat down with us to tell me how it's my fault that I didn't mention beforehand that I didn't like re-heated chicken. It made us very uncomfortable. Sad to say we will not be returning to the Watermans Arms, mostly due to the owner's very strange behaviour when faced with criticism about his food.
