This is because, after visiting the pub myself, I found a review about it on Tripadvisor for April 2022 from Nikki 1792, which says "Awful discrimination - had my full drink taken away and kicked out for kissing my date. Apparently the landlord has no problem with the 'gays' as long as there's no show of public affection."
I've no way of checking the details of this incident but assuming it is accurate - I loathe discrimination. If the landlord dislikes PDAs in his pub that should apply to everybody. And it doesn't warrant kicking people out, just ask them to observe more decorous behaviour. Simple. Fair.
And by the way, it is not the 1970s we're in, it is the 2020s. Being openly gay became socially acceptable some years ago. Catch up.

Not lowest score I've ever awarded (The Abbey in Oldham had that distinction) but low enough to be an embarrassment. I have another trip planned to New Mills but this pub won't be seeing my money again.
