Stannington park cafe

[ReservedCB]

I don't think your intentions have changed at all from the tone of your post,you seem to have planned it all along...............anyway,good luck with that!

 

 

Selling alcohol has many downsides that's why we keep away from it and offer a BYO, which we will continue to do so. However, knowing it ruffles your feathers by us applying for a license to cover any eventuality I'll push that more for a full license and compete against the likes of lomas hall which is a community hall and NOT a PUB.

 

Call in for for a coffee and a chat. I'm also going to offer a Public Meeting to all who have concerns about Reserved CB's application and the planned change of use for Lomas Hall. Ill keep you posted. Roll summer and the carnival. lol lol

Back off Mossdog!

 

I really don't see what your issue is.. Within a stone throws distance you've got the crown and Glove, the Peacock, The rose and Crown and Lomas Hall.. What difference is it really going to make if the cafe has a license for music and alcohol? The whole area is surrounded by music and alcohol!!! Sounds to me like you're moaning for the sake of moaning!

 

Hi Reserved,

 

I know you've been there for some time now but i only got the oppertunity to pop in for the first time last week after a 10mile walk around dungworth and Bradfield! Your yummy coffee and cake was very much welcomed in my stomach.. Keep up the good work

.......you don't see the issue because you probably don't live within earshot of the park!

Stannington Carnival can generate very loud music on the day but as mentioned previously only once a year.Now the cafe owner has publicly stated his intention to provide live "outside"music at the Cafe, which without doubt will adversely affect many Stannington residents within earshot.Music provided at other venues you have mentioned are all indoors.

Alcohol on sale in the park from lunchtime till late at night will no doubt be a haven for under-aged drinkers as well as the park druggies.

I applaud the cafe as it is,but the owners further intentions seem a step too far in the opinion of a good number of people I have had conversations with!

Incorrect Mossdog, i grew up in Stannington and I have family that live on Oldfield Road with their gardens backing onto the park and the Church. I am very much aware of what it is like up there.. I still visit the pubs and that park is my old stomping ground when i was a youth..

 

I think it's a great idea for the cafe.. Also, If anything, having adults in the cafe at night time will hopefully deter the little scroats that use the park for drinking, smoking, spitting, swearing etc.. I'd have more of an issue with them than a bunch of adults enjoying themselves..

 

You make it sound like it going to be every night!

Let me put a few facts on the table and address some of the miss-informed assumptions you kindly throw about.

Our premise license application is to sell alcohol at PRIVATE events if required during 12-23.00 such as our Popup Bistro nights, this means we will not act like a pub and sell alcohol all day, every night.

You obviously don't know us but let me re-assure you and as year clearly mention in your previous post, theres not enough room to swing a cat, we will be able to manage and monitor any underage drinking or substance abuse better than any other establishment because of the size, environment and clientele we service. So it wont be a haven for druggies and underage drinking, you have such low understanding of your community. Alcohol can be purchased anywhere and drank within the park, as of today we've not seen any epidemic of this behaviour. You need to get out more.

Live music I different to amplified music. Our application is for music to be confined to the building and terrace and not the open space. If any event was to be had outside the premises, WE WOULD APPLY FOR A TENs like any other person or business on an as and when basis.

 

Your objection to our license application seems more about us being in direct competition to Lomas Hall. Which has applied to offer the same thing and is in position to affect directly, households within meters. Don't hide behind accusations and misinformation come out and say your part of the committee/ group that are trying to turn Lomas Hall into a private commercial business starting with the sale of alcohol.

 

Our café has become a community and helped so many local elderly lonely people, provided a meeting place for young parents, become a drop in point for the local constabulary and much more so instead knocking our intentions, get of your arse and get out more and see what benefits we offer and for whom.

 

Like I said earlier, were holding a public meeting to listen to their concerns and hopefully settle any fears or concerns. Something Lomas Hall should have done.

Chelle-82, many thanks for your support. Coffee and lunch on the house.

 

People like MossDog who have another motive don't have the capability to reason. :loopy:

Hmmm That's the trouble though with Stannington, it's full of moaners like mossdog!

 

When are you going to set up in Hillsborough park? The folk of Hillsborough are a bit more young and vibrant, Hillsborough Park would welcome such a venue with open arms.

.........sorry to disappoint but I have nothing whatsoever to do with the Lomas Hall in any capacity and was not aware of their intentions till you pointed it out in a private message to me.

But just to remind people of a previous post of yours__

 

"My intentions have changed, we will apply for a full premise license in the same way as Lomas Hall and offer the sale of alcohol as and when we see fit. Hopefully at the annual carnival which will go down a storm. Live local bands, artist on our terrace selling local Bradfield Ale."

Totally agree, if I could say what I really feel on here without getting banned I would do.

 

Working on Hillsborough Park and another location but we don't have a timeline as yet. Itll be well publicised.

ha ha ha ha and whats that prove??? ha ha ha It explains exactly what Ive been saying, 'when we see fit', 'on our terrace', 'live local bands, artist'............supporting a local business like Bradfield brewery. Something you should do. Is it time for bed, you seem a little

I wouldn't waste your breath! It's an internet forum, people become keyboard warriors.. If anyone had any real concerns they'd come and see you and talk to you and find a solution like 'propa' grown ups
