andyofborg   11 #2 Posted May 16, 2021 no idea, i seem to think it's quite small and doesn't have an outside. with the numbers who can currently go into such a place it might not be worth opening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Thirsty Relic   215 #3 Posted May 16, 2021 Yes, I think quite a few pubs won't find it worthwhile opening at present. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
HeHasRisen   3,405 #4 Posted May 17, 2021 If places were reopening you would think they would be shouting from the rooftop, wouldnt you? Not quite.....I have a restaurant on Facebook and not been a peep out of them since late October when they had to shut, sent them a message on Wednesday asking if they were reopening today, took them 2 days to reply to tell me yes and as of this morning they still havent posted anything publicly on FB to say they are reopening.  Do you actually want the business, lads? 🤔 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

HeHasRisen   3,405 #6 Posted May 17, 2021 Maybe. Dont really think places can afford to be choosy, especially as said place still has availability for this evening when they will be operating a reduced capacity anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
olilew   11 #7 Posted May 17, 2021 Stopped going in since they hiked their prices up just before the last lockdown. Our round went up from 4.40 to 6 40, a rise of a pound a pint. Had a word with the manager and he said nothing he could do so told him he had lost us permanently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

No I wouldn't have paid it, I've seen "Grand Heritage" ones on there for about £320, and as great as they look, Dad would disown me if I paid that much for a suit I'd wear about 4 times a year.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
