Whether it was because of the date, 1st Jan, or it's just the way it's run, it was all a bit amateurish. Don't get me wrong it's a nice pub and ok pub food, but that's about all it is. If it wanted to step up another notch, then more attention needs to placed on a possible 're fit, and greater focus on serving food of a better quality.
Having said all that, the staff did really well, considering the fact there was no where near enough on duty.
