To say we are utterly pissed off & dejected at today's news is an understatement.
I realise many will be feeling exactly the same.
Why did they have to leave until the last minute??
So much work & stock purchased for nothing. We simply cannot keep absorbing these mass losses🙈

Having only opened two months ago, chuffed that we have made it on to the Estrella Top 100 UK Gastropubs.
Hopefully, we can work towards being back in the Top 50 again, next year.

So out of 7 confirmed interviews only 2 have had the decentcy to turn up.

Lost for words, no class👇
Can't remember blaming anybody!
Achieving a top UK 50 gastropub, doesn't take much effort does it!
How many other operators paid a full rent & a rent INCREASE throughout lockdown?? And didn't obstruct any viewing they asked.
Not quite the professional.

To the x5 no shows today. We could of sold table elsewhere if you had been kind enough just to call. It's not asking too much.
Every penny counts right now.
And x5 who arrived 1 hour late, then started demanding to be fed there & then.

If you are a chef or operator that is feeling overwhelmed or anxious and need a chat, please DO get in touch.

To suggest the world all go vegan is ludicrous What might be a better idea is a complete ban on intensive farming practices Give more respect to the farmers & suppliers who do it right We might then see the true value of meat, which may offer a better balance to all

If I could share any advice from my own hard learned lessons over the years. Do not chase accolades. You can't control them. If it's going to happen, it will. Instead focus on making your business the best it can be. Because without that there will be no accolades.

Today should have have been full of Sunday lunch diners.
Instead just a table for us, in the popular snug. First time we have ever sat in the snug to eat!!
Looking forward to the time when we can hopefully welcome customers back.

Does working 14 to 15 hours day constitute you being labelled a 'snowflake'? And for next to nothing in any renumeration.
According to a local dickhead, that's apparently what we are.
Getting a wee bit jaded with some of the pathetic digs.
Glad we have some great local support.
