All that money spent on having a conservatory built onto the side of the premises, with subsequent loss of garden facilities, just to go "up market" and become a gastro pub and look at it.  ::) Within a hour of opening ~ chaos!

Gastro pub? Gastro pub? I thought the new structure was for the benefit of the NHS supporters club, aka smokers. Somewhere they could go for a crafty drag now and then, and you're telling me it's for eating in?

Bloody hell, what's the world coming too? They'll be trying to stop us drinking next! Then, they'll have a go at what we eat . . . .


What do you mean, 'they've already started'?

Oh.  noooo:

Are you on commission from there? Or do you perhaps have shares? Owner?

You're always banging on about that place. Do they do soup-in-a-basket then?

I eat there sometimes, thasall!

I believe it's all owned by the Duke of Westminster

I also like this place (even if they can't spell!)

I wouldn't know about the spelling - I couldn't get past the voice over on the menus page! Couldn't get away fast enough!

I like the voiceover although how you get a 'Mediterranean' feel on the banks of the river Dee is beyond me.  eeek:

Nice place. More like the North Norfolk coast actually.

Frightful website. I have told them about the spellings, but will the listen? They aren't even sure how to spell their own name FFS!
