Peter,
Just a little feedback now that your pub has settled into the community, and generally positive you'll be pleased to hear.
Food - Good quality even if a little pricey but you normally get what you pay for. Slightly larger menu would be appreciated. There's often 4 of us that come to eat and it's quite rare that everyone finds something that they really fancy.
Beer - V Good. Pricey again though. Similiar pints at Woodies about 50p a pint cheaper (which is a lot !).
Atmosphere - Generally relaxing. One of the barman told me that you were trying to discourage the "football types" in favour of the "rugby types" which in some ways I can understand. However, not all football fans are lunatics and many will be quite annoyed at the stereotype. I was in the pub one Saturday and you turned off the football that was on in favour of, well, nothing. If you decide on a blanket ban then I will be very upset if you change your mind during the world cup (for example) just to cash in !
Staff - Very Friendly and competent. No compaints at all.
Toilets - better than they were but in some ways the worst bit of all. Surely a decent over-haul wouldn't have cost too much? The old tiles simply painted is not a good look.
Outside - Very nice. I like the different types of seats.
Overall then I will be visiting regularly. I like the calming atmosphere and it's certainly a million miles better than the railway. Keep it up !
Matt
