• "Wanted to sit outside at one of the many tables there. Unfortunately the outside lights were turned off."
• "The only thing that stopped me giving the 5 stars was that there was a birthday party for a child of about 6 years old and there was only a couple of kids present (which sounded like about 10 kids), but the fifteen or so adults with them were absolutely not interested whatsoever in what their little cherubs were up to, so they let them race around the pub, jumping around, screaming etc without any control."
• "Hearing a staff member using the swear word F..king loudly to one of his customer friends as we were leaving, total unacceptable especially as we had young children with us."
