Christmas eve, eve, our works mini get together. Although lots of customers who seemed happy and enjoying themselves, it wasn't that easy for others to manoeuvre past them to other tables and seating. Lady seated at a chair partially across main door into bar with her dog, another chair someone is seated at and someone standing at the bar, the walkway is completely blocked. Not that practical, can only imagine how wheelchair users or someone with walking sticks would feel. Might look good on plans but no good when there's bums on seats. Very dissapointed with price and quality of drinks. It was a Friday and first time visiting since refurb. Would have been nice to be told there was an offer on wine(thurs,fri,sat). I think it was £18 for a bottle of wine which wasnt enjoyed, yet a special offer on other wines buy two large glasses get rest of bottle free. Although food looked appealing we didn't get to sample it. After situation regarding drinks, felt we werent comfortable ordering food. Also it was fish Friday but they'd run out of fish? 5.30pm! No Christmas decorations. No Christmas music. No Christmas atmosphere. Didn't feel we were made welcome atall. Shame as we had been looking forward to returning. Can't believe the door on the ladies toilet still opens from the right, would be so easy, more practical to change it to the left. The new seating area in the garden looks very nice and I'm sure will be a hit for many. Sadly we won't return. Not that I think the staff will care.
