Opening night for what is now called 'The Lounge' that is in the lower portion of the Old Copper Malt House pub. We had great expectations for this place that has sat empty for sometime. We were therefore a little disappointed that apart from some paintwork, little has changed since the last iteration of this venue. The bar side was the same as I remember it from a few years ago; the advertising in the local social media promised a 'Sports bar & Grill'.

My daughter had the gammon baguette. The bread was so stale it was rock hard and she was unable to bite into it. My son's sausages were burnt. My husband and I had the chicken breast burger but instead we were given a deep fried schnitzel style piece of chicken that was around 1cm thick. There was nothing else inside the burger.
