Decided to go check out the new exciting venue in town with a friend on a quiet Wednesday night. Upon arriving we were told to wait to be seated even though there was only 6 people in the venue, and had to wait over five minutes for the only server at the bar to come over and seat us (who told us to sit anywhere but only after we were granted his permission). Sat for another 5/10 minutes flicking the menu looking for a non alcoholic option as my friend was driving. The menu said ask the server about our non alcoholic options, so my friend walked over to the bar, only to be told by the server that it was table service and to sit back down and somebody would be over to take our order. The server finally came over another five minutes later and my friend asked about their mocktail range, the server said they could make any mocktail she could think of and they would try and replicate it. She asked if they could make a mocktail version of any of the drinks on their current menu and he rudely scoffed and said “well no because it would taste different”. We decided not to stay at that point after being put on the spot with no mocktail options available and no price range for said imaginary mocktails, and the staff were rude so we left. Really disappointed to be alienated by such a common request, especially in a busy city centre on a very quiet night.

We’ve always called at Continental with our well behaved children after the football for a couple and by ourselves on nights out for quite a few more! Turned up today and a first we’ve seen at this premises, a doorman, who was lovely by the way. He wasn’t sure if children were allowed so went to ask. The landlady came to the door and told us as they didn’t do food they didn’t have a license for children. This to anyone in the pub trade will know that at 18:15 this was either an ignorance or a Pinocchio moment. We said we’ve always gone with our children after the footy. Rather than be polite I got a smarmy look and ‘How many times since it changed hands three days ago?’ Having a no children policy doesn’t need to entail lies and rudeness. Needless to say we won’t be back until ‘Vampire Rabbit’ 👈🏼🤣 changes hands, which with her attitude I predict...
