Has anybody heard from the Tanner gang or visited as he doesn't respond to pm's these days(might be working for a living)

I feel recovered enough from the last guy fawkes party to contemplate another visit

Spoke to both Dave and Louise last week.
All seems to be ticking along nicely.
Been meaning to pop over for some grub again as the last time wa ate there it was excellent.
Also popped in for a beer on the way back from looking at some recording studios down the road and the beer was very good too.

The result of over a years hard graft seems to be finally coming to something, but there's still plenty to do yet. Working hard at it is the only way this place could ever survive, the main reason so many don't is that people take them on with a glorified view of being a landlord, thinking everything just works. It doesn't, it has to be worked hard at to make it work. Finally getting the message through to some round here
Still very much up and down, but this Saturday is the annual fireworks night, and coincides with almost all tables being fully booked days ago, extra staff being drafted in to help but we're still going to be rushed off our feet. Worth the effort though, last weekend we had some in from Sudbury who heard about us in Diss
Good things being said in almost all quarters, except one place down the road who thought they could pinch the idea by poaching one of our staff, only they didn't realise how lazy the bloke was so I hadn't wasted too much time teaching him much at all
We've changed loads since you were here last, but your corner of the bedroom is still there
Hoegaarden now on tap too

Hoegaarden now on tap too

Lead me to it

 

[Sixpence]

Lead me to it

Easy tiger
Had requests for it from some diners so the choice of Carling or Hoegaarden was no competition
Didn't realise it would cost that much though

 

[ChattingLil]

ah, Hoegaarden. Brings back my student days.... (working in the uni bar meant I could afford it!)
