Thanks for the clarification Nadia  I used to body swerve the pub when is was the Forest Hill Tavern.  I remember a group of us asking for a bottle of red wine once ....a hush descended around the pub! It was dirty, dark and noisy and hardly a fellow girlie to be spotted  I agree with you that a pub should attract the community - I like what you have done to the place with the fresh decor and the new drinks list on offer.  I don't miss the gang of men who used to crowd around the bar using dreadfully bad and offensive language - me and my girlfriends found it very off putting  I haven't seen the cute little dog with the waggy tail for a while though - is he/she still with you?  Hoping to see you again this Thursday for Open Mic  Good Luck!
