A dark day - The CPT (Lounged)

[Help-Ma-Boab]

A flying visit from me. Looks great, quite a few in. Has ED's 1st proper smoko out back.

Will give it a full test drive next weekend.

What beers / lagers are they doing? Is there a heater outside for smokers?

Lets let this thread about The CPT drift away.

Well I was going to spend a long time in responding to this but TBH I can't be bothered. Not only does there seem to have been a SoH bypass for Sue and KK, but KKs inflammatory use of superfluous emotive terms such as "abuse", "insult", "human feelings" etc is completely over the top. It is also a post in ignorance as it does not take account of the PMs I have received from certain other folk supporters, so maybe KK is the one that needs to listen as I can hear everything! Maybe KK should spend more time on regurgitating boxing pundits rather than trying to fan the flames of imagined nastiness.

I actually thought I'd get several 'welcomes' as a new poster, but I guess life is hard. Enough said.

popped in this afternoon, was quite busy but the overbearing smell of varnish made us feel ill- Yes I know it will wear off in time.

you could always have popped in before your manicure...

I know this is the wrong thread but it seems I cannot post in the other section of the forum where the correct thread is . . . .Have I been chastised, for what and at whose whim?

Went in GE yesterday - not good IMO. Looks good at first sight but then obvious cracks appear. As others have said, the drinks are too expensive. The pint glasses are rubbish and not conducive to a good head on a pint. Whilst I was in there for just over an hour, one person brought back a pint of Murphys and complained about it, and then another person brought back a pint of lager and had it changed for a Moretti as something wrong with first lager.

Before I left I heard a barman telling another barman that the Morretti was "off". Ye Gods.

The bar is much too small, on both sides - this will lead to long queues if busy/at last orders. The bar staff can hardly move behind the bar as it is so pokey. The layout of the bar is very poor as the glass washer is located directly below the till and when the till is being used and the glass washer open/on the barman will have a hot pair!! The bar is too small for the size of the pub.

Kids were in the pub past 8pm which isn't good, and were jumping around on the new furniture and the staff were too scared to tell the irresponsible parent to stop them.

It seems that the ex saloon bar gents WC has turned into a sit down only, not sure if lobbied as could not get in, but potential a smelly dump could ruin your night out/food!

IMO it is (poor) style over substance, and designed for maximum profit /not customer satisfaction.

I do not believe in 'teething problems' as mentioned by others when it comes to these issues as I think the correct term should be ' opened too soon as too greedy'.

The manger is also an ex barman at the EDT, and again IMO he was not good there, and is not good here.

I will go again, but know it will only be a few times as when I go for a drink I want to relax, and not be wound up by surroundings or service etc.

Again, I know the wrong thread but see ealier - Popped into Tippler after GE and walked out 1 minute later due to the bad manners and rudeness of a barman in response to my polite enquiry into what drinks were on the 3 pumps I saw but were not labled nor had any other indication as to contents. Rudeness will not get my money or custom. Very very bad show HoT.
