No of course it's not the best place, but if somebody calls a bar owner a "knob" on here because the bar owner objected to a musician passing the hat round when they had already agreed a fee with the bar owner, then - well, Jamie isn't here to defend himself, is he?


As a music promoter myself, it seems all wrong to try to be paid twice, once by the pub and once by the audience.


If an agreement isn't clear, then it should have been put in writing at the outset. And travelling expenses should have been taken into account when the fee was agreed.


I don't blame Jamie for deducting the hat money, sorry Kingy. We had quite a few gigs at Hooper's, and it just wouldn't have occurred to me to pass a hat round, as Jamie was paying us/the musicians.


Happy to discuss it over a pint or two .......

GTF - the hat part was part of the deal - lying cheating dick - full stop - and that's a full stop and I agree that this is no place for it but you asked for it - quel surprise


put in fricking writing and get lawyer involved - a deal is a deal is a deal and the guy was a to55pot , it's easy for an 'organiser' to say but when you just want to play you just want to play but you need to get paid what you have agreed

I only wish I could say the same! Needless to say by that stage, no-one cares about the layout or ambience of the place just the late opening hours :))

I was there on Tuesday evening, I rarely go there (used to regularly when it was the Black Cherry) it was nice, there were about 12 customers, the food one couple were eating looked nice. The staff behind the bar were pleasant enough just a bit of atmosphere lacking.

I happen to love the Korean Fried Chicken at the Draft House. Also had an excellent burger in there on several occasions.


Lots of picky moans on here but hard to say that its not at least a decent pub and at best a good-ish one versus other offerings in the past decade.

Oh, we're talking about the Draft House again, are we?


At the end of the day the beer selection is good and the food offering is decent (maybe a little inconsistent, but easily the best burger I've eaten in ED was at the DH). The interior isn't the best but I really think it deserves to survive at the very least...

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
