I don't want to get into personally slagging any individual off,what I will tell people is that the owner has since made personal threats towards myself which I find absolutely digusting,me and my friend were loyal members of staff working days off for no pay but to no avail,I personally paid for deliveries out of my own pocket on many occasions as the management never seemed to b around!!and now after leaving they are throwing accusations round which is totally unexceptible,there is much much more I could say but that's just not my style,when I work for an employer I always give 100% as does my friend

barrym, do not take this personally. the landlord in there is notorious for this kind of thing. it' s a total mystery how this pub is still going. i have yet to come across anyone with a good word to say about it.

if you now find yourself without work, have a wander into the 'george canning' on grove lane. the couple running it are terrific and they might be looking for a live-in chef/bar-man as the previous one has just left (under happy circumstances) to go travelling.

I'm not sure of the reason for your post, barrym but you say you have had threats made against you-that is a very serious allegation - not wise to do on a publib forum without offering any proof. I recall seeing you drinking and laughing with the management several times so can only assume the relationship has broken down quite recently. I hope the new year brings better for you.
O I have proof ok,tony made the threat to my second chef on sun,and mite I add he was there to collect money owed for deliveries I paid for months ago,needless to say we never received money for days owed,anyway to answer ur question yes I did drink with them many times till they started one by one turning on all the staff,gary twice in one week lost the plot with me shouting about a booking they were meant to confirm,I was head chef,he decided to belittle me while intoxacated infront of costomers..is that fair?and secondly my and my friend was living upstairs,with no form of heating at all,we both ended up sick for about 2weeks,wen we received electric heaters it was costing us 10pound per nite cus we had meters in our rooms so take what u like from that,u try living in them conditions, I will not b accepting being verbaly abused by a drunk man

Sounds like you're better off out of there. Letting rooms out above the pub with electric meters must be how they make their money.

    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
