Mice in Clock House

Recommended Posts

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that appears that the Clock House near the Gardens is infested with Mice. I had dinner there on Wednesday night and saw a mouse running between the tables. We gave them the benefit of the doubt that the mouse had run in from the open door and that it was not the norm. We reported it to one of the bar staff that night as well. Tonight (Sunday) we had Sunday dinner there and there where multiple mice running throughout the restaurant. We again reported it to multiple bar staff and they did not seem concerned. This is such a disappointment as the clock house is very cute and has great food. However, we will not be eating there again as we cannot trust the cleanliness of the restaurant. I was there with out of town guest and it was rather embarrassing, especially in light of the first reporting of the mice, to have them see mice running throughout the restaurant.

@TheArtDogger. The mice incident has been such a disappointment as I live near the Clock House and was hoping to make this my normal pub. However, seeing mice twice in the same week has put me off. I would suggest not sitting in the back of the pub where the table service is as that is where we saw the mice.

Seconded. It's like an All Bar One in 2001 before even they cottoned on to half decent beers.

    • I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!  
    • Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter. 
    • So when will we find out? Is it going to be a big reveal on some specified day? If not, why can't you tell us now?! (I'm presuming you mean the new boss of Franklins. It would be too much to hope for that the Palmerston had a miraculous return to one of its better past incarnations. Never mind the food, they could bring back the lovely quirky painted column things of over twenty (?) years ago, and remove the hideous "art" that has sadly been installed. I feel really sorry for the staff, because it can't be just my partner and I who rarely go there any more. I suppose the only hope is that it does so badly that it changes hands again and that the new hands have better taste. Sorry, all off topic.)
    • I would hope that is extremely unlikely. If people accidentally vote for someone, that's their own fault, isn't it?
