A Heartfelt message from the Bar Staff
���������������������������� Please remember to order one drink
at a time as we like to run backwards and forwards, it keeps us
fit.
When ordering a round please make sure that you don't know what
you want when you arrive at the bar. We like to stand and wait
while you nip back & forth or shout across the room to find out,
(although we do find that other customers who have been waiting
for 1/2 an hour tend to start moaning, but hey, that's not your
problem!)
Once you have received two drinks please take them back to your
table and stay for a quick chat before coming back to pay. We'll
still be waiting, we're not going anywhere and we appreciate the
rest.
Always order Guinness last. We really want you to stand at the
bar with all your other drinks while it settles, and are
particularly pleased when we forget about it and have to be
reminded to top it up.
Never put money in our hands. We like to pick it up off the bar,
especially if it's all in change in a puddle of beer.
Never say please or thank you - the shock could bring on a heart
attack.
When requiring Ready Salted crisps please ensure that you ask
for the full range of flavours available before asking for
'plain' - it helps us learn the stock.
If you have been waiting at the bar for at least two minutes
please heckle us and tell us you have been there for 1/2 an hour
- it keeps us on our toes as we have no concept of time.
.When buying a pint for Tom, Colin etc. please don't ask them
what they want - just tell us their name and point out where
they're standing because we like to guess and get such a thrill
when we get it right.
An Finally .....can we remind you that the bell is there just to
make sure you are awake - we don't want you to come to the bar
for last orders, until two minutes past eleven when we have
turned the lights off.
