“Old habits die hard”
Never fails to amaze us how many customers walk past the open main door to the newly opened “Bar and Kitchen” and go straight down to the Garden Lounge (which is currently only open on a Friday and Saturday night time and during the day on Saturdays)
In an effort to draw attention to the doorway Luke has knocked up two classy little planters and filled them with two lovely little olive trees!
Turn right at the traffic lights 😂
