The John St area could turn into one huge session area which might lead to some messy behaviour as the night progresses. TBH we have all been locked away for a third of the year with virtually no social outlet. People are entitled to let the hair down and enjoy. There is a lot of pent up frustration to be released!

Leaving covid aside, the anti social behaviour that will inevitably go with others "releasing their frustrations" would put me right off. My future social life is going to involve a lot of back gardens, gazebos and bbqs. But admittedly I'm in my forties so it takes little to please me in that regard!

Outdoor only but we will be working on our back yard to make sure we have more seating available . The Woodie is Back ......................' Great news love that pub Another place which could be made into some job is the Wander Inn as the owner owns the car park at the back of it but he's old school so unlikely it's going to reopen for outdoors
