Edit - amusing response from you guys. No one is saying you can’t operate as a pub. But this is a residential area and having rowdy pub dwellers screaming/whaling at 23:00 is just bonkers. Close the garden at a reasonable time and bring your rowdy patrons inside and continue to operate as all pubs do…! Far too loud! The garden needs to be closed at 21:00. Every night pub dwellers are making ridiculous levels of noise which is so frustrating. I live very local and come to this pub often - is a great pub and staff are great! Real asset to the area, so such a shame for me to post this. Guys seriously - you need to close the garden at 9pm before someone gets the council involved.
