ok folks here's the sp
after just over 4 years my business at the the shoulder went pop...
although the pub appeared always busy a cobination of dodgy accounts from a previous landlord and massive overheads for a small country pub contributed to my demise, all to often people with no catering expertise take and attempt to run pubs... this wasnt the case with me as the shoulders diary went like this:-
mon ladies skittles
tues ladies darts / bridge team
wed mens skittles
thur quiz night
fri rest night
sat rest night
sunday poker night
restaurant was open lunch dinner
so to sum up the the devil in this story was the landlord a company infamous for their greed...£32,000 rent and a beer tie that basically worked out to an exra £18,000 - £20,000
(basically you could buy the beer £25 ish a barrel cheaper than me in the trade?)
so finally thank you for your support its been a pleasure to meet you and realistically on our two stroke sundays i was a pig in sh*t.
now two stroke sundays are not finished...there's a local pub wanting to continue it.. probably a lot easier to get to..the format will remain and hopefully i'll see you there at THE GEORGE Watling Street Kilsby, Nr Rugby CV23 8YE 01788 822 229 ...last sunday in the month details to follow
