点评:When this pub reopened in summer 2024, many locals were cautiously optimistic. It looked like a chance to bring something positive back to the area. For a few weeks, it seemed promising - respectful opening hours, manageable noise, and a generally considerate approach.
Unfortunately, that didn’t last.
As time went on, the pub’s operations became increasingly disruptive. Music volumes were turned up, windows and doors left wide open late into the night - often until 1 or 2am - despite clear licensing restrictions. Live music events began to appear regularly, with little to no regard for noise control or residential impact.
More worrying is the behaviour outside the venue (main street): groups gathering to smoke, litter despite the pub having a considerably large garden in the back, play loud music from cars, shout across the street, and generally treat the neighbourhood like a festival field or an afterparty - in the middle of a quiet village. Driveways have been blocked, sleep disturbed, and a quiet residential street turned into a late-night hotspot - with no consideration to locals.
This isn’t about disliking pubs. It’s about basic respect for those who live nearby. This venue has shown little of it.
翻译:这家酒吧于2024年夏天重新开业时,许多当地人都持谨慎乐观的态度。这看起来像是一个为当地带来积极影响的机会。几周来,它似乎前景光明——营业时间合理、噪音可控,而且总体上服务周到。
不幸的是,这种情况并没有持续太久。
随着时间的推移,酒吧的运营变得越来越扰人。音乐音量被调大,门窗敞开到深夜——经常到凌晨1点或2点——尽管有明确的许可限制。现场音乐活动开始定期出现,几乎完全不考虑噪音控制或对居民的影响。
更令人担忧的是酒吧外(主街)的行为:成群结队地聚集吸烟,尽管酒吧后面有一个相当大的花园,却乱扔垃圾,在汽车里大声播放音乐,在街对面大喊大叫,并且把这个街区当成了一个节日庆典的场地或派对的场地——在一个安静的村庄中心。车道被堵塞,睡眠被打扰,一条安静的住宅街道变成了深夜的热门场所——丝毫不顾及当地人的感受。
这不是讨厌酒吧,而是对附近居民的基本尊重。这家酒吧几乎没有表现出这种尊重。
