Regional Manager's Thoughts
A good-sized site with the benefit of a basement/function room as well. Great proximity to the nearby tube stations, which makes getting to and from the venue easy. A well-known site in the area, with the potential for sales growth on the beer side. If you enjoy music and dancing with a cocktail in your hand, this could well be the venue for you!
