As a resident of the Garden Ladder - I LIKE the over 21's only policy. It makes for a place where you can go on a Sunday, (or any day for that matter) have the carvery, read the papers, chinwag with the locals - without pissed and leary 18yr olds and bawling kids ruining the whole experience. Thanks Jo for the thumbs up - you forgot to mention that the beer, service and atmosphere are much better than the Salisbury's. ;)

Used to drink in the Salisbury myself - but got sick of being served by dimwits who move slower than my Gran (incidently she'll be 100 in November) and who come bearing Litovel
- the Garden Ladder's sign by the bar says it all "Be nice - or leave"

Many of the local residents have 'bawling kids' which would jump at the chance to eat a carvery locally. A lost opportunity in my opinion especially as it never seems busy when I look in on a Sunday. I have had the veggie option on a couple of occasions (when partner and kids are up north or something) and it's great and would definitely make use of it as a family.
Not all under 21's and kids are misbehaving individuals, a 12-3pm window would be great, then all you lazy over 21, kid free, drunks can enjoy the rest of the day : )
I love the GL and go quite often, but not as often as I am allowed. But that's the policy I suppose, just think it's a shame.

then go to the Salisbury - simple market economics really - the Ladder caters for an older crowd ;)

if you had to spend 90% of your life with kids - you would understand the need to have a break from them - if that makes me intolerant then I am and feel no need to apologise for it

Fine, but three hours a week at a Sunday Carvery isn't exactly pushing you out, is it?
35-40 hours a week isn't 90% of your weekly life, the standard of teaching must have declined

The Garden Ladder does just fine without family business - and if yuou think teachers work only 35-40 hours a week you;re delusional. You obviously have an issue with teachers - get over it.

Richyrich sounds just like a grumpy teacher I used know (no, not me) who always insisted on keeping the staffroom door locked during lunchtime. Can this be the same Sir Richard Rich who as a young fellow was advised by that man for all seasons Thomas More (a Wood Green supply teacher) to become a teacher. Not the only poor advice More ever gave the great and not so good, of course.
Despite Birdy's comment below, OAE does food

No I am not he - but I am a teacher and DO like staffroom doors closed (not "locked") @ lunchtimes - I was advised to become a teacher by Dennis Potter on a train to Cardiff and have never looked back. Plz get ur facts right b4 slandering
