🍻 GALA DAY HOUSE RULES 🍻
As Gala Day approaches tomorrow, we just wanted to remind everyone of a few house rules before the chaos begins… 😅
🥤 Plastic cups only.
No, you can’t have a glass. Yes, we know you think it tastes different. No, we’re still not giving you one. Same rules every year! 😂
🔞 Under 18s must leave the premises by 8pm.
No, we don’t care if you’re “basically 18”, “18 next week” or “all your pals are staying”. The answer is still no. 😅
🍺 Be nice to our bar staff.
They’re working flat out all day. Rude behaviour = you’ll be introduced to the exit.
👆 No finger clicking, whistling or shouting “OI!” at the staff.
We have names… and functioning ears. It won’t get you served any quicker… in fact, you may suddenly become invisible. 👀😂
📝 Please know your order before you get to the bar.
Don’t wait until you’re standing at the bar to start a debate about who’s having what. It keeps the queue moving and gets everyone served quicker! 🤣
💷 Cash is king!
If you can pay by cash, we’d really appreciate it. The card machine works hard on Gala Day too… but unlike the bar staff, it occasionally has a wee meltdown! 😂
🏠 Please bear with us.
This is our busiest day of the year and we’re only a small village pub. We’d love another four bar staff… but we’d have to stack them on top of each other. 😂
🚫 No bringing your own alcohol onto the premises.
Yes, this includes the decking. Leave it at home. If it’s brought onto our premises, it’ll be heading straight down the drain. 🍺➡️🚰
🚭 Drugs are for mugs.
The only lines we want to see tomorrow are the ones at the bar! 🍻 Save your money for pints instead. Anyone caught taking or dealing drugs on our premises will be removed immediately and barred. No exceptions.
🍻 If you’ve had enough, you’ve had enough.
Our staff have the final say. If you’re refused service, arguing with us won’t magically make you look any more sober. (We’ve heard every excuse before… “I’ve only had two!” 😂)
🚻 Please respect the toilets.
They’re toilets, not a nightclub, smoking shelter or somewhere to hold a committee meeting. Please leave them in a decent state for the next person. 🚽😂
☀️ It’s going to be a hot one.
Drink plenty of water, wear suncream and pace yourselves. Gala Day is a marathon, not a sprint! 💦☀️
🥊 And finally… let’s have a Gala Day with no fighting.
If you feel like throwing punches… throw some shapes on the dance floor instead. 💃🕺 otherwise, we’ll be throwing you out!
❤️ Most importantly, have an amazing Gala Day, look after each other, look after our staff, and let’s make it one to remember… not one you have to apologise for on Sunday morning! 😂🍻🎉
See you all tomorrow! 🍻 pub opens at 12.30pm 🩷
