Happy Gala Day, can we just remind everyone of a few house rules before the chaos begins… 😅
No under 18s 🔞 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 door.
👆 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 wee 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. 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 today 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. 🚽😂
Wishing the gala court all the very best from all at The Keys.
