Jut realised I didn't explain why the bar got shut early on Saturday night (see stupid things people say to you thread)

One table of guests had so much booze they'd brought in with them, under their table that the staff got the hump.

To quote the functions manager "they had more booze under the table than we had behind the bar"

When someone asked why they couldn't have another drink the bar staff told them they could but they would have to get it from that table in the corner :teeth:

I wouldn't mind but they were only charging (Barnet) pub prices, which were probably cheaper than anywhere around there (Ascot)
