Even dart boards are absent and all beers, mixers and crisps are own label brands sold by pub owner Samuel Smiths
A pub in north Wales is struggling to sell as potential applicants are deterred by the "ridiculous" rules of the brewery that runs it. Music, tv and mobile phones are banned from the much-loved Sir Gawain and The Green Knight in Connah’s Quay, Flintshire.
Described as a former farmhouse “in a sea of modern housing”, even swearing is banned on the premises. Beers, mixers and crisps are own label brands sold by pub owner Samuel Smiths, while dart boards are also nowhere to be seen.
“We were in the pub a few years back... six of us, all family, on New Year’s Eve. A phone came out to take a quick photo and we were roasted for it. There wasn’t anyone else there. We left pretty much there and then... don’t want a pub with draconian rules.”
Your kind of pub, Pharvey??
