I think Jim is a very nice guy but he has been allowing in some of the more unsavoury characters in the area. I have never seen some much drunkeness in the JF before and some of the language leaves a lot to be desired. People who are quite obviuosly very drunk continue to be served. It is not all about profit.

The pub has been pretty good since Jim took over, he seems a very likeable person but I was in the pub last night and was appalled. There were people who were too drunk to stand up, women being sick etc. I really thought that there was going to be some trouble, so I left early. Jim must get control of this very quickly or it could get out of hand with every PNG in the area using the pub.

I have been a regular in this pub for many years and I have become increasingly concerned about the loss of many of the usual regulars since Dave and Sue left. I know Dave was not everyones "cup of tea" but I must say he did know how to run an efficient pub including how to treat and pay good staff.
After a couple of temporary managers, Richard and Jayne are now in charge and things do not seem to be improving although they are trying new ideas. I think the main problem has been the loss of popular bar staff which has upset a lot of people who used the pub on a regular basis. I think the lesson to be learned by breweries and incoming managers alike is that do not make too many changes too quickly. Other concerns I have is that the beer is not always up to scratch and is quite expensive and Richard is not always as welcomng as he could be. There is also now a problem with "favourites". You must try and treat customers equally. I don`t know how you can get the old regulars to return maybe try to get some of the old staff back. The regulars are the life blood of this pub and need to be encouraged.
