Hello Old Dairy<br><br>I was in on Sunday. Excellent Sunday roast, and fine ale as always. *But* - please, please have a word about bar service. While your staff are friendly they are terrible – and I mean terrible – at serving the person who has been waiting the longest. I heard people moaning about it *two* tables other than my own. There appears to be a 'pretty girls first' policy, which I agree with in general but not in this specific instance.

Thanks for the heads up Arkady. Sunday was an excessively busy day and was a real struggle for all our staff.<div><br></div><div>I appreciate your point about people waiting and will discuss with all the guys here. </div><div><br></div><div>To be fair though we have more female staff working here now than male, so not quite sure you feel we serve pretty girls first ? </div><div><br></div><div>Also you say tables ? Do you mean customers or tables on the pub floor ?</div>

Al

So is New Years Eve £10 or £11

theolddairy

I reduced the price to £10 so it now includes the admin charge.<div><br></div><div>If you have already bought tickets you will get the £1 refunded</div><div><br></div>

Arkady

Customers at tables.  Two different tables with whinging conversations on going in addition to my own.  I do appreicate that you were busy though.<br>

theolddairy

Yes but there people shouldn't have been kept waiting for table service as I had 9 waiting staff working yesterday, so my sincere apologies.<div><br></div><div>Were you seated in the lounge ?</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>

Arkady

Ah, I’ve confused you. They were whinging about it at their tables, but I’m pretty sure they were complaining about service *at the bar*.<br><br>I’m sorry I even brought it up, this is boring even me.<br>

theolddairy

I am sure your very busy so I will leave you to it, and thank you for your feedback<div><br></div><div>Adam </div>

Adam, I don't know whether you want to comment on this point or not, but I'm always amazed that bars don't hire more short-term staff to cope with busy periods (such as Christmas) when it's highly predictable that those periods will be very busy.  I've frequently walked in to bars, seen a long queue at the bar, and walked back out, and seen many others doing the same thing.  Is it a question of how many people you can fit behind the bar to serve the drinks?

Adam, how dare you assume your female staff are hetrosexual. Don't you know your in Islington?

dorothy

If it's not pretty girls, it's pretty boys first.   It's particularly bad in the Stapleton.

I have always found the service in both the Dairy and Stapleton fast and friendly.<div><br></div><div>But then again, I am devilishly handsome.</div>

Old Dairy has overtaken the full back as my fave SGR pub, love it there, one of the few places I don't feel uncomfortable popping into solo to read the paper and have a pint. Sunday roasts are top notch, keep up the good work

Arkady

I thought we'd already agreed that you're *roguishly* handsome.<br>
