"Yes the police were called to deal with 'guests' at a 30th birthday party, yes we rang last orders at 11pm as we do each Saturday, yes there were 'guests' who felt it appropriate to be abusive to staff, throw a bottle at the landlord and smash glasses in and around the pub when they couldn't get any more alcohol.

"Do we feel it warranted a 999 call when there's a disturbance and these delightful people refuse to leave? I would say so. Wasting police time? They definitely don't think so!

"Thank you for the continued support from our friends and regulars and in regards to leaving?...watch this space."
