Managers at a village pub in Lowdham have issued an apology to customers, saying they're unable to honour any Mother's Day bookings. Staff at the World's End in Plough Lane, off the A6097 Epperstone Bypass, said an issue had arisen with the pub having been recently taken over, meaning staff were unable to honour any of the previous bookings made for Sunday, March 19.
Licensee James Kemp, who took over the pub three weeks ago, claimed details about pre-bookings made before his arrival, and contact details for those customers, hadn't been passed on to him.
And at the same time he said the brewery associated with the pub had closed the kitchen for improvements, with Mr Kemp's team unable to cook any food. So he was forced to issue a statement via the pub's Facebook page informing customers they wouldn't be able to dine at the venue.
The statement read: "We simply cannot cook in the kitchen and this isn't great for anyone. We are so sorry for any inconvenience caused and that you are having to be made aware via Facebook but unfortunately as we don't know who you are this seems to be the best and quickest solution.
"Food will start up again very soon when we have the kitchen up to scratch. So sorry Mothers/Mums."
"We as the new licensees didn't take any bookings at all but instead had the horrible job of issuing these statements," added Mr Kemp.
