Sam Smith pubs have a series of bizarre rules that aim to encourage conversation between punters.
These include banning mobile phones, tablets, laptops, televisions and jukeboxes. The pubs are also cash-only and don’t allow swearing.
But how strictly are the rules followed? To put them to the test, we decided to see what would happen if we attempted to break every single rule at a Sam Smith’s boozer in Leeds. We chose the Nags Head in Chapel Allerton and popped in on a wet and dreary Wednesday afternoon.
