Have you looked at the menus on that site? They're exactly the same as the ones in H&B pubs here. Their branding is the same it's just a different trading name.

H&B Own market town taverns.

There’s a long interview process that takes place over coffee at all my favourite Island establishments. You pay. Natch.

I knew there would be a catch…

Looks a lot like an H&B menu to me

Exactly the same in the Archie, I think.

Thats what he said, Market Town Taverns was bought by H+B a good few years ago and it was a disastrous decision, most Pubs were not freehold and when bought was a money sink

Bohemian , which I frequent often , staff are really nice , friendly and efficient. Also the owner , unlike Costa's  , is really nice . Dont know which your daughter is but nothing but good to say about the staff in both there places. Usually  I'm in Strand street one though.  

The only problem you have with Bohemia, which I encountered again today, is the big fat smelly twat they allow to telework in the Victoria St outlet. He must put a lot of customers off. Just got a take out this afternoon as he was down there stinking the place out again and I couldn’t face sitting down within about 10 tables down wind. I’d have bought lunch but the thought of eating it amongst the stench was too much. They must be losing a fortune. It’s like eating next to a rotting corpse.

It’s disgusting isn’t it? And he’s in there for most of the day working off their free wifi. Must be costing the owners a fortune in lost turnover.

I thought we paid lots of money to Eagle Labs to keep these people away from the public.

Honestly it’s disgusting. I really like the place and I thought long and hard before I posted that but I went in there again at lunch and it ****ing stinks and the owners need to do something about it. It’s every day he’s in there 5-6 hours a day working on a laptop jumping off their wifi on Zoom. It must be costing them a fortune in lost trade.

Maybe. As I said it’s put me off several times recently and it’s a great place to go to and the staff are brilliant but honestly it’s like having a dead dog in your dining room every day.
