Review in response to the owner's comments regarding a poster displayed with details of SLAVES FOR FOR SALE & LET. It's not about erasing history but fully acknowledging and respecting it. If you cannot understand how this poster might be upsetting for certain groups of people, then you ought to learn empathy. Why have this on your wall with no context or education? Would you put up a poster of Auschwitz or anything that might offend the Jewish community? I really doubt it.
A lovely pub with really friendly staff and great food. We had the mushroom stroganoff and sirloin steak and they were both delicious. We were just disappointed that we found it so late in our stay!
Review based on owner's very rude response on framed advert -Slave for Sale/let.
There can not be any reasonable justification for such a being put up.
It call to question the character and mindset of the owners of this establishment.
It is one to definitely keep away from and that frame should be taken down
Curious to know what the historical basis is for displaying a framed reproduction poster on the premises advertising a slave auction? Since apparently it's "history" and can't be "erased". If there is a tie between the slave trade and this location then be up front about it: put up a plaque explaining the context, and tell the punters all about it. Otherwise you're just a ghoul* with bad taste and poor judgement.
(*giving you the benefit of the doubt here...)
I agree with the comments about the slave poster. I noticed it when eating there a year ago and thought it insensitive. The food was poor too. I can cook better myself and I don't even really enjoy being in the kitchen!
