Re: Opening Hours whinge

[Tris39]

Pubs should absoloutely be checking and updating the info about their pubs as Will says, however many seem incapable of even updating their own websites so I'm not holding my breath.

Yup. Agree entirely. Some places are incredibly lax about updating their opening times, some still claiming that they are closing seven days a week at 22.00! I think that sometimes they assume that visitors have popped in from around the corner, not appreciating that some people make a real effort to visit. I wouldn't blame What?ub though; perhaps pubs should have the brains to update What?ub - if I can do it, so can they.
Then again, perhaps they've closed due to immediate unforeseen circumstances.

Sometimes getting What?ub updated is easier said than done. More than once I've got the automated reply but no further progress made.

I had a similar experience to Will when I tried to visit the The Bald Buzzard Ale House in Leighton Buzzard, only to find a sign on the door with different times than had been advertised online. I had to go all the way back to Hemel Hempstead to kill some time and go back to Leighton Buzzard, just to tick this one pub.

The owner wasn't having any of it when I asked him about the opening times and insisted that everything was correct online.

I don't have a particular issue with it, there's at least some context. I've posted similar myself.
