It's only open on Friday evenings and most of Saturday. And even then you have to check the socials for last minute changes.

Because as any business desperate to attract custom knows, limiting your opening hours and making even those limited hours uncertain is the way to profitability and success.

I think it's called the Stafford Way

Yes, of course.

Walking past today I noticed a Birthday sign in the window that suggests it's been open a year now.
I'd have been in during the last twelve months if they would have accepted my money.

To be fair, where I am it has been November for the last two days - we didn't get much above 11C today, and it has been raining for 24 hours.

Tonight, it was dark almost an hour earlier than it was three days ago.

Hard to believe that last Friday, I thought I might not survive the heat riding the bike back from eight miles away...

It was named 'The Floodgate ' due to local authority permissions insisting flood protection provisions were installed....

To be fair their prices have come down significantly since the new owners took over and the new decor is far better

So how does it now compare to the two "Devil's" venues across the road ?
And does it now welcome customers paying with proper money ?
