Ay Up everyone,

As you probably know, I like a few beers and I particularly like my vape friendly local The Anglers Rest in Wombwell.

I received an email from Simone, the landlady on thursday and it made depressing reading. It ended;

Let me know if you can help at all then I can get on with the advertising. Need to get some bums on seats this year or I may not be here for Christmas!!

Simone

I went in for a few last night and it she told me how the Christmas and New Year trade was poor and that she will be struggling to keep the place running through the next few months because of that. I offered to help in anyway I could and apart from doing quizzes, having busking nights, themed nights, pub games etc., I am constructing a website for the pub.

My plea is for suggestions for the website - structure etc. and for everyone to google plus it or like it on facebook, so we get off to a flier. There is no content as yet as I'm waiting for Simone to send me a brief.

The url is http://anglersrest.webs.com


Thanks for your support

get some photos up on the website too, and flesh it out a bit.

you want the main page to have nice pictures of beer and food and pub fires, etc... stuff that'll get people saying 'ooh, that looks nice'

also have an upcoming events bit on the landing page.

Hi Rusty, the website could do with a quick map/directions section on how to best get there....

[Rusty]

Please have a look and let me know what you think so far

it's looking much improved though, nice work

the bit about ecigs seems a little ambiguous, if you didn't already know what an 'ecig' is. it's only a little thing i know...

[Rusty]

Cheers easystreet - I have tweaked it

[easystreet]

perfect

Hi Rusty, there doesn't seem to be much emphasis on the ales that are being served. Yes, there is a list of current ales on one of the other pages, but if the real ale that they sell is one of the main selling points maybe there needs to be more info on them, what will be available in future, perhaps somewhere for people to rate the ales etc. - just a thought from a lager drinker!

Cheers Sid - taken on board,,,I'll have a fiddle

[Oldie]

Didn't show up on a Google search Rusty (I actually tried it a few weeks back to see if they still did rooms - do they?) Oldie

[Rusty]

They don't at the moment Oldie as Simone's sister and nephew have them for the foreseeable future. The site will not show up on Google yet as I only submitted it a few days ago.

There are some reasonably priced places to stay close to though, such as Churchills Hotel and the Premier Inn.

Russ what about the pub being part of the local panel games on Tuesdays mate just enquire about it, there are quite a few pubs in the local area that take part in it, worth a shot mate it will fill the pub up a bit on a Tuesday

Might also be worth getting it added to Beer in the Evening as I can't find it on there at moment.
