I'l make a suggestion that it BEE a rather annoying pest on here who keeps asking stupid questions of which they know the answer anyway, or am I missing the point? As 4 bees question, why not go in & try it, then again you probably already have?

Think you could be right Pudwoppa, he's bad enough already, if he has a drunk he'd be a real head-the-ball

Re: the Calder
It is fine when it is quiet but when it is busy it isn't that good. A little bit chavvy.

Re: the Calder
Children are allowed in when dining, there's a family dining area, we use it regularly. It can get a bit noisy when there's a big footie match and there are a couple of miserable old men who hog a whole booth to themselves in the family area whilst studying the Racing Post over their half of mild but other than them no problem!
