GOOD NEWS  !!

We've decided on the colours ( though not without some ' healthy debate ' )  and the re decorating is starting tomorrow !! 

Over the next three Mondays we'll be changing the image of Smiths' ground floor dining room - so don't be surprised if you come in over the next couple of weeks and see a strange combination of styles as the decorators finish their work. We're doing it this way so we don't have to close for a few days in order to finish it all in one go...... so forgive us the mix of colours etc till it's done. Hopefully, you'll like the end result !

One downside: Because he has just one day for each section, the decorator wants to start at 7am  ...... and that means that someone has to be there to let him in. Now those of you who work 'normal' hours may be more than happy to get up at 6.30 in the morning, but in the restaurant world ( unless you're off to market every morning ) this is ridiculously early - in fact, we hadn't realised till now that there were two 7 o'clocks in a day !  Dave's drawn the short straw and is gearing up for the early start tomorrow.  But it'll be worth it in the long run  
( I know. It's easy for me to say that. I'm not the one getting up at 6.30am ........  )
