| much better now they have security, friendly staff and the atmosphere is more like it used to be with good music. Hope it maintains the new culture, still a bit pricey though hammers101 - 4 May 2008 11:46 |
| From an Avon and Somerset Police bulletin issued today: Taunton Deane Borough Council's Licensing Sub Committee heard and application for a review of the Firestone's licence on Tuesday, March 4. Police sought the review after problems with management at the venue and a glass related assault. The venue has now pledged to work closer with police and the licensing authority, train staff, employ registered door supervisors, improve CCTV and supply toughened or plastic glasses. Taunton Town Centre Team Neighbourhood PS Mike Griffiths welcomed the Firestone's pledge to improve its safety to those using the venue. He said: "Ourselves and Taunton Deane Borough Council are pleased that the licensee has pledged to improve their management of the venue and make it safer place for all concerned. "Training staff and having properly registered doorstaff is a vital part of managing a venue and ensuring it is safe and compliant with the law and licensing regulations." somertel - 5 Mar 2008 21:44 |
| Glad to see that they're trying to make new start and even a grumpy old man will be safe. I've only been in at lunchtime and find it a pleasant and relaxed place to go to. It seems to be a place to eat and drink rather than drink, and I don't think too much here for a CAMRA member to enthuse over. Staff still seem to be on another planet (or do they enjoy themselves every evening???) but nonetheless friendly and courteous, just disorganised!!! Old_Todger - 28 Feb 2008 21:09 |
| Actually, chopin, the old manager, Matt, chose to leave so that he could fulfil his travelling ambitions,of which he is now doing... Last I heard he is very happy doing this. And he sends his regards to The Firestone and all of us back in sunny Taunton! lisabean - 23 Feb 2008 19:23 |
