The Hook and Hatchet, Hucking

With Reference to to a previous comment. I am the Licensee of the Hook & Hatchet. I would just like to point out the errors in your message. Firstly I do not need to 'check out' the competition in Bearsted. I am well aware what other pubs are doing in the village. The Head Chef has been in place since July. So it is not the same chef as with the previous owner. The Chef was previously HC at Oak on the Green & Flaming Henrys. With regard to my 'handpainted' signs which you think smacks of desperation. What is wrong in advertising Live Music at the Pub at Notcutts Roundabout? As you well know the Hook & Hatchet is not the easiest pub to find, or indeed with the footfall of other pubs - I am trying to make a success of the pub and re build what previous occupiers destroyed - This is not desperation.
