Next time if you could not go into so much detail/breakdown & just keep it concise...

I'm not one to wanna spend on coffee or brekky when I have everything I need at home but I thought, oh well, I'll have a look.
The place was a bit no frills and poky but filled to the brim with patrons, it was 9:11am as we got attended to and asked if we had a booking, we didn't but the woman running it said "I usually give people 15 minutes but I'm going to back my instincts and assign you a reserved table".
I watched how autonomously everyone worked, there was two women around 40 and about 10 others from about 16 to 22, everyone had a job to do, everyone was busy and everyone was smiling.
We ordered the Big Breakfast between us and a large coffee each, the breakfast came with a generous amount of bacon, a gourmet sausage, two poached eggs, tomato and 4 halves of very thickly sliced toast, $20 all up, I had to admit that it was worth the trip.
As we ate I noticed a bloke sitting on the next table had something that looked pretty appetizing so I asked him what it was, "The Doorstop" he answered.
So sure enough, come Sunday morning we rang through and booked a table so we could try the Doorstop, we opted for the mega coffee this time.
The Doorstop was bacon, cheese, fried egg and tomato on a foccachia x 2, it was more than enough for the two of us and with the mega cappucino's it came in at $21.
The menu looks awesome and we plan on trying everything on it.
The service was brilliant, a well organized place.
The atmosphere was abuzz for the time of day.
I wouldn't bother trying to go there on a weekend without a reservation, at least a dozen groups got turned away yesterday in the twenty minutes we were there.
All round 9.5 for all facets.

I'm in charge of booking an organisational dinner at an interstate event we are at in two weeks time.
We have 12 employees going including a vegan (booooooooo)
We are in Sydney and looking for somewhere nice to eat. More than just pub food but also not ridiculously priced either. Any suggestions taken.

Hurricanes Grill, Darling Harbour. Big lumps of char grilled meat attached to big structural animal bones. The vegan can eat a salad, or get ******.

That is interesting that GM Hotels are selling off as the Spirit Group is doing the same.
ALH on the other hand are still aquiring more pubs having recently purchased the Watermark and Archer.

ALH have done magnificent things at the Hendon, they've done things such as removing the "free drink" card ( that you paid $5 to get ) from the weekly punters club, turning that from 60 or 70 people per week to about 40, they've changed the footy tips rules to bring that down from 70 odd people to 40 odd, taken 2 months to do some painting over cracks renovations, it's really made the place come to life. When I left on Saturday at 2pm there was one bloke at the TAB screen and one of the bar staff eating his lunch in the front bar, place was pumping!

Although, Thursday night when I put my footy tips on the dickhead from the natural gas ads was in the pokie room, maybe they're going for celebrity endorsements?

At the end of the day that would all be the Venues Managers responsibility, like all places there are good ones and bad ones. Our previous VM was awesome, ask any regular, was always doing things to promote the pub and improve it. He's now at the Links so it will be interesting to see how that goes down there.
I probably get an unrealistic view of ALH as the state head office is a part of our complex so we're always on our toes.
Mind you I do visit the Findon occasionally and always have a good time when they have a good live band on.
I've never been to the Hendon or Finsbury.
You'd know big Paul at the Hendon wouldn't you?
He filled in as my gaming staff the first night I was a a duty manager at the Halfway.
PS Give the guy from the gas ads a clip behind the ear if you see him again, can't stand him or those ads.
