I will say no more.

Joking aside, I don't think the place really moved with the times to be honest.

It's funny you saying that because when I went to the food festival I stopped on the way back to the car in the bar in the vaults for a drink.
I was talking to a couple who I bumped into in there and he was a chef at Smithill's and he was saying exactly that, right up till it closing it was still busy at weekends but they didn't do anything other than food.
If like the last drop they'd opened bars and put seating outside then people would have gone there for drinks or stayed after they'd eaten for drinks.
I used to work there cleaning pots when I was about 13 and it was a cracking place and a real loss.

Did you live near by, I knew that area very well back in the 60's.

No Bromley Cross I used to cycle up, and I'd like you to know it was the mid 70s when I worked there.
I'm old but not that old
