| Comment | In order to take beer outside at Inn Deep you have to step directly onto a public footpath (kelvin walkway) which is a core path and also part of a national cycle route, important for active travel etc. Theres no way to take a pint to the outdoor bit without stepping onto that path. Also on busy days it can get very busy very fast, and they dont have the staff to manage glass collection when folk are spilling all along the river. So Im led to believe it's to help them maintain their outdoor licence which has been threatened at various times due to issues with the path, crowds etc. They used to allow glass outside and also had seating directly by the river but had to lose them due to issues with drunk crowds blocking cyclists basically. |
