If you are going to charge for parking when not buying anything, then you MUST make this obvious when parking the car and also inside the pub. This is NOT the case at this pub.
I don't object to parking charges for non customers, you MUST make this clear.

My son had travelled all the way from Coventry to spend a few days with me (his dad) we called in to the pub for a quick drink before dinner. At no point did any of the staff make us aware of any parking restrictions or regulations and they knew that we were driving as I told the staff that. When my son got home to Coventry he has received in the post a parking fine for £100 and if he pays it within ten days it will be reduced to £60. We were there for just over an hour. I think this is absolutely disgusting as there are no signs anywhere to warn you about this parking fine, and nor did any of the staff tell us. I definitely won’t be back and I will be reporting this issue to my local council

Hi if you send me a photo of the parking fine I can cancel that for you all you had to do was give us a message or call and it would have been sorted instead of going on social media.
You can either PM the pub or call thank you.

Stopped off at this pub in winsford prior to going to a show at knights grange. Parked in the pub car park. Had a beer with the family to only receive a parking fine of £60 3 weeks later!!! Didn’t see any signs but didn’t look or expect there to be any at a pub to be fair, and certainly wasn’t told by the staff of a parking fee. Very expensive pint of Guinness. Parking eye is the enforcing company apparently so please be aware

Jeez what can I say. Order the crispy chicken burger. Don't upgrade to the sweet potato chip as the potato chips were perfect on my visit. Perfectly chipped and perfectly cooked and had the perfect crisp. So much so I ate them all first before tucking into my burger. Now the burger. Knock me sideways. Perfection.
