I think the law mentioned earlier is simply that a license holder can't be drunk on the premises they hold the license for, not all staff.

If it applied to all staff I'd be quitting my job at the moorings tomorrow.

Oh yeah, totally forgot about that.

Yeah thats exactly right, just the Licencee that can't drink there by law, for everyone else it's up to the in-house rules.

Not sure if this changes with the new laws in September mind you.

I really don't want this to turn into a moshulu/bassment bashing thread, but this blanket ban on staff drinking after hours or on their days off is pretty annoying. I'm not sure if the management realise that it's affected regulars with friends who work there as well as the staff?

There's been a few occasions when my mates and I have had to find somewhere else to go for a night out because a friend works in Bassment and isn't allowed in there or upstairs that night. Case in point, a few Sundays ago there were 6 of us who wanted food and a couple of pints and ended up going to a different bar because one of our group wasn't allowed in the Bassment and that easily lost the bar the best part of 100 on a quiet Sunday night. Surely if the staff want to spend time there when they aren't working this is a good sign?

I know that there's probably a reason for this, but it seems to me that if you don't trust your staff to socialise in their place of work then you probably shouldn't be employing them in the first place. To ask a memeber of staff to immediately vacate the premises after work and not allow them to even wait for a friend or partner to finish their drinks is a bit extreme if you ask me.

So, just really wondering about the reasoning behind it and hopefully bringing it to the attention of the management (whoever that may be these days).

For starters, i'm 99% percent certain you (or Sarah) asked me about this the other day when you were in, and i'm pretty certain i explained it then. It's quite a specific issue which only effects a handful of individuals at most, so i dont really think it warrants a whole thread on this forum.

Anyway, no worries and absolutely no harm explaining it again.

We have always been very welcoming to our staff over the years, and besides those who have been fired, we have never had a problem with the bar/PR staff coming in and putting their well earned cash back behind the bar. I also think we've been perhaps too forgiving on many occasions with staff coming in off-duty in all sorts of states.

We are under new management and have introduced the policy where, if staff want to come into the bar and drink at any point they have to ask permission of the management before doing so. This is still a completely reasonable system we feel and basically means we are aware of any off-duty staff on the premesis.

However, we recently had a couple of issues arise which we would like to exclude the staff from. So until these are recified, the blanket ban will remain. I would like to add we are hoping to ease off on the staff as soon as we can. I have been in meetings with the rest of the Management team and we are all aware that at least in the Bar, there is little harm in having off duty staff on the premesis. Especially when, like you say, they and their friends are willing to come in on days off and spend the cash. Alas I can't have one rule for some people and other for the rest so for the time being it will remain.

Hope that clears it up some.

Cheers,

Rass
