🚗 POLITE NOTICE REGARDING OUR CAR PARK 🚗
We always try our best to accommodate our lovely customers, and if you’ve popped in for a drink or something to eat and fancy a little wander around Bawtry afterwards, we’re more than happy for you to leave your car with us for a short while. ❤️
However, whilst we appreciate that we have a lovely, spacious car park, it seems that some people have started treating it as a public car park, which it most certainly isn’t.
Unfortunately, we’ve experienced a few difficulties recently where vehicles have been left in our car park for extended periods, meaning we’ve been unable to accommodate our own paying customers.
Later today, we have two campervans and a large caravan arriving to stay with us for the weekend, which will naturally take up a considerable amount of space.
Whilst we’re always happy to be accommodating where we can, we really shouldn’t have to factor in vehicles being parked here willy-nilly by people who aren’t actually visiting our establishment.
We wouldn’t dream of parking on your driveway at home and heading off into town for the day, so we kindly ask that you show us the same consideration. 😊
We don’t want to come across as unwelcoming, because that’s certainly not who we are, but our car park is there first and foremost for the customers who support our business.
Thank you for your understanding and for being mindful of others.
The Ship Inn ❤️
