s**t happens

If you've been in hospitality, you'll know what it's like to feel pressured to work through illness and injury

We refuse to do that, even if it means taking the hard decision to not open and lose custom

We're a small place - our owner pulls pints, our manager mops the floor. There's no big business behind us, so when stuff doesn't go to plan, we feel it.

But our team always comes first, with guaranteed sick pay even if the doors aren't open

We're the first unionised pub in edinburgh, represented by . Check them out for some great resources and advice
