点评:At the beginning of the month we explored using The Torrisholme Taps as the venue for a discrete Wake or Celebration of Life event. Brian could not have made the arrangements simpler or clearer - we were looking for an informal gathering where attendees could share memories, tell tales and help each other move forward in a respectful but open manner. The suggested catering options fully met our requirements; the soup was generous in quantity and the quality drew many favourable expressions. The quality of the finger food buffet met and exceeded our expectations. The beer was cold and the coffee/tea was hot just as required. Brian and his colleague made us all feel welcome and strived to ensure that all were looked after. Arriving a little uncertain as to what to expect, we left convinced that our event could not have been better hosted elsewhere. We had planned for 25-40 persons and although ending up at the lower end, the place felt homely and quite up to the task.
Parking in Torrisholme has changed markedly over the years and after dropping off outside those whose mobility is not what it was, vehicles can be considerately left within 100 yards or so. A quick recce pays dividends and helps the neighbours.
翻译:月初,我们考虑将托里肖姆酒吧 (The Torrisholme Taps) 作为举办小型追思会或生命礼赞活动的场所。布莱恩 (Brian) 的安排非常便捷清晰——我们想要的是一个非正式的聚会,让来宾们能够分享回忆、讲述故事,并在尊重而又坦诚的氛围中互相扶持,共同向前迈进。他提供的餐饮选择完全符合我们的要求;汤的分量很足,味道也广受好评。自助餐的精致小食更是超出预期。啤酒冰爽,咖啡和茶也恰到好处地热乎乎的。布莱恩和他的同事让我们感到宾至如归,并尽力确保每个人都得到周到的照顾。起初我们对场地还有些忐忑,但离开时我们确信,我们的活动不可能在其他任何地方举办得更好了。我们原计划邀请 25-40 人,虽然最终人数略少,但这里温馨舒适,完全能够满足我们的需求。
托里肖姆的停车情况近年来发生了显著变化。对于那些行动不便的乘客,在他们下车后,车辆可以停放在离家约100码(约91米)的地方。提前快速勘察一下路线,既方便又有利于邻居。
