Kindest Landord and Landlady to strangers!
The Cricketers, Aylestone, Leicester的点评
点评:Extremely hospitable landlord Ben and landlady Sheldon! We visited the Cricketers for a drink prior to the Tom Jones concert, so it was very busy indeed. However landlord Ben served us with a friendly smile and still made the effort to make pleasant chit chat with myself and my husband.
After walking out of the concert because of the ridiculous queue time of over an hour to get a drink, we decided to return to the Cricketers for a drink to decide on our next steps. Landlord Ben served us again, and we shared how disappointed we were about the queueing at the concert. Ben then suggested something that has to be the most random act of kindest that has ever been presented to us by a virtual stranger! Ben told us that he had a function room upstairs that has a balcony overlooking the concert. That there were people already up there that he had sold tickets to, and we could go up to join them! We were absolutely gobsmacked that someone could do something so kind that they really didn't need to! We of course offered to pay but Ben would not hear of it. He asked the lovely landlady Sheldon to take us upstairs, where she took the time to introduce us to everyone, most of whom were Cricketers regulars, and who then welcomed us with open arms.
Never have we received such a warm welcome from pub regulars! We were so overwhelmed by what Ben and Sheldon did for us, and we really can't thank them or the Cricketers regulars enough for what turned out to be a truly memorable experience. If you receive half the welcome from everyone that we did at The Cricketers, you will most certainly be returning!
PS. Shout out to Jo who took one for the team that evening by working the bar upstairs,even though she had bought a ticket herself to watch the concert from the balcony!

由于排了一个多小时的队才能喝饮料,走出音乐会后,我们决定返回板球队喝一杯,然后决定下一步的行动。房东Ben再次为我们服务,我们分享了我们对音乐会排队的失望之情。然后本提出了一些建议,这一定是虚拟陌生人向我们呈现过的最随意、最善意的行为!本告诉我们,他在楼上有一个多功能厅,有一个可以俯瞰音乐会的阳台。那里已经有人被他卖票了,我们可以上去加入他们!我们绝对惊讶于有人可以做一些他们实际上不需要做的事情!我们当然愿意付钱,但本不肯听。他请可爱的女房东谢尔顿带我们上楼,在那里她花时间向每个人介绍我们,其中大多数是板球队的常客,然后他们张开双臂欢迎我们。
我们从未受到酒吧常客如此热烈的欢迎!本和谢尔顿为我们所做的一切让我们不知所措,我们真的非常感谢他们或板球队的常客,因为这是一次真正难忘的经历。如果您受到我们在板球运动员队一半的欢迎,那么您肯定会回来!
附言。向乔大喊一声,她那天晚上在楼上的酒吧工作,为团队拿了一张,尽管她自己买了一张在阳台上观看音乐会的门票!
