4 beers on, a huge Sunday buffet, 16 ever changing extremely loud individuals and mega hot. Conk has changed. Very popular with many of the old customers returning after the change of managemt. And beer.

23 Sep 2023 (Philip Pirrip)

Early evening visit, my first since the Colin Aris days, never did visit during Four Candles times. Table service, big layout changes but the noise levels meant I could hardly hear the person next to me speaking. Needs urgent noise baffling measures.
