One person commented: "Give your staff the day off. Let them be with family and friends. Money shouldn't matter." Tom Holodynsky, the operations manager at pub owner, the Great Northern Group, said: "We have had one or two negative comments again asking 'why?' and 'put your staff first' but we stand by our comments last year. We want our community pub to be a safe and welcoming haven for those who seek company and to avoid loneliness on Christmas Day as well as to share the big day with our beloved regulars.
"Last year it was was nice and steady with a mix of familiar faces and new ones who we're happy to say a year later have become more familiar. And as for the staff, more of them have asked to work than we actually require!"
