A notice in a Rochdale Samuel Smith pub banning mobile phones
A number of Samuel Smith’s pubs are banning mobile phones.
This notice, present behind the bar in one of the brewery’s pubs in the Rochdale borough, says that all phone calls must be taken outside and that mobiles are not to be used on the premises.
It is not known if the ban extends to all of Samuel Smith’s 300 nationwide establishments.
The chain is notorious for banning music and television back in 2004 across its establishments, later introducing a swearing ban in 2017.
The latest ban is understood to also cover laptops and tablets.
Samuel Smith’s Brewery has been contacted for comment.
