The Glasshouse, a Wetherspoons pub in Norwich, has updated its policy regarding meals taken by gulls. According to reporting from The Sun and the Daily Mail, the establishment will no longer provide refunds for items swiped by birds in its beer garden.
The decision follows reports of large birds swooping down to take food from customer plates while patrons were dining outdoors. Reports indicate that these birds have frequently taken items such as chips. While the pub had previously provided occasional refunds in such instances, management has now stated that they will no longer offer compensation for meals taken by gulls.
The change follows a period where the establishment would provide ad-hoc refunds to customers whose food was interfered with by local birds. The news reports indicate that patrons are now being informed of this policy regarding outdoor dining.
