The manager, who has worked in pubs for 38 years, stressed many regulars are elderly and live alone, so they rely on the pub for socialising and to be in contact with people.
“I’ve got people who come in as soon as we open, plonk themselves down at a table and spend the day calling across to each other,” she said.
She added: “Unfortunately, there’s a lot of people we won’t see when we open because we lost them along the way.”
Tina urged people to book their tables in advance and to drink responsibly.
The Bull will be open from 11am to 10.30pm during the week, and 11pm at weekends.
