Our Customers

Our customers are the most important part of our operation.

One can have the finest pub in the land, with the best products and finest food around but without the customers its all a waste of time. Our ideal customer is one who enjoys coming to The Triton, likes to be made welcome, enjoys a few leisurely drinks, and some nice food - whether it be a small snack, a bar meal or a full a la carte dining experience in our restaurant. They chat with our staff, with other customers, and go home happy and content.

In practice, many of our customers fit that bill very snugly. Some are unhappy when they arrive, but very few actually leave The Triton feeling unhappy. (If you do leave unhappy, please do let us know why, so we can try and make amends and make you happy again. Please?). Though in reality, not many of our customers leave the Triton feeling hungry - our food portions are legendary.

A few of our customers live in the village and probably half of our customers live in the nearby villages of Elloughton, Brough, Welton, Swanland, South Cave, Newport, Broomfleet, Hotham, Ellerker, Gilberdyke, Melton, Kirk Ella, etc. The remainder travel quite some distance. Since we reopened The Triton in 2007 we know of those who have come from Canada, Australia, Sweden, India, Brazil and California. New Zealand, Egypt, Lithuania, Japan, Fiji, Ecuador and Liechtenstein. Not forgetting some Manx folks, Spaniards, Mexicans and Turks. They are all ages too - we have a 99 year old among our regulars but the youngest include Miss Giselle Constantine who has been a regular since she was three days old, back in May 2007.

And there are those for whom every day is Valentine's Day - like Gerard and Joyce Evison of Brantingham seen below holding hands as usual !

Bev Dawson of *Dizzys hair stylists in
Cottingham organised a surprise 40th birthday party for her husband Adrian in The Triton Ballroom in January.

Almost eighty of Adrian's friends and relatives hid behind the curtains ready to ambush him as he walked in, expecting a quiet meal with Bev and two friends.

Adrian was so surprised he bought a round of drinks and then took to the dance floor to show everyone how a forty year old can dance, the Dizzy way.

(Well, we THINK it was dancing - what do YOU think?)

* Dizzy's - its on King Street.

Some of the Brantingham villagers gathered round the Triton baby grand, being played very ably by Mollie in Mauve of Melton (better known to many generations of South Hunsley High School pupils as Mrs Gerrard) after their Festival of Christmas Carols in December - they couldn't stop singing when they got to The Triton, so carried right on with a few numbers from South Pacific and My Fair Lady.

His Last Lunch ?

Some leaders and their followers may have the Last Supper, but Triton regular Steve Burton decided it would be the Last Lunch when he and his supporters gathered at The Triton on Whit Saturday for a lunch immediately before his wedding at the Church of All Saints in Brantingham. Don't the guys look terrific in those patterned white waistcoast? (Not all our customers look this smart !)

We often have SAX APPEAL play here - sometimes they rock, and sometimes they are mellow, with background jazz standards but always they are superb musicians. Here is Jake, being mesmerised by Caz's dreamy vocals - we know they are dreamy as it looks like she has fallen asleep! They are also known as "Sexy and Saxy" - and we are sure you can tell which one is which!
