Maidenhead pub, gives bottle of wine to customer after tough week.

the entrance to The Borough, Maidenhead. The outside around two large windows is painted a soft blue with "The Borough" in silver letters above the windows. To the left is a door which is partly open. You can see inside to some of the venue.

“The owner of The Borough gave me a bottle of wine when my hip replacement operation was cancelled at a day’s notice at the end of what had been a very difficult week.

I had only been a customer with them on two occasions at that point so hadn’t appreciated that Jacob, the owner of 3 restaurants locally, sees us as part of his family he invites into his home, which is his definition of hospitality.

He thought I would have missed that night’s French wine tasting which I had asked to take place the previous Sunday, before my scheduled operation on the 23 November.”

We love to hear about businesses showing kindness and this is such a wonderful example of that, well done Jacob for showing how it’s done!
