sierraman Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 The signage outside doesn't look like Wetherspoons, but has the look of one of those 'pub chains'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ousetunes Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 It's another vacant pub owned by pub- and life-wrecking outfit Enterprise Inns. No doubt some sucker will be enticed to part with their life savings, starry eyed at the prospect of 'running their own pub'. Before the chain is broken by EI's impossible demands and the place becomes vacant once more. Even the Black Swan on Peasholme Green in York has closed - guess who owns that building?

sierraman Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Take the pub next to Crystal Peaks bus station .... 8 people in the place at 9pm on a Saturday night. Do Enterprise own that? If it was my business I'd be out of my head with worry? Is it just the prices and smoking ban that have killed it or is it the sort of clientele frequenting the pubs?

Strix Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 The one at CP is weird It should be part of the peaks but it doesn't seem to be easily accessible It should be a nice place to have a lunch whilst out shopping, or to stop for a coffee or drink before catching the bus home, but it just doesn't put itself forward that way We used it a couple of times to pore over house details we'd picked up in the estate agents whilst house hunting, but it was weird 7 years ago too The Old Harrow was our local in '93 when we lived practically next door. It was a great traditional pub with a good reputation in those days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evenings just seems to consist of the landlord dressed in jeans and a football shirt stood with a few of his mates outside the front door smoking? The Milestone used to be a good pub, but a succession of poor managers has rendered it to what it is today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
