A warm welcome awaits you from Sarah, Steve and the team.

Does anyone know what the plans are for the masons?

 

It’s boarded up and looks like builders are in there.

No idea but I was always surprised that it was still open and occasionally visited to see if it had improved. Last time I went it had got worse. I went in on a Saturday night last September. There were about 5 people in the little room, no-one in the back room, TV on a shelf in the corner blaring out some talent show tripe that no-one was watching, no cask ales, no bitter of any sort not even smoothflow, no bottles worth drinking, merely a choice of 4 different lagers. Out of sympathy I had a half of gassy lager and left.

 

It's a pity as I've had decent beer in there before and always generally liked the quirky old-school charm of the pub. Maybe it'll reopen as something better.

Has a lease sign up, and as mentioned loads of trades have been in there. Looks like it must be getting a decent enough refurb.

 

Went in last year when i first moved to the area, it was almost comically stereotypical. Dated, old toilets, generally run down, regulars post work crowd only. To be fair it has plenty of competition in a worse position, and I can't see anyone rushing to take it on.

Went in last night it’s more or less the same.

 

I looked in the open door as I passed in a car yesterday and the glimpse I got suggested the same.

 

New double glazing isn't really enough to pull in the customers.
