Guest makapaka Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Does anyone know what the plans are for the masons? It’s boarded up and looks like builders are in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilge Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintagetin82 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Towards the latter end it was just full of guys who’d just come in from work and full of brick dust or plaster, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffandy Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Always found this a strange little pub. I've never , ever taken to it for some reason. In the early noughties it used to get quite busy in the back room on Saturday nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesogt Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintagetin82 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Went in last night it’s more or less the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilge Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
