Andy C Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Yes. Enterprise Inns have put a couple in as managers until someone takes the lease on. The pub is very basic at the moment but the management there have plans including food, live music and real ale, all of which are 'coming soon'. They opened last Sunday and the heating didn't work, so I guess the priority at the moment is fixing things like that! The managers have been in the trade for 22 years so they do have a bit of experience in turning closed pubs round, however they aren't local so need to know what people want round here.

bradwaysal Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I think this has re-opened hasn`t it? When I went past it had a scruffily written blackboard outside with the price of Foster`s et al scrawled on it. Anyone ventured in? excuse me but the bradwaydoes not sell fosters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynne 222 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Good Luck sal and sam hope you do well. nice to see great couple trying to make a go of a local pub in this financial state, what do people expect when a pub has been shut for a few months! having been in the trade myself i know how hard it is, customers don't realise the work you have to put in, they think that all you do is pull pints, if only!!.. let's give them a chance and not jump to easy conclusions, i've been in and the atmosphere although is quiet at the moment, only to be expected, is but welcoming and friendly, like a local should be. if you are a pubbie lets help them out and get the place back on it's feet, support your boozer and enjoy yourself,you will get back what you put in !!!

andrejuan Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Looks like I missed something here Has the Bradway been closed recently? I went in for a birthday party a short while ago and it seemed really busy and well run. I drive past most weeks and didn't notice it closed?

lynne 222 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 from what i can gather it's been closed for a good 6mths, feel sorry for the last landlord but these holding companies put people in without checking the backgrounds and expect miracles. good luck to sam and sal hope they do well, they deserve it ..

peteofbradwa Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 The Bradway replaced an older pub called The Miners arms many years ago. It is situated on an old turnpike road to Holmesfield. Some buildings nearby date to the building of the Bradway Tunnel which passes close by, but underground. The village had scythe makers residing there in the past and as usual the hamlet was ruined by road widening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forkbender Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 the last occupants had to close the pub on Oct 4th 2009. The economic recession had really started to bite and concessions on beer prices and rent from the pubco was not forthcoming........thet preferred for it to be shut and then open later with tenants...who get concessions. That's the business model I am afraid. Just heard that the Fleur in Totley has also closed due to the same sorts of issues with Enterprise Inns. Very sad and hard on the people who work their socks off trying to make a go of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
