mike142sl Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 So, after all the speculation last year the place is now empty and desolate. Does anyone know who the new owner/s are and what their plans are for the place. It takes a prominant position in Broomhill and it's hard to think of it as anything else except at Pub, but we are told it won't be? Perhaps a Hotel again?, or how about a new location for the local Library? they wanted to move a few years ago so you never know. What are your theories?

Miss_C Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I heard maybe a restaurant with flats above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike142sl Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 Good thought, There are plenty of take aways but no restaurants so that might be a good feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Another pub apparently... Or, going back to something I heard around a year ago, possibly a steak house.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike142sl Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 Even better, I still miss the Beafeater up at Crosspool (Kings Head) which was demolished for a block of flats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just a conversation I had with another bar owner before Goldenfleece took it on. They were considering turning it into a steak house, dont know if they know that the lease is up for grabs again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the best of my knowledge the building may be available to rent from the current owners, Thornsett Properties... there is a notice in the window and a phone number for 'all enquiries'. However, anyone who wants to re-open this as a pub please note, the cellar has been stripped bare, there is NOTHING left to operate as a pub business whatsoever. Anyone wanting to run this as a pub would need to make a huge investment in complete coolers, dispensing systems, bar fittings, the full monty, and this is a substantial investment. Kitchen, bar, rooms, cellar, office, etc has been cleared of every single fitting that could be taken...it really is just a shell now. We even took the light bulbs and all the light fittings as there were ours! I perhaps see this as a restaurant, but this is pure speculation and as stated, requires a massive investment. Not for me, and not in Broomhill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Six Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I think Broomhill could do with a massage parlour, or a private club like Le Chambre. This building would be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
