bigsexydoug Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 we went in on xmas eve after the "do" we went to closed the bar at 5 past 11, and we couldnt have hoped for a better night, the pub was still quiet i suppose but the landlady was great fun, with her attitude she will give the pub a real change, its the same landlady from the sportsman at stannington, that was on its last legs and she compltley reversed that, i dont know if she will do it with the railway due to its location / size and competition but i thoroughly enjoyed my night there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoGo_dancer Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 does anyone know if there's a function room? Been looking for a small pub room in that area for a party in May next year. Ta! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orphee Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 There is a function room beyond the back room, which the landlady intends to open at some stage. Best talk to her about when though - I think it depends on how business develops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orphee Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 I went in for a pint, drunk it and went back to the bar for a re-fill. The land lady was only seving 1 person and I stood next to him. As she was at the till somebody else came to the bar and she turned round from the till and served him instead. I walked out and went across to the New Bridge Inn in disgust. If she wants to retain customers she should serve people in turn! Fair enough if she was busy but it was obvious I was next. Shan't go there again. Aren't you jumping to conclusions a bit over one event? Everyone makes mistakes. Give it another go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orphee Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Just realised in my original post I meant to say 'Thwaites' beers, not 'Sam Smiths'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discodown Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I've been using it fairly regularly since it re-opened and recommend it. No fruit machines, no darts, no TV's, no kids, cheap beer, eccentric landlady, good atmosphere, plans for live music. Whats not to like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retired Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Aren't you jumping to conclusions a bit over one event? Everyone makes mistakes. Give it another go. Well I took it personally as it was hard not to realise I was next! I have always walked out of pubs when I get cheated out of my turn at the bar, have ever since I was old enough to drink. It's not only the staff I am annoyed at but the selfish customer who let's him/herself get served before their turn. I have in the past got barred for showing off and it's usually the cheat of a customer that gets the brunt of it. Getting too old now to be getting into fights so I leave. If I stay I am fuming so best go somewhere else. On a positive note I liked the pub and the beer which was cheap enough. Parking is easy and there's a bus stop virtually outside. Having 4 sections around the bar can give a bit of privacy if wanted. Hope it doesn't attract anoraks:hihi: Might give it another go but not until the summer, I don't forgive that easy. P.s, there was a telly on the night I went in but it wasn't loud. Would be nice to see some live music there. My local is the Gardeners Rest.
