wotsits Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 The horse and groom on Blackstock Road has been bought and is going to be opening as a real ale pubt. I have this on very reliable source. It aims to be a family orientated pub doing food. I know the family who are going to be running it and they are lovely. Hoping to bring the community together and to have a nice relaxed place to enjoy. I don't know about everyone else but I think Gleadless valley needs something good like this. I am so excited.

saxon51 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Sounds good:) Three or four proper ones (Old Leg Over, Sneck Lifter, Hogoblin and maybe a Wychcraft), then up the hill for a swift 40 winks under a spreading beech in Rollestone Woods. To emerge, slightly murky, for round two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tradrockgirl Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Best of luck to them. Hard running a successful pub these days. Suggest they get some back rooms smartened up and use them for community bookings -saturday morning ballet classes, karate club, chess club, things like that - this brings people into the pub who don't just want to get bladdered and start a fight.

wotsits Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 I will put the suggestions forward. So these are good. I am sure things will develop anyway once things have settled in though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxy lady Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Good luck with the venture, but it will be a while before you can convince me that I want to park my car in that car park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
