Re -decoration, new carpets and new furniture should have made a vast improvement. Heard new toilets as well. Did you? and did they sound like the old toilets or different?

DerbyTup Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 To be honest, I liked this place best when it was a 2 room basic country pub. With flagstone floors and no extensions. Where old men met to play dominoes and cards, to share a Woodbine or Gold Flake and to pass the time of day. Where families would come on a summer's evening and sit in the little garden out the back, with Dad's supping their bitter and Mum's drinking milk stout and the kids popping back and forth from making dams in the stream to suck Jusoda through a straw and snack on ready salted crisps, with little blue sachets of salt in them. I know - too much nostalgia eh? But I do remember the place when it was like that. And there was a Landlady with a really deep voice who always used to say "Thank You Tar" to everyone. And over the road the little shop selling ice-cream and sweets. It was part of the Eckington Riviera in those days - the old Costa Del Ford. I wish the new owners luck by the way. If they put some decent real ale on (and no, I don't mean the stuff from big brewers) I'll pay a visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy C Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Given the pub is owned by Thwaites, their beer is to be expected. I can think of worse beers..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the Gate at Troway, just a bit further up... no music, no fruit machines, just conversation ... apart from the smoking though!!
