Andy C Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 DO the EPBs qualify as music? Saw them at SiBA earlier this year. Complete tosh. Fortunately Heeley is well down on my visit list. Technically music but primarily a comedy act really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DnAuK Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Technically music but primarily a comedy act really. Hmmm... the kind of comedy that surely went out with the Barron Knights in the 70s? No thanks. It is true what they say about Yorkshire sometimes - people here really don't change much do they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, the EPB's are only really a celeb name attached to the pub, it is an experienced pub manager actually running the place for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreb48 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Popped in tonight after work. They've done a really good job on it. Got a nice cold wheat beer on. Plenty sat outside in the evening sun. Think we'll be splitting ourselves between there and the Sheaf like plenty of others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry docks Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Went in on Sunday afternoon. Like what they've done with the interior - really smart. It was fairly busy and took ages to get served - just one bloke on behind the bar. Beer garden was full of kids. Mercifully no sign of the EPBs. Found the choice of ale somewhat underwhelming. Couple from Bradfield, couple from Blue Bee, the ubiquitous and bland Doom Bar and a slightly more interesting guest or two - Tring Brewery I think. If you want something on keg prepare to be disappointed. Stones cold (really), Coors Light, Kozel and Veddet. The latter of these was a not unreasonable £3.50 a pint. I think I'll stick to the Sheaf.

A very bitter post !! In its first week too !! i welcome the addition to the Heeley real ale pub trail, and again welcome the fact the fewer keg beers introduced the better:) I was once a big regular down the Sheaf view, a great pub, but service and queues got me down, so i use the White Lion now. A bit more expensive but keeps the numptys away and no queues...the addition of he Brothers Arms as a real ale pub , will now change my habits, a three way quality pub crawl.

MuteWitness Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Went in at the weekend, decor was smart reminded me of a Thornbridge pub and offers something different to the neighbors the Sheaf and White Lion. Did find the draft lagers a bit of a letdown to the neighboring pubs but they all taste the same apparently and it would not put me off visiting and this is probably something that will change unless they are tied to coors light and kozel. Noticed the sign said live music, will that be in the main part of the pub downstairs ?or do they have another room ? it was so busy I didn't get the chance to move around much. Like POUNDSWORTH said it is nice to have another pub makes a Heeley triangle of pubs and each one offers something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jemson Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Me `n` my blogmate have been in every day since it opened. (No plans to go today tho!). As said, a decent addition and it`s interesting that they appear to be undercutting some Sheaf prices. Worth a look! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saffy Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I believe they want to bring back the traditional pub ... Eee, pickled onions, pork pies and hendo's ... aswell as that there good beer stuff. Don't know what some of you are moaning at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
