Flanker7 Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 The Hardy Pick / Hungry Horse An interesting marketing point. The Hungry Horse is prominent on the exterior of the building and its the name most people remember. Just like Wetherspoons who knows the name of them all? I guess many of us do with a pause for thought but as Wetherspoons they instantly recognisable, nationwide. However, its good for the pedants to get all ANGRY about. Note their names. IMO so long as we ken what we're talkin at spellin an' gramma and pinprick accuracy is not obligatory; kno wot I's on aboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jemson Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I reckon it should be a good thing all in all. Be interesting if it stays free of vandalism as some of the youths hanging around there do cause a lot of hassle. The car park could be a great spot for playing on quad bikes.....

jamesogt Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 . HERE COMES THE NEXT TESCO'S MINI MART :rant: Maybe check the business pages, Tesco are closing stores not opening them. Re the HH and naming pubs it is exactly as Wetherspoons did. They started off with a basic formula and called all the pubs Wetherspoons. After a few years they realised this was having a negative marketing effect on their business model so switched to an umbrella name of Wetherspoons and had individual generally localised names. This also coincided with them moving away from a generic formula of carpets and layout etc. You will find most 'spoons are now quite different in their design.

Lockjaw Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Living a fair way up Carterknowle Road, I rarely go to the Broadfield because it's just a teensy bit beyond my be-bothered-to-walk-to range and, if I drive, there are other places I'd rather go to. This thread, however, is making me sorely tempted to have a wander down some day soon with my kids (9 and 6. Nutters), possibly calling in at that cool looking sweet shop next door for some quality e-number input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know when you're going, I'll join you with my six for cokes all round, and we can blow the froth of a couple in our hipsters while our bearded ladies read the menus.

Lockjaw Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Cant remember the last new build pub this side of the city. Someone will probably prove me wrong but think its been a very long time. The Place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flanker7 Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Well we've been. Pint of Abbott £2:70'ish - acceptable 2 meals for £8.45 - average - Not as good as Wetherspoons. The menu is a bit of a confusion with some tricks to get more money out of you. eg. !SWEETS FROM 99P! (Only if you have the 2 scoops of frozen yogurt. Everything else starts at £2.70'ish) true but tricksy. Ambiance not as good as Wetherspoons! A bit chavvy and noisy. Staff trying hard with new systems. Canadian bar supervisor friendly and lively. IMO it will score over W'spoons only in the ambiance as it seems child friendly. Whereas W'spoons is not the best for ankle biters. We won't be going again.

jemson Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 It could rival The Broady for beer; it has Punk IPA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a poor mans wetherspoons which is no great advertisement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
