HCF2010 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Met with Jon the other day re The White Lion supporting the Farm amongst others and they seem very enthusiastic and keen to make it a community pub. I really hope they make a go of it as it's a great little pub and they seem like a nice couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitelion Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Good luck with it. Always a pub I've liked going in although I am one of those that went for the loud groups and their rock covers! You'll be well catered for in that regard, you have my word.

The quicker you take over the less damage will be done. I was in the pub last week. A guy at the bar ordered a pint of Hobgoblin. It was served in a brim measure handle mug with fully an inch and a half of head. The customer looked in disbelief as it was handed over. He asked for a top up. The bar man made a slight tug on the pump. The level didn't change. The guy asked for another top up but the barman insisted on serving some else first. After a 2nd to up the level was still well over an inch and a quarter short. The customer shrugged his shoulders as he reluctantly walked off with 3/4 pint for which he'd paid £3.20. I doubt he will be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitelion Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 We take over tomorrow, shutting Monday and Tuesday to take care of the cleaning, ordering, pricing, tills etc, and then back open from Wednesday onwards. We have a mini-launch on Friday - I say mini-launch as there is a significant refurb to take place (toilets etc) which will necessitate a few other days of closure whilst this - much needed - revamp takes place. The staff who are being retained have been doing their best to explain the current situation and to let people know of the change next week so yes, hopefully not too much damage!

Kevin-H Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Will you be putting the comedy nights on still? Used to drink in White Lion years ago but only times have been in recently were for the laughs. Will go again if it's back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norbert Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Hi WhiteLion (Jon & Mandy) Is that by any chance Mandy with the red/pink hair and a love of dogs? Will you be scrapping the no hats policy? Is there a quiz? All the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
