Bit of shameless gossip spreading..... ;)

Mate of mine was having a pint down the Sheaf View tonight when a van that had been parked up (on the road from what I can gather) for some time somehow lost its handbrake and came careering down the road and crashed into the beer garden by the bins and onto the bike park (and someones bike!).

Pic he sent me at http://www.flickr.com/photos/prescottspies/5144007618/

Madness!

PS Noone was hurt thankfully. Shame about the bike...

Thanks for the 'shameless gossip', went past last night and saw the road shut off by police cars and the blue and white tape all round the Sheaf as I passed by this morning. I assumed it was violence related, glad it's not, such a good pub!

Not such a good pub? It's a very good pub. They don't sell Carling or Cream Flow.

It must have come down that grass bank where people sit on hot days didn't it?

Could have been a real disaster, glad no one was hurt.

I saw four police cars and a riot van at this.

But when the owner asked for the number for recovery firm that could winch his van out there were blank looks all round.

He got sorted in the end obviously.

Miraculous how little damage there is to the covered area.

Carry on drinking!

I guess it's personal taste. I prefer the Woodseats Palace myself as the drinks are better priced, people don't sit around a pint all night and stare at you as if you've come from Mars, and the bar staff aren't as rude.

Sheaf View - fantastic pub, lovely beer and atmosphere and great bar staff - my opinion.:)

You didn't read the last post before yours properly. there was a comma before such:roll: ie glad its not, such a good pub - which means he thinks its a great pub.
