Firwood Cottage, Reopening as The Blind Monkey

Recommended Posts

You want a good experience, whatever that is for you, you mean? Personally I choose local pubs with local people, no pretentiions, no fancy cask beer or real ale, and no snooty judgemental people.

 

I used to use the Firwood a lot throughout the 80's and early 90's. It served real ale then and was a thriving local - used to love going in Sunday dinner when they came round with the Yorkshire Pudding.

Haha! They still do that! Roast potatoes and Yorkishire puds!

Remember when the fish man came round with cockles and crab sticks etc, or when the first prize in the quiz was a tray of meat?

Sign up saying for sale, but judging by the gutting of the insides it will never be a pub again

It's been sold and is being refurbished. It will re open as a pub, probably around Christmas time and will have real ale as well as the more traditional Tetleys, Carling etc.
