belperite   11 #37 Posted February 14, 2019 Complete conjecture on my part but maybe TN have the capital to buy it but Stancill don't, and have come to some arrangement re: how the pub will be run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Annie Bynnol   612 #38 Posted March 25, 2019 The Old Grindstone has now re-opened. It now serves Stancil beers at £2 80  or £2 50 with CAMRA card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Bilge   34 #39 Posted April 23, 2019 I called in last week. It's improved a lot. The beer I had (Stancil golden pale ale of some sort) was OK and £2.80 is a sensible price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Grappler   12 #40 Posted April 24, 2019 Called in a few times in the last few weeks, beers good, food good. Plenty of people in (week nights) which is not a bad sign, friendly staff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Looks like you got it bang on, if you read the Punchbowl thread there is an article about the Crookes acquisitions. Apparently Stancil are just a temporary tenant whilst the pub gets back on its feet and then TN will put more of their stamp on it.

It's a shame,was in the closed shop who are Stencil too and it was busy,think Grindstone needs a good manager,last time I was in there was no chef so no food.
