Fudbeer   12 #13 Posted March 11, 2016 Neither pub has much chance of surviving when both are competing with freeholds near by. Fosters 11g Direct - £65 Foster 11g Tied (Punch/Enterprise) - £125  Moonshine 11g Direct £60 Moonshine 11g Tied (Punch/Enterprise) £105  There is just no way to compete and actually make any money. They can compete as managed houses as the lease holders sell beer to themselves at a competitive price!  Interesting when you compare the Millhouses to The Ranmoor rent an ingoing, which is traditionally much more successful.... http://www.enterpriseinns.com/run-a-pub/pubs/pages/ranmoor-inn-sheffield.aspx  Wow so they want nearly as much rent for the Millhouses a pub struggling to survive as they do the Ranmoor which is probably one of the most successful pub co pubs in the city and more upfront.

beefface   10 #14 Posted March 11, 2016 I was under the impression that The Abbey was due to close on June 9th for extensive refurbishment, £ 200,000's worth on all accounts. Have things changed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Have things changed?  More likely true, I have heard it is going in to their full managed wing. The Falcon agreement is no longer on offer.....

I1L2T3 Â Â 10 #18 Posted March 11, 2016 nothing wrong with the kitchens , when Kay was the manager there it worked perfectly well and she turned it round in a short space of time. this is the Millhouses I am talking about. Â Sorry, the thread expanded a bit to include the Abbey. It was the Abbey that had kitchen problems. Â I know the Millhouses kitchen is working. I was there recently and had a terrific meal And that Birra Moretti on draught...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Tess   10 #20 Posted July 23, 2016 We've been in since Kaye went back, only for a quick drink, but the whole place seemed to be running a lot more smoothly than i've seen it in a long time, and the food coming out looked delicious. Its a lovely pub and deserves to do well. Best of luck to Kaye! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Fudbeer   12 #22 Posted October 18, 2016 Went in a month or so back.  In fairness it gets some great reviews on trip advisor and the place is clean and looks good.  However when we called for a drink was not cheap and felt a bit "clicky" and certainly no smiles from bar staff so have not returned.

verona   10 #24 Posted October 20, 2016 I heard that the chef had walked out again and as a result the food is not too good. Hope they get it sorted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
