Going well, cheers to everyone who has been in and the positive comments. Food due Oct 14th from 12-8. Enjoying the real ales and a few new ones arrived today.

 

If only you could reinstate the old menu from around 2005-6. That chicken in stilton and mushroom sauce was divine!

Is the great beer garden being reinstated? It was being used as a car park last time I walked past.PS I also loove the murals outside, please keep 'em!

Beer garden will be reinstated. Taken over 20 sacks or rubbish, trimmings etc out so far. Won't be getting new tables till next summer when we replant and spend some more time on it. For now there are still 3 or 4 tables which are well used even in this weather.

 

With respect to cars mine is there at the moment as I am still doing loads of running around while setting up pub and several workmen are using it intermittently as we do bits up. No intention of taking customer space with my car or other peoples going forward though. Maybe a few more weeks though.

 

In respect to the other thread and MJ being in the pub - I have not seen him. If he is indeed alive and living in Sheffield he could do a lot worse than come here for a pint. Lots of his tracks on the juke box keep getting played though eeerily!

Yes, food is very nice, batter on the fish is lovely and the burger is the best I have tried in a long time!
