I think that's what a few were saying in the thread. Admittedly it was a bit weird. Mid afternoon to early evening (when we were out) streets round the bars were a ghost town. But the bars (we went in 5 before leaving at 7.30) were all busy
More TVs added with Sky Sports & TNT Sports
A gradual refresh of the venue throughout
Plans for quiz nights coming soon
We’re also looking to support local sports teams - get in touch!

First things first - the name is staying the same, and so are the prices
But we’re bringing you more choice behind the bar with a wider range of brands

A big difference with us:
This site is free of tie, meaning we’re not connected to any pub company or brewery - giving us the freedom to bring you better variety and value.
(For those who know us - yes, we also run The Chester’s, which is tied to Stonegate - but this venue is completely independent.)

As far as I'm aware it was never a pub. Current building went up after the war (predecessor was bombed).
Didn't have you down as an Express reader. Do you get it for the crossword?
They've had quiz nights in there before.quiz night will be interesting.
A tiebreaker question they used was "what colour is an orange ?"
or ' who you looking at ' ?
It was an article on British Pubs on Facebook. Not my usual read.
Originally it was ġeolurēad (yellow-red) as the naming of the fruit came before the colour.
Bonus braying for anyone getting that.
