Soon as it became about food , when I was a teen the Barnes I think made more money than any pub in the north east

Closer to 30 years it's been a Toby I think.

It was the biggest earner in the Bass brewery chain back in the 80's.

Rosedene is more soulless than ever since the refurb
Agree about the Barnes - they should re open the back bar

The echo reporting it's had about 40'000 customers in it's first 8 week. Decent start.

Didn't notice it post match but went in the other door and it seems worse by the door to the left IIRC

We went into the Keel Tavern for a lunchtime meal and a few drinks over the holidays and the food was excellent (we had fish and chips and a few different pies between us - all great).

Never understood the hype about the Rosedene, place is grim.
It's like a Brewster Bears pub without the soft play.
Only been in the once and won’t ever be going back after their Xmas day fiasco. f***ing shambles and the manageress’ partner is an absolute bellend.

I'd heard about what happened on christmas day, it was not long after me and a few others left. It used to be a great pub with all sorts of ages, then Greene King took it over and the demographic has shifted. I don't like it anymore.
What happened on Christmas Day?

3 Wise Men didn't bother hanging about for their Xmas dinner
And there were definitely no gifts on offer

we went out once for xmas dinner (not the rosedene) it was an utter shambles. every single table demanding an ultra high level of service 'cos its xmas day' , the manager taking on far too many tables with far too little staff and charged a fortune for it, everyone running around like maniacs and every woman in the place reminding anyone who would listen how christmas was so special to them and how it had been ruined etc..
