Shame. Will it ever be taken over and kept open full time? Or knocked down for a couple of houses

It is a shame. I used to work there when Bobby had it years ago, always packed every weekend back then. Seems like no one can get it right these days, but that's the industry at the minute. Hoping for a euro millions win tonight

Sign saying...Unique business opportunity.

I blame non smokers.

Back in 2000 - 2002 when I was back in the North East for a couple of years it was a great place to go for some good grub and beer at reasonable prices, good atmosphere and service. Sad to learn it continues to go down hill...

No Bobby was there when I started and left. May 2000 until August 2002 I was there.

It's a destination location.

Needs to be top notch or will never bring in enough money.

Last time I was in it was that fake lord bloke who has spoiled the floaters, the copt hill and I believe is currently spoiling the court in Durham. All fur coat and no knickers.

Absolutely. Accidentally tried Sunday lunch during his tenure, absolute slop.

I was half seeing a girl who worked there when Bobby had it. Used to go up and have a bit craic on with Bobby. Was popular then aye.

This.
Unless they serve food which is spot on, it will do fuck all.

Oh wow this takes me back, I was banned when I was 16, or more accurately I was told never to go back again.....I'm guessing that's a ban. Happy memories

Couple? With the car park they'd put about 20 on the fucker these days.

It's entirely due to the decade long Tory imposition of austerity impinging on the innate working and middle class penchant for illicit extra marital affairs. It used to be the perfect 'nee-one will recognise us and it isn't too far away' drinking den for sexually disgruntled married folk. Hence the associated rise in dogging rates.

Got turned away for Sunday Lunch not long ago because it was "full"....there were 3 people in the pub and that included the bar staff.



John Osterisch ?

He's Jormin

This is true, especially when they occupy a corner plot. Over the years, lots of former pubs and filling stations have been turned into apartments. They can cram more on then.
