The Peacock (pub)

[Tadger]

The Borough is hated on here for similar, just the other way round to what happened with The Peacock.

There's plenty of pile it high, sell it cheap, places for the former clientele of the Londonderry to go to. Joseph's, Borough, Beehive, Vesta Tilleys. Room for both type of pubs.

The Borough was far better before.

Good beer, proper music on etc. now it's just a Carling/John Smith's bland affair.

Aye it was so good that there was hardly anyone went in and it was closing down until the current pubco took it on.

It wasn't to everyone's taste but it had character.

It's just a dull pub for the Madri Mob now.

Trade winds and thunder road were on when I was in yesterday trade winds was a very pale ale think it was a 3.4 and thunder road was a pale 4.5

I quite like that, very easy to drink as are a lot from the Wensleydale brewery. In fact I’m gonna have a dodge down The Chesters for a few later this afternoon.

 

[Good as my pit cap]

Never seen so much malice or ill feeling towards a pub in my life for having rebranded itself and bettered its business.

For those who don't know what I'm talking about, there's a certain crowd on Facebook who really despise the Peacock and miss the days of the Londonderry, and they take maximum offense to anything that portrays the place in a positive light.

My opinion is it's a cracking venue and a symbol of the Keel Square area's regeneration, with a much better feel about it.

It's fine, I quite like it. Liked the derry too.

Let's be honest, The Peacock is vastly superior to the Londonderry.

Would have closed down if it hadn't been changed.

Disagree on the beer mind, yes they sold a bit of cask but it was invariably poor, even the Guinness wasn't up to much as I stopped risking the cask long before it changed.

I’ve probably seen Prowsey in various guises about twenty times over the years and he always puts on a good show. I’m off to Barnoldswick the following weekend for this tour.

The last chat I had with him was about two years ago and just after the release of ‘One hand on the starry plough’. He was just chuffed to bits that after many years of toil he was a viable musician based upon the album sales.

It's absolutely criminal what they did to The Borough. Absolute disgrace.

Characterful pub turned into a bland shithole.
Took one look after it was done out and turned around again.
Some people shouldn't be allowed near pub ownership.
