stables used to be a private members bar. Us riff raff couldn't get in.....

I was a member then. Old Jack McCall used to have it.

How come the pub is called the Shoulder of Mutton but everyone calls it the Stack Yard?

I know that’s on the door to the bar but you wouldn’t say ‘I’m going to the Saddle’ (The Barnes) or ‘I’ll meet you in Bloomers’ (The Rosedene).

Eh? It's called the stackyard and that's the name on the front of it. Or am I being whooshed here?

No Moo. It was originally called the "Shoulder of Mutton".
As @Tex quite rightly says, the bar had a sign above the door saying "Stackyard".

It was officially called The Shoulder back in the 90s, everyone still called it the Stackyard though. This was back when Dave E was manager. Dunno if it was originally the Stackyard years ago it something?

Stables is more for bait IMO

You’re obviously in the clique.

Should be enough money around that area to keep two pubs going, unless they are all fur coat nee knickers types? Was always busy when Trevor had it and Big Davey.

Like you say it was always busy when Big Davey had it, Benno used to get in then also, Big Davey runs a place in Cramlington these days

Correct.
The "Stackyard" as we know now was ALSO called the Shoulder of Mutton.

Mexico 70 has been opening for 8 weeks. Not heard of the other on here so it doesn’t exist.
