Tbh, the post house was only good in it's first incarnation really.
The fosters?, did a good job with the place, but it was crippled by low footfall and high rent, also, I think they put too much emphasis on the food side.
At best, they should have just did average pub grub, and a more superior banquet on a need to basis, like for weddings events and such.
Also the interior space is a little awkward, there's numerous rooms and passage ways, so it's difficult to make it a club really.
Going forward, I'm not sure what you can do with the place, the last 3 failed for various reasons.
Fosters spent way too much on the place.
The casa team did the math, n realised the rent would pull both it and casa down if they continued the venture, so pulled out.
N the last lot, we're hit by falling numbers of people out, n I don't think they did enough to differentiate between that and the post house, so again, a failed idea.

It would make a great coffee, dessert, mobile phone, bookies, indian, charity shop
Must be a demand for this type of establishment and all in one place to cut down on the walking

Well you could have a meal at the Swan or burgers at the Bear or the Vaults as alternatives, so it's hardly surprising.

Apparently, the landlord of the post house has stated, because of the repeated failures of the place, and being short changed, by tenants not paying rent, along with the difficulty in finding a reliable tenant, going forward, he'll either put the whole thing for sale, or will only lease it to a big national firm, so that's independent firms out the question for the foreseeable future.

Hold on... You're not suggesting we should be sympathetic with a commercial landlord are you ??
