Royal Oak, Gnosall

[Noah]

Pub seems to be closed at the moment

 

[Lucy]

Didn't they take over The Horns too?

 

[Lucy]

Apparently it's closed under very sad circumstances.

 

[Noah]

Yes, I gather that Phil Reynolds, the landlord, has passed away

 

[tek-monkey]

Didn't one of their bar staff pass away not too long ago too?

 

[flossietoo]

Probably best not to speculate any further on this.

 

[Mudgie]

Yes, I understand there have been two deaths in very sad circumstances, one of them as nice a person as I've ever met.

I'll remember that on Remembrance Day.

Good for you. Fill your boots.

Being taken on by the same people who have Warren's at Great Wyrley and renamed Acorn. I've been to the Great Wyrley one and had an excellent meal.

 

[Trumpet]

They have the Bell at Haughton too. Decent Sunday lunches to be had.

 

[Lucy]

The people who have The Bell have given up the Oak and Warren's are taking it on.
