If you’re with Vodafone and use their rewards app you can get two tickets for £7 every week.

oooh - you've just reminded me about O2 Priroty app - I wonder if that has something similar.

It doesn't - but I can get money off meals at Zizzi and I think @Goldilox is on Vodafone so it might be worth investigating

Been told Butler's Bell is closing at the end of the month, wonder how true it is and if they'll use it for something else or get rid or it.

Wouldn't be surprised, awful food, awful service. Shame for some of the staff, but some of manners and customer service by some of them......oh my lord

A lot of perk stuff should have Odeon on. I have Perkbox through the Ltd and that gives a couple of quid off Odeon tickets which is always nice.

Where did you glean this information? If so, this would be a huge loss to the North end of the town. It's always heaving when I visit.

I have to disagree with all of these comments.

Original Odeon to become a pub

Shire Hall to become a pub

Borough Library to become a pub

Post House to become a vets

Old Grammar School to become an airport lounge

Old M&S to become an Amsterdam style red light zone

Stantons to rebecome Stantons

Azaraway to become fields

Stafford Gaol to become a nightclub featuring the Robert Relf bar and the Michael X lounge with music in the Michael Collins zone .

Or not

At all

According to Facebook jungle drums the pub is being sold - I'm sure it will reopen as a something else in due time if it does close.

Another pub will take it on and try to sell the same products at a higher price than Weatherspoons. Failure guaranteed.

After all Weatherspoons don't close many down but will make an exception for Stafford.

Or they may have a specific, more appealing offering and be a run away success - until it appears on our high street / see details in documents we'll not know so there's not much point guessing

Enjoying a drop of red.
Sitting in Caffe Nero earlier, admiring the view, as you do, I couldn't help but feel what a dreadful loss to Stafford Brighthouse will be, with its 69.9% interest.

Those who work there must be proper proud.

In fact Weatherspoons have either sold or put up for sale almost 100 of its venues since 2015.
