The small matters of a pandemic and Brexit. There may be others...

Well yes, but I hadn't thought cottontop meant in that wider context

People like nice pubs with decent food. Wetherspoons is neither these days. Pretty much nobody wants to spend money on a microwave meal at a pub. The margins on food are high unlike beer.

Which means Tim needs to be realistic and accept a lower price if he really w ants to get rid of the Butlers Bell.
And I thought he knew about low prices.

It was heaving today - we visited 6 or 7 different places in town trying to get a table for a some quick grub, couldn’t get near a table (possibly a blessing).

Tim?

Why do people address Tories by their first names

Everyone else by last name?

Because Tosspot may be offensive to some people

Wetherspoons website seems to be suggesting that the Butler's Bell is under offer.

But will the new owners be able to compete with cask beers at £1.99 a pint on Thursdays across the road in Hogarths ?

Why don't you ask them, because nobody on here can answer your question.

 

[Noah]

Or will the new owners even keep it as a pub?

Do we need to call the fire engine now?

Do we need to call the fire engine now?

I can think of other pubs/former pubs around the area that are more likely to mysteriously catch fire.

Rumours circulating on facebook that it's been brought by the Slug and Lettuce chain

I was in a slug and lettuce in Nottingham the other day, I was very pleased by its cocktail menu and seemingly perpetual happy hour

Prices similar to Wetherspoons though.
Not much more than £3 a pint in the Cannock ones yesterday.
And their Craft Union pubs even less, only £2.70 for Harveys Sussex Best in Brighton earlier this week.
