Butler's Bell - Gaolgate, Stafford.

Now hearing rumours about a different purchaser. Time will tell

Looks as though it is Davenports who have got the Butlers. Hoping to reopen on 31 Oct. Minimal refurbishment but having to replace all the beer lines & coolers as Wetherspoons are taking theirs with them.

So sticky carpets to stay then. Nice...

I understood that the Littleton Arms was to be a Davenports pub but none of their beers were on when I went there.

Don't always have any of their cask beers on for some reason. Do have their bottled beers, not sure about keg.

Cleaning the carpets & tables might be part of the minimal refurbishment, we shall see.

With the Butler’s Bell closed & the Picture House flooded has “Tim” opened a new place in the old King’s Head using his name?

 

[c0tt0nt0p]

Telling that the Butlers Bell is now closed, the Picturehouse is temporarily closed and there's 2 customers in Munch and Slurp...

Saw 2 guys outside the Bell with ladders and paint as I passed this morning, not wasting time!

 

[Thehooperman]

They were handing out Wetherspoons gift cards as a loyalty reward to customers in the Bellend yesterday.

You didn't even need to be a regular Spoons customer to get one!!

Quite a big building, I hope whoever comes in does well that end of town....not the best

Unless it's a chain with a lot of money behind them ? Ohh "Davenports" have 99 locations in Birmingham apparently, this will be the first outside birmingham,

In a few years it might be a good location with all the flats being built in town (Guild-hall Co-op)

Well that's if people can afford it probably will be 6 pound a pint then and silly rent costs no doubt for being located in town... and the fact if you can afford it you're probably traveling outside of stafford for a decent job so don't have so much spare time...

Most office jobs can be done from home, but then why live in a flat?

No, they also have the Littleton Arms in Penkridge, Coach House in Stratford upon Avon, the Elms At Shareshill, Post House in Kidderminster, Port House, Stourport, Met in Walsall and sundry other pubs outside Birmingham

Rather like the proper Davenports that had pubs across Warwickshire and the East Midlands and in Oxfordshire, ,Shropshire, Staffordshire and Worcestershire.

 

[Trumpet]

I remember the orange wooden crates.

This is the website I have Davenports - only lists 5 of their pubs but the site is being rebuilt. More of them get a mention their Facebook page
