Seven Stars, Brocton.

I'm not sure how true this is but I heard that the Seven Stars at Brocton has been sold.

Apparently it's going to be renovated and turned into a gastropub.

Does it not already do food?

It does do food.

Very craply. It also needs a bloody good clean.

It does do food but never in a million years could it be called a gastro pub.

I've had the carvery, and while it was pleasant enough, it was so dingy inside it put me off going again.

It's definitely due a refurb that's for sure.

I haven't been in there for thirty years - since the infamous minibus incident.

I think it's spelt ghastly

You've been there before.

You've been there before.

One cannot help being sceptical when

On a previous occasion a new local restaurant set out its advertising campaign claiming amazing food, only to three weeks later, advertise for an entire kitchen staff

I mean, how thefuck would they know

And given the cuisine desert that is Stafford you wouldn't really have high expectations from out of the kitchen in the first place.

Even our curry houses are facing a bleak future - An imported chef costing a minimum of 36k pa

Apparently purchased by the Paragon Pub Co who own the Wayfarer at Stone as well as other pubs in the Stoke area -

The play barn will be going. All of this information is just a rumour, unless anyone knows better

Having been into a lot of Indian restaurant kitchens in the course of work over the years, you'd be surprised (or maybe not) at the amount of Sharwoods curry pastes etc that are in use.

Go on then, spill the beans (which judging by the state of the carpets in the Seven Stars, is a very regular occurrence).

Beans were not amongst that which was spilt on the infamous minibus occasion.

From here down for a few posts...

Do keep up.

If he can do it why can't you?

Because my mum doesn't always lock me in my bedroom, leaving me with nothing else to do.

And because even I don't talk that much bollocks.

Only half?

 

[Gramaisc]

Only half?

I think the record was one + five.

I also think the count in the top right, makes allowances for removed posts. The count number in a post URL give the full total.

Currently 331,810 total and 328,775 visible posts.
