I can see another five pubs shutting by second quarter

Ed at the Kings keeps a decent pint or two and it's en route to the mighty Rangers.

We haven't been very mighty over the 3 last games, however hopefully we can tame the tigers (Hyde) today and pick up a surprising 3 points.

We’ll, that’s different.
A pub thread hijacked by football.

Worse things happen at sea !

Are there efforts underway to find a new landlord or closing up shop permanently?

 

[Noah]

Definitely confirmed as closing at the end of February - Bonita's health and rising costs cited as reasons. No idea what is happening, pub/tenancy don't appear to be on the market and no planning applications for change of use submitted when I last looked.

Most of the staff have worked there for years. Sad times

Back in the 1950s football legend Dennis Westcott took on The Greyhound in retirement. That was when footballers were paid £10-7s-6d a week - as opposed to £200 million / wk.

Dennis Westcott

Dennis Westcott might be the only Stafford publican that had been injected with slices of monkey testicle.

The rest just talk bollocks?

The Spittal Brook was certainly really popular when kept by Pete Turner twenty years ago.

Yes, and the beer choice continues to be excellent.
