Neil Down Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Good to see that things aren't going as smoothly as they would like... http://www.iomtoday.co.im/article.cfm?id=52336&headline=Future of pub is uncertain after appeal is booted out§ionIs=NEWS&searchyear=2019 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) as i understand it, probably incorrectly, they will only sell it as long as it isn't used as a pub/licensed premises, if they say it isn't viable as a pub why put that restriction on a sale? surely they should take the money and run whilst watching it fail and laughing about it Edited December 2, 2019 by WTF 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed...long overdue that this covenant bollox got legally challenged. Force sale at market rates after a year...via big fines for its current state. Another Castle Mona going to rack and ruin and blotting the landscape just because of greed. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 Just now, Neil Down said: I think they (the brewery) know that with the right manager in, that place is a potential gold mine. Shame the brewery can't avail themselves of the goldmine opportunity and install a "right manager" in there then? Or at least a manager who's capable of cleaning the draught pipes more than once a month would do... Still now they've found out that their profits aren't quite as high as they thought they were, courtesy of an allegedly dodgy auditor, I'm sure they'll be eager to maximise every opportunity to rectify the damage. Though that'll probably mean just putting the prices up. Again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I really would love to see them go bust. There'd be job carnage in the short term but within the year a massive positive boost as the void was soon filled by numerous freehouses or a new decent chain. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone took it on and made it successful I am sure it would attract more people into pubs generally, and might hold up an example to H&B an alternative of how it can be done. Alternatively, as you suggest, the brewery could watch it fail and laugh about it. At least they should have tried to sell it as a going concern. And if there were no takers them and only then could they put it up for sale with planning permission to residential. I found the reason for the Appeal to be rather inept. "Don't agree with original decision" (ICBA looking, but it was brief words to that effect). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
