There is certainly nothing to be made by the brewery not opening it back up either. I thought they did OK in there but perhaps there's a view that any regulars will simply go to Sam Webbs and spend the same money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevster Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 The building needs a lot of work doing - last time I was in there they had buckets all over the place to catch the rain that was coming in through the ceiling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be H&B's MO, as soon as they need to put their hand in their pocket they shut them and leave them to rot! The way they're going we'll end up with one central pub at the bungalow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyWolf Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I’ve not drank in a managed H&B pub for years most were crap back then and I’d assume they haven’t got any better except maybe for a coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dog's Dangly Bits Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 some H and B pubs are fine. Others are crap. Just like some free houses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyWolf Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Next time am in the big smoke I’ll give the Woody a go, ( I actually thought it was a free house) have to admit not been in Woody since the year of the big spud to many years to remember it was always slightly of the Barbary coast stroke promenade then club track.
