They might decide to honour the person who does more for Accrington than anyone in local history.

Might be The Brit or The Cliffe

The Ilyas Khan does have a certain ring about it.

They do tend to name their pubs after local historical figures/places from the area. Mind you, most people just call it Wetherspoons at the end of the day.

They are always keen to promote that they do welcome children (up until 9.00 p.m), which is good.

Me and t'other half will have a wander down when it opens to see what they have done to it.
Will seem strange though no tv's or music

Kids till 9pm Kate, that would rule me out for a start, I belong to the old school which thinks the time for kids to be in pubs is when they are legally old enough, or can get away with it, sorry

The one in Blackburn has tv's dotted all around the walls

Used one in Bristol quite a bit when home from Saudi and found it quite good. Clean, food reasonable, both quality and price, beer, good selection and cheaper than other pubs, no drunks or attitude and very rarely heard obscene language - they were told to shut it or leave.
If they apply the same standards in Accrington a lot of the yobs and yobbesses are going to have to learn a new vocabulary

It's because it is considered an eating house too, Jaysay, not just a pub.

Makes no difference to me Kate, a restaurants a restaurant a pubs a pub end of as far as I'm concerned
Just as an after thought, it wouldn't be saw bad if parents would control their kids when they were out but in my experience they just let um run wild

Restaurants serve alcohol though, Jaysay.
There are lots of family pubs like this now and I think, as per Barrie's thread, this is why the staff clamp down more on the ones that are more than racous.
Of course, there are always going to be the parents who don't discipline their children ... again, the staff would have a word with them.

You have to visit one to see what the atmosphere is like.

I actually agree with Jaysay, You want to go in for a quiet pint and the last thing I want to see are kids running around in a bar bumping into people spilling drinks, and the parents doing nothing about it.

Pubs are for adults not kids.

katex · 03-04-2011, 12:49

Can see am banging my head against a strong (Nori ? ) brick wall here.

Of course, wouldn't like to see children in The Bridge/Bees Knees and places like this ... but is a dining pub. Take a look at their menu :

Quality Food, Great Value | Food Menu | J D Wetherspoon

It's because they cater for families, they are so successful.
