Enterprise is a leisure company and as we are in Accrington the nearest Marston pub is I think the Hoghton Arms.The only one in Preston that I can think of is in the Docklands area

Still tell your friend he can get a glass washer for £10 - £12 a week.

And by the way luck never came into it with my involvement with the pub trade It was give and take on both sides
My mate was (until Sunday aft) at the Mill Tavern in Higher Walton and it will be a loss to the pub now that he's gone. Marstons' view was far more 'take' than 'give' once they saw profits rising and the new tenancy agreement saw prices not only hiked but previous deals on beer revoked. I spoke to someone at Marstons about it and rather than try and explain the situation they simply cut me off.

It will ultimately be their loss as the 70+ punters that regularly turn up for my games night on Thursday will now be drinking elsewhere.

The one on the docklands is the Ribble Pilot.
