Right, I'll be checking it out myself in a few weeks time and if there's no Stanley pics, I'll be having a word!

There's a Stanley picture from the Peel Park days.

 

[AccyMad]

Have just checked it out,was heaving, the pics i saw were of ewbank, some hall/lodge etc, beer garden was great, ample space under cover n outside, never saw all the pics, couldn't get near some of em, on the downside beware if yer taking kids in, half of coca-cola £1-65.

Ya sly owd beggar Cashy, I'm sure you said you wouldn't be venturing in such a place - what's up, did curiosity get the better of you - just popped in meself for a quick birthday drink. didn't stay too long as was packed but will definately go back when the novelty's worn off a bit & it's not quite so busy

Fair play - might've known there's be method in your madness

 

[Barrie Yates]

Called in at lunchtime, place was packed - no doubt some would be there out of curiosity, but it seemed OK.
Nicely laid out, comfortable smoking area all under cover, with decent tables and chairs and what looked to be a pleasant beer garden.
Noticed that there was security around so maybe they will keep the dross out of there. Prices up a little, Kronenbourg was 15p dearer than the Queens, I tried the White Witch, tasty which was about £1 for a half.
Will definitely be going in there again.

Oh you buzz of

 

[flashy]

It's still packed, just been past, it was nice to see the bouncers on the door, not seen any anywhere near that pub in years

 

[Tealeaf]

Bouncers on the door = Bar, and a place to be avoided.

Definately not a pub, then.

 

[Gordon Booth]

You're only saying that because you know they wouldn't let you in.

 

[Tealeaf]

I would not dream of crossing the threshold.

Anyway, can someone please describe in more detail the decor in there?

 

[phil8715]

I was in there around half past 2 today. They have done a really good job of the building.

I'm going in tomorrow night for a few beers with the Mrs.

 

[Tealeaf]

Please, please, please can someone tell me what is the internal decor:

a) Lighting

b) Tables (wood type, colour, style, whether numbered or not) & chairs

c) Internal divisions

d) Carpet - colour and pattern

e) Bar - colour, style and pump lay out

f) If anyone got to see the 'kitchens', the numbers and layout of the microwaves and deep fat fryers.

 

[cashman]

Tables are numbered T. noticed little else was heaving so headed straight out to beer garden after fighting to get served. wood tables in beer garden half of it covered, astro turf floor out yon.

 

[Tealeaf]

...astro turf floor out yon.

I need to know no more. It simply confirms what I knew all along...a plastic bar, one more in their grubby chain and no different than Macdonalds other than in the refreshments on offer. Yuk!

 

[cashman]

yep the astro turf is tacky, in fairness though it beats the crap outa standing at pub doors in the cold n rain to have a fag. though i shan't be repeating at that price fer a sodding coke.
