A staple of the old Board!
The Horse & Farrier on Wigton Road, drove onto Orton Road the other day and noticed the hoardings have been removed, the bits you can see look nice. Maybe a sign it’s finally opening soon?
Sadly The Bluebell at Dalston announced it’s closing through the week, another victim of rising costs…

Just had a cracking Sunday Dinner in the St Nicholas, we only popped out for a dog walk and ended up having a couple of drinks and our dinner made for us. Never been in for food before, only the odd drink, but what we had was very good with excellent service. Having looked at the menu we'll certainly be back. In comparison we were at The Fleece on Friday where we have eaten before and we were very disappointed, compared to today it was very much a fur coat and no knickers place, lovely surroundings but no atmosphere or quality, let alone value for money.

Crown and Thistle Rockcliffe, is very good for a meal, we went on a Sunday and had a two course special, 3 course was available but I don't do puddings.
I had meatballs for a starter and the sauce they used over the top of them was one of the nicest I have tasted, if it is on the main menu with pasta I would have no hesitation in ordering it.
The Main was roast chicken with mash, roast tatties and veg but oddly also a sausage, it was very nice though.
We had a party of 12 with lots of varying meals, not a single complaint.
Just under 20 for a 2 course and think it was 23 for the 3 course.

Hello all. Could you help me with a pub for Wednesday, have friends coming up from Manchester and two are Manchester City followers. Wanting to watch their match in the town, don’t want to go on Botchergate really because have had problems watching footy in the Wetherspoons with all the teles and walkabout before. Would the old Pippins show something like this? Thank you.

Griffin will probably have it on, albeit edge of Botchergate. Would think Pippins/Appletree will too…

Thx ccu. Spoke to a friend today though he said it might not be on in apple tree as some Sunderland fans often go there and they are on as well??? Can go on botchergate but never really enjoyed it for football, Newcastle on live too. Will have to ring up some pubs I think.

How hard is it to run a pub? 1. Buy booze for X 2. pour it in a glass 3. charge Y (must be larger than X) simple
