Went down there on Saturday night after seeing a flyer on a lamp post in LL, didn't notice much difference in the decor etc from the Page 2 Bar days, and no real ale on draught, but the music was good and we had a good time, friendly vibe and nice dog, we will definitely go again :)-D

I popped in on Sunday and it was very noticeabl that it was a new bar - there is now a proper connection between the two sides for a start, so you don't have to go outside, walk down the road and into the back bar


Agree about the lack of ales Sue - I was with an ale drinker so didn't stop, but I liked the feel of the place and willbe back also

It is under new management. They've made some structural changes (e.g. linking the front and back bars), and given it a paint job (it is now much lighter - think it was painted a deep red before) but they've kept all the original features like the wood panelling etc and they still have the mismatched furniture and old, battered chesterfield sofas. We've been once for Sunday lunch. It was their first day serving lunch and think they were feeling the pressure a bit, but what we had was very nice. I agree with Sue about the friendly vibe - the only negative (which might be a plus for some) was that they had the football on when we were having our lunch in the back bar when some music would have been better suited to relaxing with sunday lunch/papers. And yes, that painting is still there.

hopefully trytapas will come on and tell us what was good and bad from his perspective on the opening weekend


I know he sought advice about wether to have football/ales etc and is trying to cover several bases (like most pub managers I guess)


One to add to the forum drinks list?

We popped in too on Sunday, the fact there were no ales meant the ale drinker in our party wasn't happy so we left after a Guinness. The new layout makes use of the whole space but there are dead areas around the place and it could do with more tables and chairs (they should go and ask in the Green if they're getting rid of their furniture). It's still in it's infancy and it's a great old pub so we'll go back soon to see how it's doing soon.


Oh yes, the music was very good with Chantoozie singing. Her website plays her music which we had on at home before we went out. Nice.

When we were there there was a veggie option on the Sunday lunch menu - Aubergine Manchego bake - with all the usual roast trimmings (veg, roasties etc). Not sure how it would work with the trimmings and we stuck with the beef that day, but I had the aubergine manchego bake when we went for tapas at Tapastry in Honor Oak Park and it was seriously delicious. Even my very carnivorous, and generally aubergine hating, other half enjoyed it.

thanks for all your constructive feedback.....


its always been a policy of mine to not spend money i havn't got, ive been in business for 11 years and become imune to the fact this game in is fickle- and rightly so, we all work hard for leisure time and we want to enjoy our creature comforts.


its never been my style to get the violin out and seek pity, i actually thrive on the process in building something up on a shoestring...yep i hold my hands up i cant please everyone at the mo ....


it is my intention to have draught ale immently - but at present i just cannot aford to have wastage...for the short term i have a selection of 5 bottled ales. Bishop finger, spitfire, old empire e.t.c


the evening tapas & sunday lunch is up and running..together with the thursday quiz,live music on friday and diffrent djs on saturday...



all i can say for now now bare with us were making improvements from week to week....


all the best

Just visited ...very impressed with how much the vibe has changed. I think as they are unable to pump money straight in this one is going to be a slow burner. Having sampled the atmos and new vibe I think it is going to be worth the wait. It reminded me of one of those pubs that you hung out in when you were younger, everyone was there but there was no specific reason why it just had a good vibe.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
