It was such a lovely pub. I drank and occasionally ate there for many years. It had a locals feeling about it. It had the most grumpy couple who managed it, and an outrageous gothed up person behind the bar. Then it went through several makeovers and it was never the same again.
Bums on seats. The plastic grass, little cabins, relatively expensive alcohol, ubiquitous menu, all brings the punters in. Pub business has changed. The brewery who ran their pubs so well has long since gone. They don't need my business and my sense of nostalgia to survive.
I'm surprised there's such hate for the Wood House. I don't particularly like the interior decor but it's good a big garden with a bunch of covered and uncovered seating.
I'm not surprised the culture warriors have showed up with their usual "facts".
I have also noticed bleeping. I can only hear it when the window is open at the front. I'm on Whateley Road, quite near the Lordship Lane end. Initially I thought it was a neighbour's smoke alarm running out of battery.
