I heard it from a staff member! When I asked them who had bought it, the person replied, the boss won't tell us. Some Business man looking to develop it. Furniture was also being shifted out today - what looked like a bit of a tidy up.


For those of us living behind/ within the vicinity of the pub we are very keen on knowing who/ what etc...

...that's the problem, that's all I know. i.e that it has allegedly been sold. Rumours a few months back was that several chains were interested in getting in on the ED strip. The staff member distinctly said it was a private businessman, but that's all he knew. Maybe another Gastro-pub awaits us....Perhaps the patrons might be a slightly less rowdy? who knows. It was one of the last remaining "old Codger" hangouts. Oh and Trivia night is gone...Peace on Sundays for a while....

I personally am a big fan of the Mag. Nowhere else has sport on like it, with a good atmosphere.

its closing for a referb around the 8th July.

The manager could not say who was taking over as he himself has not been told.

For some people who are being made redundant its their livelyhood and home. I bet noone is giving them a second thought!

Bummer. Why can't they just keep the old staff on or are there some grand plans for the place? Or is it some big pub-co taking over who will intall waitrons and bartrons to sell overpriced beer and prefabricated food?


Anyway I wonder if they will have opened up again by 26 July and wil still be serving pizza for a certain pub crawl that is happening.

Their busiest night was comedy club night and they stopped it, and it was the only thing that seperated them from all the other pubs.

When the forum had their monthly 'do' it was difficult to hold a conversation, as the noise from their sound system drowned everything out.

I feel that almost any change in the management structure, would be an improvement.

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
