Bishop sold

[macroban]

News report here.

[Mikecg]

It was Alaxi Sayle that said "Aint it a bummer when you local pub The King William gets done up like a vd clinic and gets renamed willies", interesting I wonder what they are gonna do to the place.

[SeanMacGabhann]

They won't do anything - they already have the Florence in Herne Hill and that is still on the Bishop model. I would expect it to remain the same

[Mikecg]

What is the Bishop model Sean?

[SeanMacGabhann]

Well - pretty much as you see it.

When they (Bishop) took over Ganleys (now the Florence in HH) they introduced similar beers, very similar menu (typeface, options, prices) and service compared to the Bishop. So when this pubco took the Florence over they kept all of those in place. I can't see them changing the Bishop

[Mikecg]

Cool thanks got it now.

[bigbadwolf]

At last!

[Brendan]

Isn?t the Castle in Camberwell run by the same people who do/did the Bishop and the Florence?

What?s happened to the Castle then? Has it also been flogged to the Pub Co?

[Mikecg]

Sorry BBW I am not as well versed with the pub traders of SE London as Sean is.

[bigbadwolf]

It shows.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Bishop

Sold

But will stay the same (prediction)

What, so they're not going to try and make it nice then?

[bigbadwolf]

I've always quite liked the Bishop.

[SeanMacGabhann]

and I thought you and and Scott had made up Keef?

;-)

[Mikecg]

I like it in there but a refurb is overdue.

[bigbadwolf]

Any suggestions Mike?

[She'llsurvive]

the castle's food is not as good as it used to be when the dog was still there

[Mikecg]

A nice new floor would be a good start and some new furniture.

[Keef]

Seriously, as I've said before, it's not bad (although nothing special) for a beer in the afternoon, but Friday and Saturday it's full of tw@ts.

[Asset]

Last time I was in there a sign above the sinks in the toilet warned me the water coming from the taps was 'scolding'. How I laughed.

[Moos]

Were the doors also 'alarmed', Asset? I always like that one.

[Brendan]

And the peanuts complimentary?

Boom boom.
