The Lordship - fantastic party venue

Huge thanks to everyone at the Lordship for helping to making my birthday party such a success last week. Everyone was raving about the beautiful space, friendly staff and fantastic food. Andrew and Tom let us decorate with masses of fairy lights, play our own playlists through their music system and were generally friendly and helpful throughout.


Highly recommended as a party venue - thanks to everyone involved!

Have been a few times in the evening and despite very friendly bar staff the place lacked atmosphere

due to there being only 4-5 people there at 9.00pm Saturday night.


Have to a say have not been for a while and perhaps things have picked up but does not get much of a mention

generally on EDF.


Have to admit that looking at their website the food does look reasonably priced and I will pay it another

visit soon and may well sample their Sunday Menu or evening meal.


Note:-

It's strange in some way that eating a curry on your own (being single) is quite acceptable whilst sitting

down to a roast dinner or indeed most other restaurant types is not so.


One would not for example go to Platform One one ones own.

Does that make sense.. ?

We went to The Lordship for dinner on a Friday night a few weeks ago, and the food was delicious. Very reasonably priced, and it was busy with diners (was about 9pm) and drinkers. Planning to go back again soon, it's worth a visit for anyone that hasn't tried it.

To be fair Jay R is a + one, even when dining solo

Yes fair enough DF but my post was specifically about the Lordship's qualities as a party venue, and how brilliantly it lent itself to that function, in this case on a Tuesday night. Telling us about your solo experiences there on the odd quiet night isn't especially relevant. Cheers. H

    • A friend who lives in the next road says the word on the street is that a young Irish family is  taking over the Blythe. But also, some local (to the pub!) people were looking into the possibility of it becoming a community owned pub, which would have been nice. Who knows. Wait and see, eh. Fingers crossed and hope it doesn't change too much 😭 There aren't many pubs like the Blythe left 😭
    • This isn't twenty years hence, this has been happening since the beginning of the millennium.  Brewery and pub chains have been selling off their wet pubs (ie ones that don't do food) and many have closed to be redeveloped as domestic properties.  The MMC report that broke up the power of the big breweries had an unexpected outcome in that it has contributed  to a decline in the number of pubs.  Tastes have changed, we drink less, and  where we do drink this is more often at home.  There is more choice on the telly, and other on screen activities such as what I am doing now. Con is retiring and I hope the Blythe stays loosely the same.  I had a chat with him tonight and will play a song for the bar staff.  I'll keep drinking in the Castle, so hope this continues to trade.
    • I found an Apple Watch near the junction of Woodwarde Road and Beauval Road this afternoon. It may have been dropped by someone jogging on that route. Please pm me if you believe it is yours.
