Ye Old Man & Scythe : Has Closed

Recommended Posts

Happen Enterprise got sick of lazy bastards doing cock all with what should be a cracking pub selling cracking ale.

 

They did decent food in the Man & Scythe not too many years ago (smothered rabbit was on the menu!) - I wouldn't open a bag of nuts in there now.

 

Look at the difference between that shit hole and other pubs on the "old as fuck" boozers list:

 

The Old Ferryboat in St Ives, Ye Olde Fighting Cocks in St Albans and Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem in Nottingham all look like there's been a bit of effort along the way.

 

Ours just stinks of piss and bleach.

Ye Olde Fighting Cocks in St Albans .... Reminds me of the Fighting Cock in Bradford, bikers pub, had to go incognito, but well remember one greaser with leather pants flicking fag ash into a metal ashtray balanced on his knee. When he stood up, it was only attached to his kecks, so he deposited the ash all over the floor as he departed....

it will re-open.....but probably be owned by Punch Taverns who will turn it into an "Olde Worlde Dick Turpin styled theme pub"

 

Will there be a roped off barstool with sign proclaiming 'Dick Turpin's arse was here' (or 'The Ghost of Dick Turpin's arse was here' if the new owner gets all pedantic).

 

One for the connoisseurs that ;)
