MickyD Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Blue Boar boarded up. Forgot about the York. But as you say, if there was the demand then there'd be the pubs. Quote
enzo gambaro Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) Greyhound! And The Griffin is still going, isn't it? Edited March 23, 2017 by enzo gambaro Quote

enzo gambaro Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Had to look the greyhound up Never, ever been in there Take it Its been there forever Aye. Went in once to tick it off. It's like a little social club. Not for me by a long way, but it seems to keep folk happy. Quote
MickyD Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Used to be a popular after-work pub for firemen when the fire station was on Marsden Road. Was known as the Kicker but no idea why. Quote
Casino Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Aye. Went in once to tick it off. It's like a little social club. Not for me by a long way, but it seems to keep folk happy. Must be doing something right The match winner place, was that called the white lion? Quote

Whites man Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Lease for Blue Boar was £40k pa last time it was up. Hard to see that place making money. Quote
wackerchackers Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Apparently, it was called The kicking Donkey before The Greyhound, Quote
bolton va va Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 I occasionally call in The Greyhound but it's a bit of a trek from the Griffin - Balmoral real ale trail. Quote
tomski Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Used to drink in the greyhound when I lived that way. Cheap as chips Quote

Not in Crawley Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 Is it round the back of the newspaper offices? Mind you who needs Pizza Express when you've got Tiggis. Quote

Youri McAnespie Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) Been once, was served a still slightly frozen in the middle starter - something a f*cking monkey could make properly an' all. Shite, chain, no great loss. Another firm that should go on the shitlist of rats, lest things improve and they ever come skulking back. Edited March 29, 2017 by Youri McAnespie Quote
Not in Crawley Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 Just watched a talk by some bloke who is the CEO of Bolton at Home, pretty inspiring stuff. Spending 2m on arts projects with residents. Quote
