Dark Star Comes To Haywards Heath

[The Birdman]

It's got a decent car park across the road already..........didn't it used to be owned by the same people that owned the Jack and Jill ? There is a right miserable twunt running that place......

Yes that's correct on both accounts

United services great drinking hole it went down hill when they gave women the vote and allowed them to play snooker only joking had one of my my stag partys in the Lounge which was attended by Graham Mosley and Gerry Ryan good old days. I can remeber Five pints of Carlsberg for a £1 .

Recall the whole £1 worth coming back up! SAUSAGES

 

[The Birdman]

Savannah have guest beers but the locals swear by Harveys which is a shame as I love trying new beers and we now have many small micro brewery's in Sussex I think we should have a beer festival at the amex great location. Grape Grain have three real ales for take away at very good prices and hundreds of different bottled beers one of the best indepentant off licence in Sussex.

Very good news. Dark Star Revelation was being sold in Chichester Weatherspoons, sadly no longer. The replacements are not in the same league. Incidentally had Meltdown in Newcastle other night, so they guesting well, which is hardly surprising.

Wrong I do not frequent pubs now only to eat if I go for a drink which is very rare it is the United Services Club. I do not like the way pubs have gone no longer a convivial meeting place as they were. They pulled out of the Priory when a Councillor with a vested interest raised objections. That is the residents of the town in general loss.

I think you will find that they pulled out after the survey in the area came out with only 3% in favour and 76% of locals against.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Surprised they aren't looking at that pub on East Street that Bison are trying to crowdfund...

Interesting. Do you have a link? Can't find any hard details on this.

 

[The Birdman]

Dark Star should open a pub in LEWES that would stir it.

When, how and who did they survey as everybody I know up the hospital end of the town wanted it. The official reason for rejection was that the council and police wanted all the bars in the same area of town to make policing easier, that came in a written reply from the Town Council to a letter I wrote asking about it.

There was an unofficial survey that was done by the businesses in the broadway i believe.

What a one sided and worthless survey that would be as 90% of those businesses would obviously be against them because of the competition they offered and are in the same or similar business.

Well you would say that because the vote went against what you wanted.

 

[S.T.U cgull]

Maybe the old stañd up customers will frequent the Broadway now . But the bars do serve a great pint of Harveys and guest ales.

Don't know. The draught beer in Savannah isn't great

Had an evening in Lewes once, seemed an awful lot longer. They say you are never more than 8ft away from a Rat, in Lewes, you are never more than 8ft from a pint of luke warm Harvey's, now that's really frightening !

 

[Dirk Lehmann's Python]

Agreed. Not convinced Savannah know how to handle ale. Same for Orange Square. Idlewild only ever do a bad Harveys and the less said about the Star the better

No because it made no difference to me as contrary to belief I do not use them but you cannot argue with my post of the worthlessness of such a survey. It was no doubt the brain wave of the chairman of the council who happens to be a partner in a bar down there. I spoke to Tim Martin about it and he told me the building is in a deplorable state and the cost of renovation plus taking the council to court, and winning, which he usually does was too great for the returns envisaged so settled on BHill instead. He didnt feel in HH they could take £30K a week which is his usual target on opening a pub. It then gets adjusted according to the trade generated.

If you don't vote then you can't complain about the result when others do

I wasnt asked my opinion. It appears those asked where those that had most reason to say No.

 

[Dirk Lehmann's Python]

Calm down for goodness sake

If i could vote when i'm from hove i thought a local would make the effort! If you made an effort to be better informed you would have known about the vote.

You appear to live in Littlehampton did you know their council asked Spoons to go into the building vacated by Courts and offered them 10 years rent free to do so. That is fact from the horses mouth.
