The Pilot in Sarfwik

[Uncle Spielberg]

The trouble with the Cricketers is that it is full of absolute knob jockey's.

Did that used to be a spanish tapas place?

Yes. A breathtaking view.

The Pilot was an absolute DIVE inhabited by scrotes, thieves and pikeys. It had more raids in there than Dresden in the 40's.

As a rule, if a pub has a giant flag of St George permanently strung up outside, its generally one to be avoided I find.

My sister and her husband used to manage The Pilot about 25 years ago, when it was a decent pub. There were a few rough characters, though.

As for The Windmill, I understand there are plans to build flats on the site. That was one of the first pubs I used to drink in. Real spit 'n' sawdust place in the old days. (Or was that the butchers'?)

The Pilot has had more owners than Palace.

Everyone thinks they can run a pub and The Pilot is cheap enough and prominent enough for people to keep trying to make it work.


The Schooner and The Windmill are the same situation
