Just wondering, but will they have to dig it all up again to replace the lamp posts?

It is being fully refurbished by owners Star Pubs and Bars (the Heineken owned and re-branded Scottish and Newcastle group). According to the designers it will be a very contemporary pub, but will retain its community feel. It it will, for example, keep the pool table. I forgot to ask if they are pl...

It seems that during the long period in recent years with very little snow most of us have forgotten the common courtesy of sweeping away the snow from the pavement in front of our houses. Obviously best done before a freeze so let's get out there with a shovel.

There is another factor in all this. Both The Dolphin and The Golden Lion, like thousands of other pubs in this country, are owned by Enterprise Inns a huge pub company.

I agree with Juwlz. Don't know about the Gents but the Ladies are very clean and new with a marvellous mural. And did you notice that drinks are served in 35ml rather than the standard 25ml.? That is quite a lot bigger. They wouldn't serve me a double!
