It has won CAMRA awards, for Club of the Year and gets five star reviews: "friendly; helpful staff; good prices; great beer." And its website features one of my photos! (I can't honestly remember if that is with permission or not. I can't say I mind.)
It'd be lovely if a millionaire came along and offered to demolish the pre-fabs and build a replacement, with a similar purpose, that would fit in better with the village's general attractiveness but I don't suppose that's likely to happen. As it is, I'm sure it's fortunate that they have managed to keep going through this pandemic, with all the challenges it has posed for hospitality venues. It probably all runs on a shoestring and they have to be continually innovative to survive. So - well done, I say.
One would not expect such life out of that, at first glimpse.
ReplyDeleteWonderful how places like that survive and thrive. I suppose there will come a day when pre-fabs are considered a quaint part of our heritage and have preservation orders slapped on them - maybe it's happened already.
ReplyDeleteNice that the gathering people just see each other, and somehow ignore the surroundings! It may move to a better spot that already exists since it might just outgrow this one.
ReplyDeleteIt looks fine in that light.
