JohnQuinn Posted November 16, 2011 Report Posted November 16, 2011 I was 17 years in the pub/club business and its been dying a slow death since the eighties. Great to see the couple doing well with your local Mick but its January to May they have to survive, you'll see a HUGE difference in how busy it is in those months. I wish the owners a Roaring success but experience tells me it'll be a long hard road for them.

Guest homestead Posted November 16, 2011 Report Posted November 16, 2011 lots of pubs in the Didsbury area are empty through the week but 3 years ago it was like Manchester City centre every night. With 2 Tesco stores within 1/2 a mile selling 48 cans for £25 what brewery can compete with that.. I would never have a drink at home a few years ago but its too expensive to go to the local... the brewery's are taxed to the hilt

Guest TAMMY_1 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Posted November 17, 2011 Looks a top place will have to try that out for a holiday ,whats it like sept -oct after the racing season ,Thanks still very busy,there are loads of walkers that come from all over the place to the peak district but most nights it is advisable to book if you want a meal there,weather-wise it is no worse than anywhere else and there are plenty nice holiday cottages at very reasonable rates.
