Bunch of tossers.

Yup.

Accompanying picture taken in the Nags Head before they flogged it on the quiet. Bunch of tossers.

I assume you mean the Reading one, what's the story? Surely the Nags Head wasn't part of a chain?
My only known experience of Admiral is that they shut a perfectly good pub in Chingford Hatch which became a care home for coffin dodgers, mot a JDW I hasten to add.

Quinno will know more than me, and correct me if I'm wrong but Admiral were the owners and cocked up from their point of view (everybody else's gain) by giving the Nags a free of tie lease, they have now sold on the lease (on the quiet at the time) to an individual who has left the pub to run on as before,or more likely can't do anything for the duration of the lease which I think has something like around 5 years left on it, what happens after that we will have to see.

Thanks for the explanation, most of the pubs in my area are Enterprise but two (the Bell and Rose & Crown) are able to sell almost whatever they want. You would think that these pubcos and regional brewers would learn a lesson from places like this. Instead they just spout out a load of meaningless drivel about themselves aka "Marketing Speak".

Those pubs will have had to pay a hefty fee to be free of tie.Sometimes its added to the price they pay for beer or in the case of the Bree Louise (about 5 years ago) they had to pay £30,000 up front to get a free of tie beer lease.

I'm not surprised they have 100 million in their back pocket with the prices they charge.
