The "Boy From The Baum" no longer
I'm sorry to report that The Baum suffered a hostile takeover by Simon's ex wife on Monday.
Not only will I not be ordering the beer anymore I don't have a local either.
The only positive is that a lot of people will eventually realise what a complete and utter bitch she is.
RIP The Baum, it'll never be the same again.
25 years of being my local comes to a very sad end.

Holy crap! I'm so sorry matey.
Any chance of a reduced price buy-back after custom falls off a cliff?
Sorry to hear that, The Baum was on my hit list for a long time, but I never got around to visiting...

Also sorry to hear that Rob. I managed a visit back in January during a brief Northern sojourn so at least managed to see it in its pomp.

Serious commiserations ,that's awful news.Without your sage advise I would imagine the pubs falls from grace with be swift and dramatic.I'm sorry to report that The Baum suffered a hostile takeover by Simon's ex wife on Monday.

Obviously very bad news but weren’t it’s days numbered due to business rates rises?
Commiserations! Is anyone starting a book on how long before it closes?
I don't really have a "local" as all the ones I go to are a bus and/or tube ride away. I could walk to the Bell but a bus is quicker.
I used to go to the Chingford JDW a lot but after a change of management it went downhill so stopped going and I've heard it's now even worse. The price difference between JDW and the two E17 pubs I go to is over £1.50 a pint so I'm never likely to adopt either as a "local".
Sad news.
