    Probably wont be Tesco, the new owners have a deal in place with Co-op. At least it is a bit of variety I guess

    I agree, although recently I wasn't that taken with the beer choice which is probably down to Punch's stewardship.
    Surely a nationally famous pub like this wouldn't be sold for use as anything other than a pub? Are they so stupid that they don't realise there will be massive opposition? I guess that's a rhetorical question.

    A few links about the Roscoe Head and Punch:

    Liverpool Camra on Twitter "To help save @TheRoscoeHead please support any ACV application & oppose any planning application"
    "To help save @TheRoscoeHead if you live in Riverside constituency, write to Louise Ellman MP. Every letter counts."

    Sadly we can't write to this MP unless we're constituents but the pubs minister, Marcus Jones is a different matter,
