Marstons selling off 61 pubs. Their fall from grace continues.
List includes the famous Crooked House and near me the White Lion which is so busy you even have to book a table for Monday lunchtimes.
Zero for me.
Same here.

Just Bridge Inn This is a cracking pub, and I hope it falls into sympathetic hands. Back in 1976 or thereabouts, I visited Derwent Walk Inn , but I remember very little of it, apart from the fact that it was one of the very few Co Durham pubs selling real ale.

Climate emergency...cost of living crisis...Ukraine...and now this.
Even less taste.

5 of those at a glance plus one in Cardigan I ran out of time to do! Mainly locals boozers by the looks of it which I suppose no longer fit into the 'fatten-up and flog-off' trajectory it feels like Marstons are on.
Crooked House felt very perfunctory when I went, here's hoping that this actually allows it flourish under different ownership.
...and no doubt it'll prolong its already 'UHT' longlife profile, meaning that pubs will be even more inclined to stock it, to reduce waste.
