Dave the kitchen manager & Simon a shift manager both from The Regal Moon in Rochdale are part of the team opening up the Todmorden one.

I was talking to Dave on Sunday and he told me that they were picking up the keys yesterday to start the prep for opening on 22/07/2011.

Should be a good start for the pub with all their experience.

No doubt we'll be visiting after the Tod beer fest in September if not before.

Best of luck guys

Agreed, they seem to have sent an advance party to Waterlooville prior to the conversion of a large shop into one, recently we have had Poundland, a pawn shop, payday loan shop plus two tattoo parlours open

Still no sign of the 'imminent' Lloyds Bar for Wakefield's Unity Hall, or the rumoured venue in Ossett, come to that.

judging by the time it took to open the Otley and Ripon outlets I wouldn't hold your breath.

Britain's best pub boss

If you've ever wondered why all of Wetherspoon's pubs sell real ale, don't play music and turn down the noise made by the fruit machines to avoid annoying the rest of the customers, Martin is the person to thank.
