Hobgoblin pubs to disappear?

Used to enjoy going to the Hobgoblin in Oxford. Got CAMRA discount there and good ales and food. It did look a student pub, wooden floor and basic furniture, but always liked going in there. Now called St Algates I believe, and we still call in when in Oxford.

It is now called the St. Aldates Tavern Gill but unfortunately is closed and has been for 3 or 4 months. Not sure what is going to happen to it but hopefully it will re-open.
Like you I used to enjoy going in there when it was the Hobgoblin and for a time it was my 'local' in town. The landlord and landlady (Andy and Pam) were tremendous hosts and ran a superb pub. Andy went on to start up the White Horse brewery which is doing very well.

Run by a mad Welsh bloke. Genius.
