We used to use the pub regularly and it was one of the reasons we decided to buy on St Germans Road. I know the old manager had a hard time of it, but it didnt offer what we need - I got fed up of my husband moaning about the c**p beer and being served a "latte" (nescafe mixed with milk and served with a straw). I'm sure with some hard work and style the pub would a great success again. I would love to run it but Id find it hard not to drink/eat the profits away...

Nellienoodle expressed an interest in running a pub - that's the best idea I've heard all week. Together with her husband, they'd run the best pub in se23!


Really? Aren't they more likely to join the army of "have-a-go publicans" with no actual experience in the business, who then lose their life savings? And doesn't Lewisham's policy of keeping pubs open encourage this, also undermining the profitability of professionally run pubs?
