Ms Hair Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 'whats the point of staying open when no one goes! makes sense!'How can anyone go though if it isn't open?? They are missing the passing trade. Clsoing your doors is like giving up. They need to try and compete or work together with the pubs that actually have customers to draw in more trade. Bedlington needs the people who live there to actually use the amenities it has then perhaps we would see an improvement. The pubs need sprucing up, better customer service, a better choice of drinks, more strict door policies and some bloody oomph and business acumen from the owners! I did my dissertation on the Sun Inn a few years ago, even then it was a disgrace how many basic business principles had been overlooked and it has less customers now than then.

rachael Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Mek sure the Guiness is good if you go ahead. all the lines and pumps (especially the guiness) will need ripping out and replaced for anything good to come out of it. someone needs to do something with the place. desperately. maybe if the right person gets it, it'll mean a turnaround for the rest of bedlington, what with it being the centre point of the town. good luck if you do go for it Denzel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
