January 9, 200917 yr '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.

January 28, 200917 yr Pub officially up for sale. I'm considering my options.Mek sure the Guiness is good if you go ahead.
January 28, 200917 yr Pub officially up for sale. I'm considering my options.What's your options Denzel? you know anything said on this forun will be kept in the strictest confidence, unless you want us to tell folk then it will stop the rumours
January 29, 200917 yr 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
January 31, 200917 yr Mek sure the Guiness is good if you go ahead. I'd partition it and the snug would be renamed 'Pete's'.
