| My grandad was born in this pub Thanks for taking abother bit of my family history away from me. Like Spitalfields Market/now Lakeside centre for shopping. arran_goodchild - 8 Aug 2007 12:32 |
| Knocking this pub down was the end of an era. Despite a huge public outcry, the council decided to knock it down and make way for parking space for the vehicles used for the construction of a new unneeded shopping centre. I spent many a great night in the arms, christmas eve has not been the same since. Despite the tv being nothing more than a portable, the place was packed for world cups. The juke box was legendary and had some superb music. the brewery mismanaged this great place and allowed itself to be bullied by the council. There are occssional Arms reunions in the celbic hall in lancaster road, but its not the same. The last night was emotional, yes its only a pub and the toilets were terrible but the staff were fantastic. Sadly missed. clarkie10 - 15 Nov 2006 11:28 |
| Dispite the blatent under aged drinking, myself and friends at the time, this pub had a good atmosphere and was cheap. The pool table was ok, and the garden/patio was quiet. The live bands and jukebox has to be the highlight. Led Zep tribute bands on a friday kept the oldies rockin', most of whom have migrated to the Kings Head or the Hop Poles. I still dont see why it needed to be knocked down, Enfield town is going to become a large concrete maze of one way systems. anonymous - 16 Jul 2006 00:11 |
| very disappointed to see this old gem has been shut down, i (Harry) ran the bar for a while back in the days when Matt and Donna were in charge must be 94/95 around that time, and it was by a an absolute street the best pub in the area. Cracking mix of really diverse characters young and old all getting along just fine , have some great memories of that time. Amongst too many to mention I'll always remember Rob and Fletch, who used to come in the afternoons absolute legends, i'm fairly sure i actually soiled myself laughing at those guys on a number of occasions. What a Brewery cock up to let this place go. UncleJesse - 12 Jul 2006 13:35 |
| Ok, I know that this place has been closed for over a year now and that I should be over it and that nobody is actually reading this anymore, but... Going by the site where this magnificent pub used to stand still upsets me. Now there are only ugly wooden boards surrounding what seems to be an equipment storage area for the builders working on the new Shopping Centre expansion; the advent of which sealed the Arms' fate. The brewery decided to sell up and let the building be demolished instead of moving one of the walls back a couple of feet or so to allow the expansion of the road as part of the Town Centre's wonderful new and improved one-way system introduced to cope with the anticipated influx of out-of-towners visiting the new shopping mecca. Now, what have we got? Worse traffic congestion than before and no decent pub with the same mixture of characters that populated the Arms to moan about it all to over a few pints with some top quality tunes playing over the jukebox, that's what! If that's progress you can stick it firmly and squarely up your backside. It makes me want to weep and causes my blood to boil just thinking about it. Will somebody with some money please, please open up a pub similar to this somewhere near Enfield as soon as possible? I am suffering from withdrawal symptoms. Still cheers for the memories.
