| Another missed date. Safety work has to be carried out. bigmagicdog - 1 Dec 2008 11:04 |
| Provisional re-opening date is November 27th 2008. The brewery (scottish & newcastle) are going to refurbish the cellar before then. bigmagicdog - 6 Nov 2008 16:37 |
| The Ship Inn, when it re-opens (end of November?) will be the start and finish point for a lovely Mendip Walk of approx 4 miles. This short and easy going route is at the very eastern end of the Mendips, starting from The Ship in the hamlet of Oldford on the outskirts of Frome. It encompasses country lanes, the River Frome, a scenic golf course and a fine old country mansion built in 1858. The surprise of the circuit is the small church tucked away on an island in Orchardleigh Lake. The walk then follows the southern edge of the lake until meeting a Victorian built temple and an ironwork bridge and returning to the Ship Inn. bigmagicdog - 12 Oct 2008 12:39 |
| Well The Ship is ready to open except that the brewery have a few things to do and I have refused to open until they are done and we want variations to the license so it looks like mid November when we open. In the meantime we can cut back the shrubbery and grass, weather permitting. For your info the pool table will be where the darts were, alongside the bar. The darts now are in situ by front windows, where they used to be, juke box will be reinstalled in centre of bar but speakers are being laid slightly different. Why such a complicated set up on tv and sound wiring..who knows. BUT we are not intalling a tv system until it is feasable. Additionally, no bikers, no gyppo's, no riff raff. This will be a family pub again. Watch this space for an update. bigmagicdog - 8 Oct 2008 17:42 |
| Very pleased to hear that this famous old pub on the Bath side of Frome will open its doors again in the very near future. Wish the new managers the very best of luck and hope to see you when the dust settles Drywillie - 30 Sep 2008 22:36 |
