| Some 20 odd years ago i did my OE to the UK and was lucky enough to live and work at Crocker Folly. I was surely shocked to return and find it boarded up and no longer the icon it once was. I have precious memories of my time here. Thank you to Lynne and Peter Cox (the managers at the time) for being great people to work for and for watching over me.To the work mates and patrons i met thank you for shaping me into the person i am today. I am truly blessed and honored to be a part of Crocker's History. And Yes I remember Big Tony!!! Thank you Kiwi Chris the Cook kiwi.chris - 30 Aug 2009 22:49 |
| I had my wedding reception here, great pub, lovely decor, this area has lost a little gem. Any one remember big Tony (rip) gus_grizwald - 8 Apr 2009 01:10 |
| I was there this morning and took a couple of pics, it's not boarded up like the last time I saw it, but it doesn't appear to be open for business (as there was no licencees name above the door) either although people seem to be living there. It would probably also explain why I saw 2 Maroush vans parked on the pavement outside, being blocked in because of people going to Lord's for the cricket. phillper0906 - 28 Jun 2008 18:58 |
| I noticed the same as ianbeer yesterday and searched the web for more info. "Property Week" of 25.10.02 reported that: "Marouf Abouzaki... said he was also opening a Maroush in Aberdeen Place off Edgware Road, having bought the freehold to the Crocker's Folly pub for £3m." So the writing has been on the wall for five years! Explains why they stopped trying, doesn't it? John_R - 23 Jan 2008 12:58 |
| The boards were off the windows on 30th Nov' and people were looking around inside. There was a van outside that belongs to a well known Lebanese restaurant. I wonder if this could be a clue to the future. ianbeer - 13 Dec 2007 21:20 |
