Was very full yesterday with United in the large main bar and City in the side bar. The Deuchars IPA was poor, but the Black Sheep was OK

Always in for the footie or for a quick pint but still not somewhere I'd go for a night.

My two main gripes would be the number of times the pub has run out of beer recently especially last time during the football when the pub was busy and should have been making a decent sum.

Secondly,cutting staff to save money is fine but try to cater more in the busier times such as footie or quiz night as otherwise people will go elsewhere or drink less but still take advantage of the free footie

It's my local but it's not offering anything more than the railway club at present which is now stocking locally brewed Dunham beers

Beer very much improved of late and a distinct absence of a "chav" element, very enjoyable couple of hours on Saturday afternoon, despite the football scores

Good to hear some positive vibes…..

Admittedly we’ve been in a lot less this year which has coincided with the new management but that has solely been down to lack of funds on our part and not going out at all rather than choosing to drink/spend our money elsewhere.

One of the biggest problems is the lack of "dialogue" between the pub owners/regulars on the one hand and local residents on the other, in terms of

1) Dealing with any issues such as the smoking at the front, general appearance of the pub, introduction of the “chav” element (where did they all used to drink ?) etc
But also
2) Letting people know what’s going on in the pub (the sandwich boards go up sometimes) and that it’s been taken over and will hopefully get better with some local support. Currently it doesn’t look welcoming or inviting and I don’t know of many people who would “chance it” by popping in for a pint or two, so the majority of patrons are “regulars” (I know of a few people who raise their eyebrows when I say I drink in the Gardeners and who think it is a little intimidating).

Perhaps delivering flyers/leaflets to surrounding streets might help, letting people know what’s on offer and also inviting additional suggestions as to how to improve the pub as a whole for the local community, particularly when you’ve almost got a new “community” with the flats at the Bridge being occupied now.

They could do with the opening times up in the window so they can be seen from the street as well as a “What’s On” list to accompany the sandwich board announcements
