| Unfortunately the current bin location is the only practical one. I know it does not look great when approaching the pub and I am constantly looking for an alternative site for them. As for the garden I am currently looking at getting the area landscaped in a similar way as to the other side of the bridge by the flats, and also to add some nice potted plants etc in time for the spring/summer. If anyone knows any good landscape gardening - tell them to pop into the pub and ask for me to discuss what can be done. I would still love to meet with a group from the flats & see what I can do for you. I am seeing more & more coming for Sunday Lunch, the Weds quiz etc, but would love some more input from you guys. Also we now have a screen showing the 6 nations so come and join in & sample our famous William Morris Liberty Ale. Thanks James Jameswm - 8 Feb 2010 20:06 |
| Bernie, Sadly we can only agree :( Think it's a work in progress at the moment. Somebody's got to sort out the refuse situation on the market and get rid of those bins. Smell bad, look bad, just plain wrong. Can't think of another pub that store bins and junk in all areas visible to the public. Could be as good as the Rose & Crown in the village if only they spent just a bit more cash. I'd plant some Evergreens & Dogwood on the patch of land by the bridge & erect some temp wood posts to stop the rust buckets tearing up the earth & newly planted shrubs whilst they get established. Market Manager's vision is a culture vacum that will never venture beyond a bouncy castle & car boot sale but we still think the William Morris can give the market a badly needed adrenalin shot. Go on James show 'em what you can do. Couple days work with a spade and some planting would add to those twinkly lights Bernie likes :) £300 quid would do it - Homebase have got all you need within walking distance in their garden section!

| Thirsty after our river walk from Morden Hall. Walked over the new footbridge with plans to visit this pub. First impressions: some broken fridges abandoned on the mud & grass, bald christmas trees, litter, plastic & cardboard strewn about and a great rusty old van (Mama Mia or something) sinking into mud. Kitchen doors open to all, huge bins out the front, overflowing. To finish it off metal beer kegs stacked like baked bean cans outside front of pub. My husband Reg decided we'd go elsewhere. Maybe it's nice inside but a shame no care or attention has been given to the appearance as you approach from the river to draw in us thirsty customers. Maybe next time will be a good day and all will be well. The twinkly lights on the eaves looked lovely though. Bernie BernadetteB - 2 Feb 2010 14:00 |
| I visited the William Morris for the first time last night since, ooooh, well, that last time I tried to go in in September. Things have certainly improved - three ales on handpull. One Adnams Broadside and the other two from the Westerham Brewery - the latter of which were in great condition, and the Special Pale Ale was really good. The tables were clean and not sticky like they once were. And the bar service was prompt and efficient - which must be the first time ever in all the years I've tried drinking there. You never know - I may be back. And it's been a long time since I would have said such a thing! bods - 13 Jan 2010 10:29 |
| Max84 - Following your comments I have arranged for removal of the offending clutter, which will take place Tuesday 15th Dec. Having recently taken on the pub, I agree that it should be a cherished local for you the residents of the flats. I am open to your suggestions on what would be required to make the place more appealling to you and your fellow residents. Therefore I would like to suggest a meeting with yourself and any other fellow residents interested. This would also give the opportunity to sample our new range of beers which have recently been introduced. If you would like meet please drop by the pub and we can arrange a suitable time in the near future. I eagerly await your correspondence. Kind Regards James Jameswm - 13 Dec 2009 22:04 |
