| Not been in a pub quite so dilapidated as this for some time. lights broken and people so drunk they couldn't stand. Grim. DudleyC - 6 Apr 2011 10:41 |

| Today (23/6/10) I've just watched a repeat of the old 'Relocation Relocation' programme on More 4 featuring this pub, but I see from the current pub website that Dean Brand and family are no longer running it. Anyone know what happened - it all seemed to be going very well for them. Maybe they've moved on to something bigger and better. classic0904 - 23 Jun 2010 19:04 |
| I want to retract a lot of what I said in my earlier message. I've since been back, and the juke box and live music has returned. The only, slightly, negative thing is the type of juke box they've installed. Your tunes can be superceeded by people who put songs on after you. The order is dictated by where the tunes are on the juke box, rather than when they were put on. As a result, despite there only being 5 people in the pub, I only heard 3 of my chosen 9 songs in the 1.5 hrs I was there. I think the locals have the advantage of experience over me! holsters - 26 Jan 2007 14:26 |
| This used to be the best pub in Sandown, until Dean & Sam took over it One of the first things they did was rip out the juke box, which was the main source of entertainment. Also, they hardly ever have live entertainment any more, when once groups like the 'Tinlids' could be found there every other week. Dean's concentration on food wasn't what this, once quaint, chilled, friendly and entertaining, pub needed. The pub is now a shell of it's former self and the heart has been torn out of the place. holsters - 2 Jan 2007 20:19 |
