The Brewers Pride, Ossett

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.
One of the most difficult things to deal with in life is change.
OK, so 'fings ain't wot they used to be'. (According to some) and perhaps they are right.
I have seen changes, some good, some not so good but in all aspects of life there has to be change. Change is evolution and that is the situation at the Brewers right now.
Speculate as you will, only time will tell if Sally and Jon have gone in the right direction.
For me, and I will stand up and be counted, I'm Steve Stocks, aka Songara, I shall continue to drink at what has to be the best pub in the Northern Union and no, I have not eaten at the restaurant. I believe it to be a little too expensive for what is on offer but this is very subjective.
Let Sally and Jon get on with their new venture but please remember it is still a great pub selling a fantastic range of real ales (thats great coming from me, a bloke who only drinks cider and dark beer).
Let's see what happens in the next twelve months.

The Rugglestone Inn, Widecombe in the Moor

I had the great honour of visiting this fine establishment on many occasions in the 1970's when the proprietor was an amazing lady called Audrey. The barreled drinks were all gravity fed and were kept in a side room (pantry)and the customers sat in what may only be described as the sitting room. It was a locals beer and cider house not often visited by the thousands of tourists who came to visit Widecombe in search of Tom Pearce and his grey mare!. They generally went to 'The Olde Inn' in the village. The name says it all. There were some wonderful characters to be met, especially a local called Peter Hicks who had some wonderful stories to tell. That was a long time ago and it would seem, by the comments, that the current owners have strived to keep that wonderful ambience going.

The Brewers Pride, Ossett

I think Mr Geezer may have hit the nail on the head. As it says in a leaflet from the management 'The times they are a'changing'. And to 'Gillybean'-20 Oct 2006, It's going to continue to be a dog-friendly pub, but as I understand it, only till the restaurant opens in the evening and the live music/family area will double as the restaurant with children only allowed up to a certain time. It will be interesting to see how this will impact on how many bums on seats there will be when Woody or Tim do their bit to entertain us for free. My rating is for the old BP.
