Well there you are, the strength of feeling for this West Wessex pub is demonstrated by the amount of pros and cons offered on this site. For those who will return I wish them well, for others who have found another watering hole, like my wife and I, it won't make any difference as we now prefer the warmth and atmosphere of another in Halnaker.

vknight00,
nightrider1 is definately not Brian and if you look at my posts, I have not stated anything detrimental about The Gribble Inn just the facts.
The lease for the pub Iis featured on the H&W website as being for sale. That is irrefutable, ergo The Stones are wanting to leave. That is their choice and I was just stating that which is true. I reiterate that I am not Brian.

vknight00 (Vanessa),
I doubt the residents of Highfield Road Oving would concur with your opinion of them. However, as the lease of the Gribble is now up for sale (see my earlier link) your enthusiastic support is probably fruitless. There's enough comment on this site for viewers to make up thier own minds and maybe smile at the punctuation, spelling and grammar of the various posters.

Take your point Crofton, but the brewery has to regain an awful lot of lost trade, brewer on three day week etc. AND that rental!! �XXXX.XX a month outgoing before you even start on the other overheards, unless there's a big renegotiation that is. Mr J will be sorry to see a change in tenancy, or maybe there's an opening there.

The Gribble Inn, Oving
Hi contrymember,
The latest update is that the Stones have been asked by Hall & Woodhouse to stay on at The Gribble . The brewery have a number of other premises which they are finding difficulty to let and I guess if the Stones leave, they may find getting new ones not that easy, the economic climate being what it is.
The good news is that talks are still going between H&W and a well liked and experienced local pub landlord who is keen to take on the Gribble. Crofton and others will know who this is.
Regards,
