Hooton Hotel, Hooton

Has been boarded up and fenced off for a few years. No sign that it will ever reopen.

The Jug and Bottle, Heswell

I was prevented from entering the Jug & Bottle twice in the last 5 weeks due to not having booked a table. Most pubs have now relaxed Covid-19 restrictions but clearly the Stange & Co pub group have not. I'll be interested to see if they maintain this charade as Christmas approaches.

The Johnny Pye, Heswall

The pub did reopen (see previous post) but the couple who ran it didn't last long before they disappeared and the pub closed again. Now under a temporary manager.
Very few punters last Friday night and some of them were clearly the worse for wear.
Some of the previously barred local idiots were back in.
No real ales available instead of the usual 4 from the Marston's stable.
Badly needs a permanent, experienced manager who can get this place back on track after several years in a downward spiral.
