East Rider 548 Posted February 6, 2019 I believe this has been common knowledge for some time. It has (if my memory is correct) featured before in the local press. However, it's a good pub and very popular, even on match days. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,509 Posted February 6, 2019 Disfunctional family!🙃 I shan't be buying my half of shandy there anymore.

Now I know why I just happened to call in there with 'Er Indoors on Christmas Eve as we were walking home after a couple of drinks in the city. I had not set foot in the place for a good ten years and we bumped into someone we know who told us that the landlord was a Scum season ticket holder. Mind you by this time i had put money in his till. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIL 1010 4,718 Posted February 7, 2019 I think it is kc and as for The Garden House not surprised as the company that own it are part of Enterprise Inns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobLoz3 492 Posted February 7, 2019 Enterprise Inns are an horrendous bunch of money grubbing cowboys! The Garden House was once a great pub. But I'm afraid it has been entirely wasted for the past, probably, 10 years! I used to go in there a fair bit when in my early/mid twenties... about that long ago! It is part of EI under their 'Craft Union' monicker, I believe. They will apparently be opening it again soon, but expect it to be closed AGAIN within about a year as the new victims...ahem... sorry...landlords start to realise that it simply isn't sustainable under the EI rules and restrictions they have to adhere to. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feedthewolf 4,844 Posted February 7, 2019 Been drinking in the Garden House since the early noughties – was always a great pub. The former landlord Oscar used to sponsor our veterans team – EI pulled the plug on him without warning about a week after we'd had our shirts printed with 'Garden House' on the front. Absolute arseh0les. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used to live on Denbigh Road in 2009/10 and it was still a decent pub at that point. Bit spoiled for choice around the Golden Triangle though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have The Brewery Tap, The Stanley, The Artichoke, Duke of Wellington...list goes on! GT gone way downhill for pubs now, in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,578 Posted February 7, 2019 What is the best 'pre-match' pub these days? Ie one within easy walking distance of the ground. I used to go the Horse and Dray near John Lewis car park but not sure it is still open. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
