My money's on an indian restaurant


Unlikely as there are very few Indians living in the vicinity,mainly Pakistani ,Bangladeshi,Afghani.

A remarkable conclusion. How did you come up with that?
I think you may find that Indian restaurant is a generic name and most  if not all of these establishments are operated by Pakistanis  and Bangalis.

You are almost correct. Not a restaurant more of a Big John type of place with spice!

Do I win £10?

Sorry Des no money but I will buy  you a chicken tikka nan  roll if I meet you in the vicinity of VP this season.

The chap who owns/owned the Edward is doing it up as a pub. That's what one of those lovely barmaids said towards the end of last season.

I thought it was the Yew Tree he'd bought?

Anyone know what The Brittannia is nowadays ? I walk past on a matchday the windows are all blacked out but it seems to be a cross between a Sikh Temple and a curry house. Maybe a hybrid, blueprint for the future ?

Sounds like she meant the Tavern.

Maybe the barmaids at the Eddy aren't too clever. You can't have everything.

Are you talking about the derelict pub between the villa leisure centre & the church ?
That place has been derelict for years, not sure it would be structurally sound enough to renovate ? Nice view of the flyover from the bedrooms mind

A rebuild of the Aston Tavern is part of the regeneration scheme that knocks down the ASC and Eddie. Or so someone said on the thread about it recently.

If it was then someone has gone to an awful lot of trouble drawing up detailed plans for it.
