Think it's only a £1 to get in the Aston hotel isn't it ? Not bad considering it's the closest pub to the ground

The Villa Tavern, Swan & Mitre, Brittania and The King Ed's VII, all beautiful buildings. Real shame if we lose them.

Historically the Aston Hotel could beat them all.
I met my missus in there.

The swan and Mitre's also up for sale too.I imagine they've seen the impending reality of the Aston tavern really eating into their customer base next  season.A shame,I've always liked the vibe in there,despite the 1980's feel to it's surroundings,and it's ideal for those of us North Townies whom use the train.

However,they'll be one 12 year old chuffed to bits,my son detests the place,unfortunately I've made the basic error of meeting his friends in the Holte pub,spoilt forever.However they all love the 'Skerrratchings' fella outside the Trinity too,imitating it perfectly.



Also ideal from us on the train from south of the city.

I was chatting to the gaffer on Saturday, she just says it is the right time for her and her family, it's a shame. Has been on the market for a few weeks but no offers so far.

Does anyone know what The Brittannia is nowadays ? Looks like a curry house judging by some of the signs in the windows but never looks open as such ?

Shame you have to pay to get in. Aston Social is 2 quid and no real ales as well.

I've not been in the Aston Social for ages. The Aston Hotel is fine if you don't mind very loud crap reggae music.
