I have a pint in the Manor Tavern. A bit of a spot and saw dust pub, but it's alright for a quick pint.

Forgot The Guild Arms

Bartons or Sacred Heart are my choices on the odd occasion I drink before a game. Bartons is nicer but a bit of a walk.

The Sacred Heart is going down that horrible road the Aston Hotel went down by playing mind numbing loud music after the match when all people want is a few drinks and a chat about the game. Don't understand why they do this.

To stop people having to talk about the game.

Has anyone been up the villa tavern when they had one of them strange mod / ska disco things with the odd wurzels  song thrown in for good measure. All a bit odd .

Think it`s closed down, rumour was that it`s gonna be a womens refuge centre (aint that a sign of the times).

I think it's quite sad all these pubs are disappearing .

Very, forget "social media",  society is getting more isolated by the year, so many kids these days interact with nothing other than a keyboard (he writes on a Dell keyboard!).

It's sad that pubs are disappearing but at least a lovely old building like the Aston Hotel is staying intact.

Some of the stonework and tiling to the external facade is wonderful. Particularly the Brittannia figurine at roof level.
