Application gone in for a micropub at Danson parade, by the petrol station in Blendon. Fair catchment area there with only the Blackbirds in walking distance
I normally like that site and find myself nodding along in the main, but this comment is a bit shitty.
"It’s a bittersweet moment. Antic tried in Woolwich where no one else did.
Sure the likes of Youngs open places but few others try in the “old” Woolwich. And Youngs are often so very boring."
So, someone else has tried in Woolwich, but I only like the sort of pubs I like and so anything else I'm just going to ignore/dismiss. In this day and age a pub is a pub and we should be thankful there are still some left that the developers haven't got their hands on!
I thought the whole thing was a bit odd - the idea that a pub at that end of Woolwich was somehow silly, because not all the housing had been built. A decent pub is a decent pub, and will normally draw in the punters. If a pub operating company thinks it can make it work, why is it a silly idea.
