Sold for about £950,000. Pub is listed so proposals will be to turn into 4 flats, cottage is going to stay I believe and houses planned for car park area. Not sure if planning agreed yet though.

It was a Dave Day pub, wasn’t it?

Not been in there for years.

Another village loses its last pub. Sad state of affairs.

Had lunch in there a year or so ago. It wasn’t great but closing down seems a bit drastic.

If only there was some kind of correlation.

Pretty sure I've played against Twineham and Wineham. Don't recall playing away though.

Well if other people are much the same as you, i.e. not been there for years, is it any wonder it has closed?

I've lived just across the fields from Wineham for nigh on 30 years, and never ever realised that they had a cricket team .I may even try and take in a game one Sunday this summer!

They are probably using an old proven formula close the pub as being not viable, apply for planning permission that is turned down. They then leave it shut and boarded up for 12 -24 months saying they cannot find a new tenant and let the licence lapse and then re- apply for planning permission and the council are virtually forced to agree to save having an eyesore left standing there.

Dave has been standing there for 12 months ?

No wonder he has to leave at half time

It’s not my custom they’ve lost, if that’s what you’re insinuating!

There’s plenty of pubs I’ve not been to for years that seem to be doing ok! I’m not a one man benevolent fund for all struggling pubs.
