As from Wednesday they and there family's are the new landlords of the millhouse.

Cameron's brewery just bought it back from S&N two months ago and have spent around £75K refurbishing it , it is VERY smart inside now, everything in the bar is brand new, flooring, bar and back bar, seating, pool table, digi jukebox, 42'' plasma TV screens (Sky coming very soon) and all new wall decorations.
The lounge has just had a good lick of paint, new carpet, new bar and back bar, 42'' plasma TV (coming for Sky) and still to be added this week, a whole load of Pools stuff.
The brewery approached me and our lass to take it on 'cos they want to make it a proper football pub and they headhunted us based on what we used to have down the Jacksons Wharf, the difference this time is that it will be fully aimed at home fans.
Me and her couldn't afford to do it on our own so Nobby and their lass have come in as business partners .
Our main objective is to make it a proper old fashioned type pub, with reasonable prices where people can come, not just on a matchday but any day and sit drink and have a chat, watch tv/sport, read the paper all without having to spend an arm and a leg but still being in decent surroundings. How many pubs are there left like that in the town ?
We will be open before the game on Friday (actually we'll be open Wed night but we'll just be familiarizing ourselves) if you fancy popping in to have a look, please don't think I'm just trying to get you in for any reason other than I thought you might be interested AND impressed.
We've got the press and a few Brewery bigwigs coming around 6 on Friday, you might get your very ugly mug in the paper.
Pop in guys and have a look i will be. :grin:

Is it going to have all of the Sky and Setanta footie on?

Since the No Rarfs changed hands I've been on the look out for a decent proper pub to watch footie now and again as a change from watching at home.

Good luck! Dave did a good job down the Jacksons Wharf so the omens look good. Would like to see a Strongarm on handpull in there though. What are the opening hours? work just around the corner , so may pop in one lunchtime. Any plans for non matchday trade?

As soon as possible which should be within a couple of weeks, the TV in the lounge might not be in, in time for Friday but it's coming.

We will try and give you a price list, for the main drinks anyway, as soon as possible on here.

MutleyRules · **Posted:** Wed Sep 10, 2008 1:04 am

Good luck to all!!!! :coool:

I was only saying the other week....(after I seen it was getting done up)....to people at work that we should start going in there again after finishing work!!!! :coool:

Let's just hope that the Brewery doesn't dictate the prices!!!! :evil:

This is a Bunker joke, isn't it? so I'm not going to bother to decode it.

MutleyRules · **Posted:** Wed Sep 10, 2008 12:05 pm

I think it's got something to do with these two....

Well done Dave and Nobby. And their wonderful ladies as well.

I already feel welcome in my new local.

You're far too demure to understand the sexist undertones of Mr R's comment. :grin:

Glad to hear it, never been in the Millhouse for about 15 years. May pop in one Saturday before a game.

I'm glad you've arrived at last. Everyone is being very silly and the Song Title thread's been sabotaged

Balou's song from Bellows?

I didn't get the song 2 one until I realised you had turned the number 2 (that's going to give someone a chance for a link to tree s*** thread) into the word two. banghead

grabec · **Posted:** Wed Sep 10, 2008 4:32 pm

Well, the first was just a soundalike. Bit defeatist, I agree, but I thought that was allowed? :uhoh:

Good Luck Codyakker And Nobby.
