Apparently we have lost a few regular customers to the Walmer Castle - boo!!!!!
It would seem that there was an incident with the girl behind the bars toothless boyfriend and they all decided to go else where?????!!!!! She was also spotted snogging him when she should have been serving drinks?? Whatever next!!!!!!! Perhaps they should have just said "excuse me love, if you've finished we like to be served", or perhaps they could have just told the gummy bloke to f*** off if he was annoying them. Problem now is that the takings are down (again!!). Well if the pub shuts these so called regulars can take the blame because by walking instead of sorting they have added another nail in the coffin.

Popped in for a drink and all seemed much the same. Same old farts at the bar - same faces behind the bar - ladies darts match going on - and everyone seemed happy enough. Give the new managers a chance you lot!!!!

Well didn't you just know this would happen. I hope the stock taker is proud of himself. Yet again accepted his usual bribe and got rid of probably the most successful managers in a long time. Mr Pendry & co should be ashamed. Not only does this affect peoples livelihoods it also affects us regular customers who have supported this pub through thick & thin. If only one of those sacked by the Pendry clan had paid for their own stocktaker before they left then both Pendry and his lackeys would be on trial for fraud!!! What sort of a business is he running. This pub could be an absolute goldmine and Richard & Sharon proved that you can still take money even when many pubs are closing. Forget the history of the pub (we know it was John & Sue Pendry's first pub) and sort out this sorry mess!!!!!

Heard the latest manager has been asked to leave. Not surprised at all they have turned the pub into a drug den.

Heard that the owner is up his usual tricks with the dodgy stocktaker!!!! Let's hope Richard & Sharon don't walk away as they are the best thing that's happened to this pub in years.

Dreadful atmosphere in this pub. Will never go there again under the current management. No different to the old Spread Eagle now - what a shame!!!

Everything going well at the Montreal. Richard & Sharon have done a good job creating a friendly and inviting atmosphere. Still needs a make over though!! The pub is thriving again, against the odds in these days of no smoking and higher prices. But we all have a good time despite the neighbours from hell!!!!

Greg & Jemma now gone - had a baby who is lovely. Jeffrey is now in charge and not doing a bad job. More people coming in which is good. Pub still in need of a major refurb but don't expect that will happen any time soon.

Alan has gone. Perhaps the pub will now get back to the decent pub it used to be!!!

Pub up for sale yet again! Think that Greg & Gemma should make an offer & take in on themselves. Then they can put their ideas into practice and not be held back all the time.

Thank God someone has come along to rescue our pub. Greg & Jemma are a fun loving couple who are working hard to get the Montreal back on the map. And it's actually clean!! Even the carpet!! Long may she reign.
Lot's of things up & coming in the next few weeks so let's all enjoy the fun.

Our dear old Mont is in need of some tender loving care. Why is it being left to rot? I agree with Salvador that it has got cleaner in recent weeks but surely someone loves it enough to bring it back to its former glory. The owner has it up for sale and has just reduced the price again for a quick sale. It has always been a traditional locals pub, and it should be kept this way. We don't need it to change we just need it to be loved!!!

The Montreal Arms, Brighton
What's going on now!! Are Gordon & Helen staying or going? Thought they were doing OK considering the general lack of customers. Still got the darts teams and bar billiards team and the Friday nite singalong!!
