My fears from earlier this year were unfounded. The pub has reopened and yesterday punters were sat outside in the beer garden as I passed.

Greene King have been boarding up a lot of their pubs for security reasons during Covid-19

Don't know what has happened here. Was trading normally a couple of months ago but now every window is boarded up. Something more than the Coronavirus shutdown?

Currently closed for a refurbishment. The outside has been looking shabby for a couple of years. Let's hope it's still as popular when it reopens.

I went for a walk on the adjacent Thurstaston Hill yesterday in blazing sunshine. Fully intended to have a pint at the Cottage Loaf but discovered it was packed. Every one of the outside tables (shown in above photo) was taken and inside was also crowded so I didn't bother. Sunny Sundays must be a godsend for this place! Still at least it's doing well......lots of pubs aren't.

Sat outside this afternoon after a long walk. Had a very acceptable pint of St. Edmunds golden ale.

A 1920's country pub at the side of one of Wirral's major roads and adjacent to a very popular beauty spot. Gets lots of passing trade. Now run by Greene King. Has lots of tables outside and a sizeable car park. More of an eating place rather than a drinking pub.
