| Now called the Colston Yard. Very good,though a little sterile. 3 Butcombe brews,London Pride,Gem and a monthly guest,Januarys was Tring. Pleasant staff. No complaints. an_ecunemical_matter - 2 Feb 2008 13:06 |
| As downender states, Butcombe have indeed applied for a licence. See the Bristol and District CAMRA branch's website for more details. Things are on the up. Let's hope the Three Sugar Loaves re-opens soon too. CJG - 7 Jun 2007 13:37 |
| There is now a notice on the window of the gutted brewery tap stating that Butcombe has applied for a license. Be interesting to see what they come up with. They certainly have a blank canvas to work with. downender - 1 Jun 2007 20:28 |
| This was a superb outlet that in its heyday not only served a good range of Smiles beers brewed in the yard behind, but also won an national award for pub design for its cosy, traditional and yet appealing-to-all interior in 1991. Despite its popularity, and despite the fact that Smiles finally went into receivership in 2005, plans were afoot to create a new microbrewery at the rear. However, hopes of any sensitivity in redeveloping the place were dashed in the Summer, when the owners surroptitiously sneeked a bulldozer in and tore the award-winning interior apart, leaving nothing but a wreck. They are claiming it is still part of grand design to re-open, but I suspect deviousness and foul-play here. Why demolish a pub beyond recognition? Might it be declared as unviable if they try and sell it as a going concern and they will simply turn the whole premises into yet more flats? Time will tell, but it is a huge loss to the local community, and not only the ale-drinkers. RIP. TWG - 17 Oct 2006 17:35 |
| I walked past yesterday and it appears to now be closed...unless the piles of rubble I spied through the window are some sort of radical new design feature?! iyers - 28 Jul 2006 14:29 |
