Oh dear, just as things were getting better, wham !
Alas the Managers, having started to turn the pub around, were left with no option to leave.
The owners of this establishment expect their managers to live in the upstairs apartment with no central Heating. The dishwasher in the pub broke, it's not been replaced, staff have to wash glasses in a bucket.
Anyone prospective manager wishing to take this pub on, BEWARE. Empty promises from Jan, the owner, are hollow. They are never followed up.
Like to wish Darren & Frank all the best, you did a good job in difficult circumstances. The lack of support you received from the clueless owner says more about her than it does about you.
It's back to crap beer again folks. Good news for the Crown though.

The pub, under new Management team Frank, Darren & Andy, has 'come alive' again. Nice, friendly, welcoming staff.
The beer is very good indeed, the best beer in the High Street now, which is in contrast to the previous landlord, whose beer was quite frankly undrinkable. Customers that had been lost to other pubs are now returning. We never wanted much, just decent beer. We have that again !!!
Thankfully the buckets, that were strategically placed behind the bar, to collect the slops, to then be transferred back through the lines, under the previous regime, have now been removed.
Well done guy's

The Spread Eagle, Rayleigh
New guy took this pub over a couple of months back, alas the guy's a complete knob. Needs to spend less time thinking he's Tommy Toughnuts, a 'doorman wannabe', getting his bumchums from the Paul Pry to throw easy targets out and accusing them of dealing drugs and concentrate on the half dozen regulars that do drugs, everyday, right under his nose !
The plans are to make this another 'Marco's or Lords', thats the audience he's aiming for. Club Eagle, do me a favour ! Oh and someone really ought to tell him that Goatee beards are a really bad idea, especially ginger ones.
