Chaplins pub

[Kingdom Bhoy]

Is now out of administration and has been taken over by Lorraine Griffiths ( Tonys Mrs ) and businees woman Debra Woods.
Big advert about it in todays Sunderland Echo.

This is good news! Always like the place

 

[Freddie the Greek]

Good, I'm not a regular but it'd be sad to see the pub go.

Not surprised or bothered that Varsity closed, it was abysmal.

Are they going to sort out the smell from the bogs?

Funily enough they didn't menton that in the piece in the echo !

 

[Kid Galahad]

Good news, often pop in for the odd pint, good bar staff in there so pleased for them, and aye the bogs aren't ower clever but it stops the lurkers !

 

[Some Random Guy]

Glad, canny bar for a beer or two befor the match.

Always nice to see a older bar being kept. Hopefully can make it more sustainable. Not surprised or bothered about Varsity going the journey though, shite.

The piece in the Echo gives a good insight into its history re the Ablion and before that.

It does stink near the bog but it's a canny pub imo

As long as they don't turn it into another Ttonic, Glass Spider or whatever.

You hang about the blokes bogs long enough for it to effect you?

The smell troublesome when you're sucking punters off?

They've got the kiss of death that lot like.
Their previous bars and pubs put Sunderland back ten years due to them not having a clue.

 

[Kingdom Bhoy]

Jerome Dagg is never out of the place !

 

[West Ryder]

Nice pub. Will now go to the shitters. They've no idea how to run a pub like that.

Mark my words they'll have shot girls in on home games.

Ttonic remaing open for so long would suggest otherwise.

Very naive of you
They took the finance on offer and then left behind the debt.
Since the company went bust, both his son and now his missus have opened bars,
They still have money to fund these business ventures so are not destitute.

If I remember rightly, when the company went bust he made a statement to the ECHO from Thailand where he was on holiday !

I couldn't give a shit about the financial side of things, what I'm saying is that they haven't got a clue about what makes a bar great. Tacky little people.

It's not their bogs marra, it's the stink all the way from the Ivy's netties.
