There will no doubt be quite a few good ones dotted around. They wouldn't be so successful if they didn't have appeal to a lot of people. Don't think they would appeal to so many if they werecall like Admiral Of The Humber though.
I quite liked the first one I went into in Cheltenham? Was on a Bruce Massey coach. Was called the Postal Order. I couldn't believe how cheap it was and it was a really relaxed atmosphere, before all the towny ****s cottoned on to Wetherspoons.
The ones I mentioned were very good. Only went in as nearby places were packed but would not mind going in them if I lived round there. The food in the Warwick one was very good from all accounts and in a good setting.
Haven't be in the Henley on Thames one but I would think the pubnpart is better. Know a lad in my pub who stayed in Admiral when it first had rooms when he was doing a job in Hul and he was impressed with them. Drank elsewhere though.
I see him around town occasionally, on lunches although not recently as I've worked from home. Always seems happy and doing well with work
The Scarborough one was nothing to write home about though it is a long time since I was in there so it may have improved, which would not have been difficult.
When the bridge was washed away in Tadcaster. Smith wouldn’t allow a temporary footbridge to be put up on his brewery land to allow people access. He’s a bit of a cock.
I live in a market town with a Sam Smith's pub that Humphrey visited over 3 years ago. On seeing lads placing bets on their mobiles and running in and out of the bookies over the road he laughed his head off and closed it down the next day. It's still there, derelict, waiting for the multi-millionaire landowner to make his next move. It's quite funny really, unless you're on the receiving end of his lunacy... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...e-save-10-mile-trip-Cue-rising-tide-fury.html
