Some of my family lived in Sidney Street in the 70’s and 80’s and we were regulars to the pub on a Saturday night. I will pay a visit this week. It’s been far too long since I last popped in. Gets my vote!

The Grapes – a much older and shabbier boozer (and probably Landlady..) – but I wouldn’t have had it any other way!

I fought tooth and nail with the odd swear word thrown in for good measure, to keep that tiny little pub as it was when I was managing it on behalf of Taylor Walker and all that followed.
I bought the lease in the end so that more or less got the b******s off my back!! (apart from the stupid amount of rent they wanted..)

Now in the hands of a famous thespian, I no longer control its fate. Your wisdom, I presume, bought you the freehold? You can ensure it remains for future generations and you deserve this accolade for doing so.

Now after reading this I’m will regret not going in there even more. 10,000 miles away now and still missing home.
