@AnchorHopeCut @LaurentALondres @StokeyLitFest @frankscanteen @PeteBrownBeer I remember the original Victorian horseshoe-shaped one 15 years ago or so. The Jolly Butchers down the road also got rid of theirs in favour of a straight bar. A shame though given internal pub spaces are no longer divided into partioned sections, difficult to justify I guess.

@LaurentALondres @AnchorHopeCut @StokeyLitFest @frankscanteen @PeteBrownBeer Curious to see what, if anything, happens to the kitchen islands :)

@StokeyLitFest @frankscanteen @PeteBrownBeer Thanks! I do wonder though about the atmosphere and other aspects of a pub that make it attractive. The Tea House with its kitchen islands felt more like a restaurant than a pub in some way and given the variety of great pubs we are blessed with I wonder what they’ll do.

RT @julierosebower: @StokeyUpdates The only thing I like about that pub is the hideous carpet which they can’t remove because it is listed

RT @thatretailthing: @FoxN16 @StokeyUpdates I thought it was a pub but upon entering realised I’d actually walked into an N16-style crèche.

@Schopflin @cgrawe Agree!

@Schopflin @cgrawe I tried it a few times when it opened as the Tea House and the beer was either too warm or flat so I gave up. Sitting at the “kitchen islands” felt weird too! I still remember the original oval Victorian wooden bar.. though The Defoe was relatively quiet, even on weekends.

@Schopflin @cgrawe As someone referred to them here a while ago: “Those f*#*#*# kitchen islands!”

@TheeSandbergs Must admit it’s not in my top 10 list of local pubs but it’s still a pub nonetheless despite the latest refurbishment, so the thought it might close for good, if that ever happens is alarming. It’s been there since 1860 and closure was a possibility I was told a few years ago.

@annazaani The fact the council-owned 148-54 SNCS are still incomplete after 5 years due to a long running saga is a different matter. You can see in my survey of Church St which shops have been vacant and for how long bit.ly/amirstokey

@annazaani John’s Garden Centre and the Chinese restaurant next to Ryan’s Bar have been closed for a number of years. The owner of the boutique next to the library sadly passed away. That leaves Borough Wines, The Last Crumb and Botanique. All four did close within 4-6 weeks though.

@annazaani Every December a couple of shops close and tend to reopen as a new business a few months later. It’s a natural cycle. I don’t think there are more empty shops now than in the same period in the past. A new business is already moving into no. 166. That leaves 5 others out of 100.

@IanPethick Is it growing though? I do wonder. Shops open and close all the time with some don’t last very long for many reasons. Owners die, move, can’t manage, didn’t think through their business model and location etc.
