The cask ale selection was first rate in there, with a selection of local and regional ales. Seemed really busy as well, hope it continues.

Aye, --every time we have passed it has always seemed busy, ---glad the refurbishment is looking good too, cheers.

Wetherspoons is indeed opening an establishment in Houghton-le-Spring. It is to be called the Wild Boar, and should have its grand opening on 29th March.

It will be the fifth Wetherspoon pub in the City of Sunderland.

I was in the Railway Tavern Hylton Rd tonight and has a quality pint of Lambtons @ £1.80 a pint.

Blimey that's reasonable; I thought £2.25 in the Blue Bell was decent.

Can't say I've ever been drinking along Hylton Road, though I hear the 'ski run' it is still fairly popular?

The Hylton Rd circuit is not as popular as it used to be but its good to see the Mountain Daisy open again. I hope the Railway Tavern does well as the Manager has bought it off the pub company and is making a go of it.

Theres a good piece on the Echo site about the Maxim Delilah ale re Jamesons Wetherspoons but I can't get the Echo page up at present.

Perhaps somebody could kindly put it on later today. Many thanks.

A lot of the the Jamesons staff are moving up to the Cooper Rose.

I was talking with some Lads that get into Houghton, ---and they think that this Wetherspoons could take trade from the other Pubs, --- suppose it's wait and see.

horokeio · February 23rd, 2011, 04:11 PM

Of course it will, but it should also bring some healthy competition.

From what I'm hearing, ----most Pubs in the Houghton area are struggling, ---will just have to wait to see what happens.

horokeio · February 25th, 2011, 12:10 AM

If they're struggling then there's either too many pubs, they're too expensive, or they're crap

Don't think there are many pubs left in Houghton, --so probably your right with the last two
