Had the day off to use up holiday and to have a break after the long day on Saturday. We planned to go out or do something with the day but Alan has man flu so we just about managed to get to the pub (White Hart at Pribright) for something to eat.
On the way we went to have a look at what has been my local for more years than I care to mention, The White Hart (Wood Street this time). This pub has seen many changes over the years from sawdust and spitoon local to almost nighclub status in the village. The last owners all but drove the local clientelle away with lousy food and a very nepotistic workforce and visitors. I knew this would come to an end, I knew this couldnt last in this day of high running costs and people voting with their feet - after all you cant pay the wages and bills with just a few mates turning up every evening can you? Well, it has changed and how! Although it wasnt open the builder let us have a look round and my God - this has got to be the best transformation! I just hope it doesnt lose that 'local' feeling and become pretentious - its a village pub after all! We'll go and try it out when it's open next week.
