Hopefully it will be a new head team who know that big TVs, loud music, disinterested staff and poor beer does not a successful or welcoming pub make.

Unfortunately The Spread will never make any money because the brewery are too greedy. Tenants are made to play by the rules or be fined but the rules are all in favour of the brewery. Me and Alan had some great times there and met some great friends, but it cost us our savings and left us in a lot of debt. I’d love it if the Spread wasn’t tied to a brewery like the Boar isn’t but I can’t see the brewery ever giving it up.

Unfortunately most Brewerys couldn't organise the proverbial in one.

Most now seem to be interested in the land value when the pub fails rather than the business as is.

Note that Britain's biggest (?) Pub chain Greene King was recently bought out by a property developer.

Very sad that your first post on here contains such grim news for you Michelle. We wish you all the best for the future and hope that your fortunes pick up not too far into the future.

Good luck to you and Alan.

Thank you. The Boar is doing well, just wish Southend were doing better on the pitch

They will when it's converted into flats.
