@Hoggs Ernie B's is now closed and no sign up either so not sure if you want to move it to another location or just leave it as you can still get in the car park and infront of the building 

 

If you choose another place I can suggest somewhere just around the corner

I have looked for this on the map ready for a run out and have assumed it is the lay-by off Jackson’s lane.

”///plastic.decisive.boards///“ if you have the what 3 words app.

Cheers! I don't have w3w. There were diversions and a road closure and lots and lots of mud.

I think where I took the tag pic was on the extremities along the boarded walk.

I'm having the points

Does this count as a 'cat' pub -

 

 

 

It is owned by the 'red cat'?

Pretty sure I've allowed much more tenuous links from @Throttled so yes

[Tigs]

In that case...  the 'spread-eagle' has a 'gold' eagle outside - and as that is not real - does that make it mythical?

Anyone heading out to Beuno's Tea Room in North Wales, unfortunately its closed down until further notice (due to the economic crisis I'm told), and there's no sign up anymore.

Aww that's a shame.

 

I'll accept pictures of the place as it is very distinctive or will put alternative option up of the Salusbury Arms down the road

Hi @Hoggs, sorry just stuck my first photos up and they have gone haywire!!! On the phone they looked okay, will try listing them the old way next time
