techno Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 I stopped having coffee there when you see the state of the water the comunal spoon is in!In fact theres nothing at squires worth having even the food is a heart attack on a plate! Quote
stelmer Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 I thought the coffee was a little different. I get a tea and get them to put a bag in the cup rather than 4 or 5 bags in a teapot without letting it brew. What a waste!!!!!The food is cheap quality and probably fried in Hydrogenated oil too.

bigsisterbiker Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 you'd only need a million - asking price for squires when he put it up for sale recently when he wanted to retire Quote
Guest Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Theres a great building on way to Cadwell Park from here, and one on way to Bridlington... would love to be involved...In the meantime, maybe we shud just have a look at whats already out there... get someone onboard... regular meets there etc Quote
Guest Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 you'd only need a million - asking price for squires when he put it up for sale recently when he wanted to retire Yeh, didnt sell though did he...... i really really really dont know why people go there.... people stay there for hours on end! I've never really liked it, and never understood the attraction Quote
bigsisterbiker Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 sounds good idea vicki. much as i like squires - handily between me and my brother in leeds - somewhere new would be nice though it's handy for meeting little bro, agree and don't understand how people can stay there all day. we meet up and go for a ride!far as i remember he did have an offer on it but there was a clause in the contract to make sure it stayed a biker place and the new prospective owners - a chain - wanted to ignore that and turn it into a 'family' pub so he wouldn't sell Quote

Korben Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 There is a place between Matlock and Buxton (If you go up the Via Gella (SP) then take the right turn at the end).It's a really nice looking pub. Biggish car park and smack out in the middle of the countryside. Next time I am out that way (Weekend probably), I will get a pub name and location. Quote
Stu Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 bigsis dont you ever go to seaways at fridaythorpe ?his tea and coffe is better the squires and better roads round there too Quote

Rosie Posted December 17, 2008 Author Posted December 17, 2008 Good points for Squires = location, facilities.Bad points = smelly toilets, dreadfull tea and coffee, unhealthy (but once in a while quite okish) food, prices !! and did I mention smelly toilets??I personally don't like the place, but I go there to meet up with mates and it just happens to be the most central place.Willingham Woods is getting rather overpriced as well.Seaways still seems to have the edge, but I still feel it is rather "clicky" with a lot of its visitors.

Sometime early in the year. its owned by some big company now with a manager in place. The 2 conditions i think were that it's kept manly as a bike place.... and they kept his lad Jasen in a job...... Quote
Guest Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Shame they kept things as they were... some new blood could have meant good things.... clearly not!My place is always open for a brew and snacks for anyone passing Quote
