swe62 332 Posted January 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 is it still called Theakstones as S&N still own the name , And didn,t one of the family start again with the Black Sheep Brewery Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 240 Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 No, it's called Theakstones because the Theakstone family own it! Yes, I believe the Black Sheep brewery is also owned by the family - and was started when S&N still owned Theakstones. You can read all about it on their website.

Ivor Thirst 120 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I understand the Running Horse on Alfreton Road has closed down, is that true? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 9,939 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Yes and No. It has opened and closed several times over the last few years under various owners. As far as I know, it currently only opens when it has a group on, which isn't very often. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,106 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Not again !!!!! I once stayed B & B at the Woolly Sheep in Skipton. They had six Timothy Taylor's bitter on draught. Pity I didn't stay long enough to sample the lot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ivor Thirst 120 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Cliff Ton, let's hope the boards go up for good on another of Nottingham's real pubs. Had a lot of good times there in the early seventies. They always claimed to have the deepest cellar in Nottingham not sure if that was true. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
