.... 23 Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Just in a small way perhaps but I was very pleased to read this news. The Bonington Theatre is set to hold cinema nights with some new, enhanced equipment, including a seven metre screen. It's been some years since there was anything like a real 'pictures' night around the town though there have been dabblings. The Roxy at Daybrook disappearing many years ago and in th centre of the town, at the original and very grand Bonington Theatre. No parking, £5.50 admission (and a twenty-minute walk for me personally) Welcome back! Arnold's Bonington Theatre to show latest blockbuster films thanks to new equipment Quote Link to post Share on other sites

.... 23 Posted December 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Much better choice (these days) is The Robin Hood! Next door to the theatre too. Very good pub these days - recommended. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob.L 1,084 Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Caftan, That's one 'Spoons better avoided. Last time we went there, the food was awful and the beer almost undrinkable. The Robin has a much better reputation, and better beer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Went in the Ernehale the other week & had a most enjoyable meal & several pints of Abbot ale, couldn't fault in anyway ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted December 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 The Ernehale is fine and dandy as regards Wetherspoons. The Robin though has become a little gem again. It was a great pub in the seventies and has been resurrected in great style. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

.... 23 Posted December 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 I'll have to check that one out Stu on one of my many visits to Arnold ! It's well worth a visit. Owned by Everards/Lincoln Green Breweries, it's focused on real ales and a wide range of ciders. The pub is ancient - probably the oldest pub in a town of some quite old pubs. I thought the old place was dead and buried after some hard times but like a phoenix, it has come back to life - hooray! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
