mercurydancer 1,104 Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 I didnt realise that the Malt Cross was closed - just shows how much attention I pay when I visit Nottingham! The Malt Cross is lovely and if they are renovating it, the place will be even better than it has been. Its a very laid back place and I hope that they dont affect that chilled atmosphere. I recall the Sapla restaurant in the basement, and it was appalling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chulla 4,946 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Mention of the Hand and Heart reminds me of the (very) old joke about the signwriter who painted the pub's sign. The landlord came out to see his work and told him - with dropped aitches - The spaces are too wide between the 'and and and, and and and heart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 One new pub and one reopening in the Arnold area. There is to be a brand new micropub in the Coronation Buildings on Mansfield Road at Daybrook, directly opposite the former Home Brewery building. The Robin Hood and Little John on Church Street, Arnold is reopen as a real ale pub in August. Brewery's involved are Lincoln Green of Hucknall and Everards Brewery. As one of the area's oldest pubs it is heartening to see these plans. Good news for the area. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

.... 23 Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 The micro-pub Stu mentioned opposite home brewery gates is to be called The Abdication https://sites.google.com/site/ampprelaunch/ They'll have to go some to match the 'July.August' opening date that's promised. I've seen barely any sign of life in the building so far (it's the second unit to the right of the row). Only one day have I seen anything going off there but there could be some 'unseen work' happening! The Abdication looks to be about the size of The Doctor's Orders at Carrington. I wish it well, it will be nice to see another watering hole in the area. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 48 847 Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 The Wheatsheaf at bobbers mill was supposed to be re-opening again this summer. Work started on it at the end of June and it looked as though it was being gutted and a large skip was quickly filled with all the fittings and fixtures. It now appears that work has ceased and it is all boarded up again. Anybody know anything more ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 The scrap metal lads broke in the Wheatsheaf @ bobbers mill & ripped out most of the piping even the wiring from the walls. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chulla 4,946 Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 The Wheatsheaf at Bobbers Mill was built in 1938/1939. At this time my dad worked for the firm that decorated it. Each room had lights that were a glass globe suspended from the ceiling by a chromed tube. There was one left over after completion and dad obtained it and had an amber-coloured glass halo made, which transformed the globe into a likeness of the planet Saturn. Very, very Art Deco (dad was into that style). I have the lighting fixture and am open to offers - it is unique, there is only one of them! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,090 Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 I never knew that, to me it was just a light fixture that I grew up with. I knew it was unique but never thought to ask where dad got it. Didn't know he'd had the glass ring made. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveN 1,118 Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 I used to live near the Wheatsheaf when I was in my teens - a nice pub. Also in my teens I belonged to a scooter club and we used to meet in the upstairs room there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Not Nottingham but. A new micro pub has opened(18th December) in Loughborough it's called The Needle & Pin & is on The Rushes close to The Swan in The Rushes. It's the Smallest micro I've been in (smaller than The Barrel Drop or Just Beer) & only has three hand pumps but I think it will do well. https://www.facebook.com/LoughboroughMicropub/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 A few weeks ago the former Lord Nelson on Front Street, Arnold reopened after being closed for a period. It's last incarnation was as a daytime coffee bar with the 'Nelly' having closed some years ago. It's now been christened 'The Coffee Grinder' (rubbish name I think) and is owned by the Blue Monkey Brewery. During the day it serves largely as a coffee bar I understand and in the evening a real ale pub. It's pretty close to the Robin Hood and Little John so a couple of real ale choices in close proximity for punters in Arnold now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LizzieM 9,507 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 # 190. I listened to one of the directors of the Blue Monkey Brewery being interviewed on Radio Nottingham the other week. The name 'Coffee Grinder' is keeping the theme of 'Grinder' going throughout their pubs. I'm aware there's an 'Organ Grinder' in town but I think he said there's an 'Organ Grinder' somewhere else fairly locally. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
