Awful company (all due to Sir Humph), and not a pleasant pub with plastic glasses on match days, but fell back in love with Sinclairs on a quiet weekday after they brought back the cask OBB.
SINCLAIRS GETS ITS CASK BACK
June 2023. Manchester. The last day of June, in fact, which means I’ve almost caught up on the blog, worryingly. Last Friday I joined Kentish Paul for a few pubs in Manchester before getting …

Like a lot of Smiths pubs it has bags of potential, and run by a better company would be a wonderful asset to the area.Awful company (all due to Sir Humph), and not a pleasant pub with plastic glasses on match days, but fell back in love with Sinclairs on a quiet weekday after they brought back the cask OBB.

I've been in a few times on match days in the past and the massive crowds and bouncers put me off. Always felt like it was going to kick off any minute.
Their stupid "rules" like banning mobile phones and only taking cash are nothing but tacky gimmicks, combined with the well publicised way they treat their landlords/staff means they're firmly in the get fucked basket for me. The sooner they go bust the better.
I'd rather drink in Wetherspoons and that's saying something.

I meant in terms of putting money into the till of a company owned by a complete ball sack. i.e the guy who owns Smiths is even more of a **** than the guy who owns Spoons.

Further branches of Spoons closing is hilarious.
I’ve liked the Hogarths I’ve been to in a few towns and cities so chains can be fine. I prefer a pub but you know what you’re getting with a brand name.

I am so fucking old I remember when Sinclairs was actually - gasp - a seafood pub.
There was another on Liverpool Road and they were both ace when you fancied a bit of that scoff.
Nothing like it now. Although I believe Sinclairs occasionally sell oysters at £6 a piece. Cheeky twats! Nearly as bad as £8 for a sausage at that rip-off so-called Christmas market.

I'm so old I remember the 2 pubs being moved from the original place so they could build M&S, the pubs were moved again in 1999.

It does make you wonder just how much they could charge for a sausage or a glass of 'mulled wine" before people stop paying it. Not been to the Christmas market for a couple of years but last time we went we didn't buy anything. Mostly over priced crap.
