The Foxhill Public House
 

Has this closed down? It never seems to be open at the moment.....

Re: The Foxhill Public House

Can the last person to leave Oswaldtwistle switch the lights off please?

Re: The Foxhill Public House
 

I wonder to what extent the Foxhill is a victim of predatory pricing by the Last Orders (Printers)?

Re: The Foxhill Public House
 

Probably quite a lot. It's a shame but they had such a tremendous opportunity to promote the place as an 'after theatre' drinking venue - but it was always a bit dark and dingy and not very welcoming.

Then again there probably aren't enough good things on at the theatre to encourage people to go anyway.

Oswaldtwistle Civic Theatre, it's across the road.

alas its gone the way of many good watering holes that once made union rd a great pub crawl.:(

Re: The Foxhill Public House
 

I presume it won't be the last, as more people stay in drinking their supermarket booze, and enjoying a ciggie in the warmth once the smoking ban comes in.

Re: The Foxhill Public House
 

I think its getting very hard for a 'boozer' to survive now. As you say Rindy, cheap supermarket booze has a lot to do with it. e.g. we sometimes drink Low C. At the local offy its 75p/bottle. In pubs its usually £1.80. Now that is plain rip off. I worked the pub game for 7 years so I do know there has to be some profit in it but the profit on soft drinks and bottles is far too high.

Re: The Foxhill Public House
 

I have always been frustrated at the mark up on soft drinks - especially the ones that are on the spray gun (forgot the correct word). It used to annoy me that a lager shandy was priced at the same price as a lager when it was half lemonade.

Correct word is Post-Mix :)

Re: The Foxhill Public House
 

New owners I think.

Ossie Civic Theatre ? there must be hordes of the red carpet brigade mulling around after a show,maybe if we get up a petition against the closure we could send it to Tom Cruise and his mates, they may take up the issue.
