Colin James Posted August 31, 2015 Report Posted August 31, 2015 I noticed that the Treacle Mine Pub is closed. There is a paper sign in the window that just states 'closed until further notice' Can anyone throw some light on this?
Glenda Powell Posted August 31, 2015 Report Posted August 31, 2015 Doesn't this pub belong to Cllr Rone and his brothers?
Colin James Posted August 31, 2015 Author Report Posted August 31, 2015 Doesn't this pub belong to Cllr Rone and his brothers? I know it used too, not sure if they still own it or not now to be honest.
Colin James Posted August 31, 2015 Author Report Posted August 31, 2015 From the horses mouth: Jen McMahon 29 August at 14:03 · It is with a heavy heart I want to announce that The Treacle Mine will be put on the market, and is currently closed with immediate effect. We have had some great times over the last 5 and a half years, made some great friends, and had some great hangovers, but all good things must come to an end. I hope that everyone can understand this was not a decision taken lightly, and although I'm sure the gossip mill will be working overtime, ultimately it really is as simple as it's now the time to take a different path, and try new things. Thank you to each and every one of you that has supported us. Hopefully you have made some memories here that you can keep close to your heart. Take care.
herefordman75 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Posted September 1, 2015 Council planning to build a St.Martins Street link road costing £250 million to complete, paved with Unicorn horn & Leprechaun Gold perhaps????
Alex Posted September 1, 2015 Report Posted September 1, 2015 Maybe the Freedom Church have bought it lol
herefordman75 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Posted September 1, 2015 On a slightly more sensible note, that would only leave the Saracens Head (only just as it's on the river path pretty much) and The Broadleys south of the river? (in town of course)
Bill Thomas Posted September 1, 2015 Report Posted September 1, 2015 I see the HT finally caught up and have published this story this afternoon.
K.Butt Posted September 1, 2015 Report Posted September 1, 2015 The place has looked pretty shoddy for a number of years, so no investment eventually the inevitable has happened. Every time I have have gone passed over the last 3-4 years all I ever saw was a mobility scooter outside and a dog in the window, cannot remember seeing much other activity.

atm63 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Posted September 1, 2015 I think the Rones have bought the Saracens Head.
Frank Smith Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 I think the Rones have bought the Saracens Head. Oh yes, a quick lick of paint and a tidy up and back on the market it goes. I was under the impression Cllr. Rone was going to revamp and re-open how naive of me.

Rone was going to revamp and re-open how naive of me. They have put planning in to change the upstairs into flats - so won't be long before a change of use goes in to convert the whole thing I reckon
megilleland Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 The Saracen's Head planning application can be seen here (post 107):

Rone was going to revamp and re-open how naive of me. An application to vary the licence for the Saracens Head is here Apparently the refurb has reduced the size of the drinking area inside and they want to formalise the external drinking area outside by the River path. Premises is owned by Rone Properties LTD. Facebook
Roger Posted September 18, 2015 Report Posted September 18, 2015 Do you think it will remain as a pub ? It seems to have gone down a more bohemian path with the makeover. I suppose I'd have to look at the food offerings before I could describe it. I don't think 'pub' would be the first word to cross my lips! Maybe bistro ? Open within a couple of weeks apparently ....
M. Preece Posted September 19, 2015 Report Posted September 19, 2015 A lot of these pubs need updating, I know funds are always a problem but the Treacle Mine was never going to attract many new clients without a facelift. Sad to see another pub close but I do think the breweries could do a lot more.
Roger Posted September 19, 2015 Report Posted September 19, 2015 A lot of these pubs need updating, Out of date font on the signage at the Treacle Mine. Place just exudes negative vibes from the outside.
Alex Posted September 20, 2015 Report Posted September 20, 2015 I notice they have painted the Broadleys, a cream colour which is loads better than that dark red.
LS86 Posted September 20, 2015 Report Posted September 20, 2015 It's about time more pubs ditched the big brewery's and sold local ales/ciders instead like Beer in Hand. One of the most popular pubs in town and one which is usually always busy is also the Barrells.
Denise Lloyd Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 I see the Treacle Mine has now been sold. Bets on it will be flats/apartments
Colin James Posted December 1, 2015 Author Report Posted December 1, 2015 I see the Treacle Mine has now been sold. Bets on it will be flats/apartments Yes, I noticed this early this morning, I took this photo. Sold by Andrew Grant I see.
Denise Lloyd Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 HT cannot cope with any challenge I have had a few of my comments removed when I moan about their reporting methods
Denise Lloyd Posted November 16, 2016 Report Posted November 16, 2016 Very unusually HT are one step ahead of HV this time. There is a PA in at the moment for the Treacle Mine to be converted into wait for it a Pizza Takeaway mostly delivered - gosh that's novel!
ragwert Posted March 7, 2017 Report Posted March 7, 2017 The planning application to turn the Treacle mine into A Pizza Hut has been approved.
Frank Smith Posted March 8, 2017 Report Posted March 8, 2017 The planning application to turn the Treacle mine into A Pizza Hut has been approved. There are contractors working in there already
Clarkester Posted March 8, 2017 Report Posted March 8, 2017 Whilst it is good to see something happening to get the building back in use, another Pizza Hut? Is one not enough? Also, I'm sure it's been thought about already, but where are people going to park? On the whole, people tend to drive to such places, and I may be mistaken, but the Treacle Mine wasn't actually blessed with a large car parking area was it?
