This can't be right, can it? The Lamb in Fisher Street is on the Greene King website again, needing someone to run it?

About bloody time!! I don't understand how the current guy ever got the job in the first place. He's clearly never run a pub and has probably never even worked in one judging by how bad the place is

Not had experience of the Lamb under new ownership, but was really good under the old one. The Royal Oak needs a bit of a facelift as it's looking tired. Hopefully they get some good people in as pubs closing is sad. Had no idea the Lamb was a Greene King pub... Let's hope they support bonfire too.

Unsurprising,
In the almost 40 years I've been living in Lewes the Lambs has only been a good pub when Alec ran it.

Every time the subject of the Lamb crops up, and who has been/is running it, I can't help thinking about Johnny Saunders - the greatest Landlord ever in my opinion.
Any stories to recount?

Tony Bradley - Hole was the best landlord the Lamb ever had. Back then they sold Harveys under the Beards label. It's never been as good since.

I think the fact that both of these tenancy's have come up now on the same day is a sign of the negative impact that a Weatherspoons at the Crown is going to have on our local pub trade, use your local or loose it.

@The Greek,
I thought The Lamb was the H.Q. for Waterloo Bonfire ?
However, I could be wrong ?

Jesus!
He meant he hopes the new person keeps the pub as Waterloo's HQ.
Not that hard, is it?

@Local wow...really? Matt Sharpe misreads or misinterprets an earlier post, and therefore deserves an aggressive and spiteful reply does he?! Oh dear, someone's very grouchy over there aren't they!

"hope they support bonfire" is as vague a comment as to be received from a "smuggler" after 6 pints on the fifth.........Not every reader is aware of where Bonfire HQ's are

The best landlord the Lamb ever had was Arthur Accrington, who ran it between 1896 and 1902. No women allowed in and fantastic milk stout.

Yes that is what I meant. Hopefully the new landlord supports bonfire and lets Waterloo keep it as their HQ.
