Burnley pub news, March 2002
The Sparrow Hawk
Best wishes to Steve and Julia, who have sold out. I understand Steve has not been too well since selling, so get well soon. It was all announced pretty quickly, but I understand they have been looking to sell for about 18 months. There was a farewell private party on Sunday 17th February. No changes are expected - why change a good thing?

The Brun Lea
The Wetherspoon's pub opened on Monday 25th February.
Not a particularly inspiring selection of beers: Boddingtons, Theakstons, Spitfire, Courage Directors.
Pendle Witch was on, but no sign of the infinitely superior Black Cat or Premier. Competitive prices, of course.
We may get some better choices in future.

The White Hart
Everards Tiger and Beacon seem to be regular beers in
this Mitchell owned pub now. Beware - Sunday night is Karaoke night.

The Shepherds
This pub has reopened on Cog Lane. A good refurbishment, but no real ale.
The Duke of York
Work seems to be going on forever on this burnt out pub. No news on when it's likely to reopen, but a sign says it's owned by Avebury Taverns. The Good Beer Guide tells us Avebury Taverns has a choice of 50 cask ales and a commitment to micro-brewers' products to satisfy local tastes. Let's see.
The Wellington
This has reopened but doesn't appear to be selling real ale. This used to be a good boozer, but in need of refurbishment.

The Park View
Another pub up for sale. It only seems to be open at weekends, and is not busy. Still no real ale here to tempt us in.
