Read today that a Marston's pub / restaurant called the "Whistling Wren" is being built on LSV with construction to start today, opening in October.

Might help keep beer / food prices pegged back at the stadium.

Typical to name it after a ref!

Do you know where exactly it's being built LCS?

Not sure, received the following today;

"Just to keep you informed regarding the new developments on site. As from today the contractor building the new public house for Marstons will commence work and LSVCo have agreed to liaise with all partners during the construction phase. It is anticipated that there will be little impact across the Village, other than the access and agress points to the building site."

Behind the north stand. It has all been fenced off today.

Leave the pub at 2.59pm and in time for kick off, genius!

Same here Matt. In at 2.59pm and out at 4.31pm

Anything to avoid paying £3.20 for a Tetley's CAN. They no longer make even a penny off me.

The Talbot at the top of the by-pass in Athy is a Marstons pub - can anyone comment on the grub/beer in there?

Beer good, food average.

Some Marston's pubs do 2 for 1 meals, (e.g The Mayflower at Cabus, on the A6) with an excellent choice - perhaps it will be one of those?

Thanks.

Matt - remember to leave it a bit earlier, when you're in the West Stand!

THE WHISTLING WREN!!! What sort of bloomin' name is that? (Especially for someone who has a problem with their w/r's - I just can't say that - it comes out as 'Whistling Wen).



Should be even funnier after a couple of pints.

Hope you leave a few extra minutes to help with the flags you lazy get

If there's a prize for longest post I reckon you've won it Mr C


Whistling Wren? Where's the naval connection there?

- my dad would have been a regular Ex Navy use to say it was 'Up with the Lark and to bed with a Wren'

We have a Marstons in Birchwood called the Peacock.

£11 for 2 curries and 2 beers / wine (Guiness at a small supplement).

Great value !

I've always enjoyed the food at the Talbot so I'm looking forward to the opening of The Whistling Wen.



(I'm the same with the word 'brewery' - it comes out as bwuwery. LOL

I reckon the person who named it had a similar problem with their 'F's' and 'N's'. Given the proximity to a sports stadium and Leythers' propensity for criticising poor unfortunate refs like Mr Stokes, the original intention was obviously to name it 'The Whistling =#FF0000REF'!

Been the the Marston's pub at Birchwood, ales good in there. LSV had better get their thinking caps on, because no one will be supping there anymore.

Have Marstons not dropped the proverbial here by not linking the pub in with the club by naming it something like 'The Sir Tommy Sale' or 'The James Hilton' or something like that?

The Chat Moss is a Marston's.

Just what Leigh needs ANOTHER pub

The more the merrier



It will enhance the approach to the LSV and these days it would be more appropriate to call these type of 'pubs' restaraunts. They are usually family type establishments.

Hardly replaces all those that have closed and all the earnings that have been lost by their demise.

I for one welcome new enterprise and investment in the area - plus I like a pint or two



Anyone know if this company sell 'real ale' along side of 'not so real' ale??

Hope we are already in contact for shirt sponsor 2013/4

they should get Jonathan Woss to open the bloody pub what a crazy idea

Oh dear that means the food comes via the microwave......They turned the Chat Moss from a home cooked good place to eat into a rather empty place where they bury people.
