    They're welcomed to it! Was going in the Double barrel when it opened early 70's till almost when it closed as a pub bout 5 years ago. Always be an English pub too me.

    Double Barrel, Thurcroft Hotel, Ivanhoe. All legendary Thurcroft pubs yet all now gone. But if folk stop using them, the doors close. Especially when most of them are worth much more to the breweries/managements companies as property to sell for redevelopment as shops, flats or Indian restaurants.

    As for Spoons, can't fault them, they clearly have a formula that works and bucks the "no one uses pubs anymore" trend.

    Thurcroft Hotel had the best Sunday League Football team in Rotherham in the 90s.

    Double Barrell Closed as a pub about 15 years ago - It was a steakhouse in 2013.

    You never going into a Spoons is another reason people should go to them.
