My wife and I were also bar and waiting
staff there throughout the 90s and saw the introduction of alcopops such as
Hooch and 2 dogs, along with K Cider and Smirnoff moscow mule. Becks was by
far the biggest selling bottled bear, and the Worthington £1-a-pint was
legendary among the old fellas and students. Steve Hetherington was the
Landlord, and his girlfriend Sandy lived with him upstairs. The head barmaid
was called Ali, and the cheeky cleaner, cook and glass collector was called
Alex. We had some brilliant live music every week and a quiz now and again,
and on weekends this place was heaving. I did all the chalk boards and
signage, and also did the boards of the Swan, Mannings, O'Neills and
Westerfield railway on occassion. Early 90s at least this was the place to
go before Hollywood. ( Note: Lates 90 Steve H and Sandy moved on to manage
the Wig and Pen on Colchester High street ). |

I d like to contact Carrie, a red haired, lively,
fun loving local girl who worked at the pub for summer of 1989 with
myself. I worked there full time for about 6 months, April-September
1989. We dated Mike(me) n Dave (Carrie) from the U.S military base
outside Ipswich. |
