Although still a great place with very loyal drinkers, the working atmosphere was stressed because the new owners didn't have much experience running pubs, and certainly had no understanding of what made the Hawkley so special. Sadly, they bullishly decided to force new ideas onto loyal staff and locals (mostly related to money making) and the result wasn't pleasant - notedly the cruel sacking of Dom just before Christmas 2007. I refused to go back to work there when this happened, as did a few of the other staff. Jeannie however continued to bravely stand her corner, but eventually she too was 'removed'. And hence an era ended...<br />Such a tragic waste of a great pub with an even greater history.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5178181579539961572.post-54695222493623491432009-07-02T06:44:26.911-07:002009-07-02T06:44:26.911-07:00I love A Kind Of Loving.

I still like to go there but the selection of beers hasn't been so good recently and the general ambience has changed beyond recognition since the halcyon days of Grumpy Al.
