00:00I went along to Leif's newest pub, The Angel, in the former Foot of the Walk pub, which was shut by Witherspoons in November last year.
00:11The new pub opened its doors on Monday, March the 31st, and it's now a sports bar with music and screens around the bar.
00:19I spoke to customers to see what they think of the changes.
00:22It's basically cleaned up. The Wetherspoons, they say it's got a new carpet, and obviously the beer's almost comedy-cheek.
00:36An excellent pint of old Peculiar.
00:40And what about the music? Because obviously spoons them on music.
00:43It's just background just fine.
00:45You'll be quite happy with that.
00:46Yeah.
00:46The one's nice and it's cleaner, but I think their biggest downfall is they're not doing food because there's a sports bar.
00:53So if you're hungry, you're going to go away.
00:57And between, what's that food we're doing?
00:59Yeah, even something like that.
01:02What about the music and the screens and all that? That's obviously changed.
01:04Well, they're not screens, it's televisions.
01:06I've got a sports bar, you've got a nice big screen.
01:09Right. You want it bigger?
01:11Aye.
01:12I don't know that I do, I don't know much.
01:13Anything else you'd like to add, madam?
01:15I didn't like their shine above the dark, but I'm sexy and I throw it, I think it's stupid.
01:20I honestly think it's stupid, because I played ours for a league and I'm 70 feet and I play for a league.
01:25You think that's quite insulting?
01:26It's stupid.
01:28Well, I think it's very nice, yeah, it's good.
01:31I'll miss the food.
01:33That's the only thing they're lacking, eh?
01:35Yeah.
01:36What about the screens and the music?
01:37Oh, it's great.
01:38That was the only thing that you never got a lot of, the weather smokes.
01:43You never got a lot of sport.
01:44You're happy over all them?
01:46Oh, right, definitely.
01:48Yeah, it looks nice.
01:50Never came for the, it used to be the weather screen, but it's really, it's really, it's beautiful inside.
01:56Never came, but I've got more television and I've got music.
02:00You prefer that?
02:00It's very good.
02:01Yes.
02:02And a sports bar.
02:04Yes.
02:06All the choice of football.
02:08Any football games, you always want.
02:10Any football games?
02:10Yes.
02:11Yes.
02:11And the other weather screen, there's no talent at all.
02:16Just going up the back, not music.
02:18No music, just food.
02:20Tiny.
02:21You're happy?
02:22I'm quite happy with it.
02:23Any food, I'm quite happy with it.
02:24Any food, I'm quite happy with it.
02:25Yes.
02:25Yes.
02:27You uy, uy, uy.
02:28Okay.
02:28I'm very happy with it.
02:30You're happy to see the world of sports.
02:30The fieldmusic today is to go in.
02:35We'll be back in the morning.
