Pub Next Door - Noisy Bouncy Castle

Lots of pubs have bouncy castles these days. I blame inflation.

The situation changed so I didn't speak with them. For whatever reason they now just use the castle for 3-4 hours on some days and not at all on others.

Not wanting to be like Victor Meldrew I decided not to say anything and carry on using another pub.

Thanks for the advice tho guys.

Oh the thought has crossed my mind. I think it might be a bit obvious who pulled the trigger tho.

Surely if one wanted peace and quiet, buying a house next door to a pub wouldn't even be considered in the search for a property?

My thoughts exactly, OP you signed up too this... if you don't like it move

That's fair comment to a point. Of course I expect some noise from the pub but there have been times when it's been unreasonable. When I moved in over 20 years ago it was a boozer but over the years like other pubs it's had to introduce other stuff to survive.

At the end of the day it's a boozer, best thing you can do is move!

Used to live near the pub and they used to have the parties in the summer months particularity and sometimes it bothered me but at the end of the day its a pub and they have to provide something for punters to make a living.

I am not sure what you can do unless they act outside of the licencing conditions and I doubt the castle is!

Your best off moving as they can be noisy if this bothers you.

Don't move near a hospital either as I live near one now and sometimes they have very droney noisy helicopters come and go with very ill people and the noise they make may also cause you the same kind of displeasure.

Possibly right but the pub has had 4 different tenants in the last 5 years so hard for them to make a living. I have a feeling it may close anyway before too long.

At which point it may get turned into a block of flats with balconies facing you!

Both are listed buildings in a conservation area so no chance of that.

Not too be rude then sir, but what on earth are you moaning about then?!?

I'm not. There was a problem which has now been resolved.

Have you read the thread?

I have indeed read the thread, I'm just saying the thread was pointless in the first place.

Not going to try and reason with you, glad your problem has been resolved!

With the benefit of hindsight perhaps buying a house next to a pub wasn't ideal but that was over 20 years ago. At the time there was a brilliant publican and I was a regular at the pub, there was a bit of noise but no real problem.

When that publican left the pub was managed for a while, one of the managers ended up in jail after more than 'serving' under age girls in the pub. Then a new tenant was found who thought it ok to have live loud music every weekend and put tables & chairs on the pavement right outside one of our bedroom windows. We had several issues with him and he got enough 'yellow cards' from licensing at the local council so had to go.

The next tenant also liked loud music but lasted less than a year. Another period with managers followed.

The current tenants took over in March. The are certainly giving it a go with the bouncy castle, Sky tv football and some live music. Fair enough they are trying to make a living but I wonder if they will ever take enough £'s to pay for it all. Apparently they got a 6 month rent free period when they took over so that will finish soon.

So do I move or hold on to see if the pub closes?
