Bluto's

Started by: Tommy Two Stroke (15202)

I only recently found out that upstairs in Bluto's is where the UCP cafe was located, I remember the UCP in Market Street, but I couldn't remember exactly which building it was in, it is now the Co-Op bank

TTS,
yes I knew him from Skem when he was in the chippy, and later as a near neighbour up to his death.

I don't get the John Bull.

You can never get served, and the place smells of vomit.

Yuk.

So, if you go there, you won't have to push past Jarvo to have a pint in Wigan's best pub. Win win!

Bear in mind that Jarvo is a lager drinking Wolves fan and you will begin to see the problem.......
