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.

02:27You 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.
