If I had the money, I'd buy it and reopen it tomorrow. In fact I'd buy both places if I could.

Yates's has closed? Will it be reopening at all? It only ever seems to be busy for a couple of hours on Friday/Saturday nights, and completly dead after 10:00.

Closed a few weeks back due to smoking ban - not re-opening - story in Stratford Observer.

Personally I don't think Yates' closing down has got anything to do with the smoking ban...even before the ban the place had no atmosphere and was only good for pre-chicago rock drinks. It's a shame though, it's a nice location and the best did look quite nice! Any ideas on what's going to happen with it?

According to the grapevine, Yates's has closed down for good. Don't know if it's true or not, but the place never seemed that busy.

Front page article in the Observer recently said that Island Cafe is to become part of the O'Brians chain. Apparently they sell sandwiches.

correct. my bet was either an estate agents or a scotch wool shop. the only other alternative was that Stratford council might claim a connection to shakespeare.
