Crooked Billet Worsthorne

Post by durhamclaret » Fri Mar 03, 2023 2:27 pm

I understand that the above pub runs a bus to the Turf for home matches inc Pie n peas ?
Is this correct and does it work well ? Do they run for night matches too ?
Any comments would be most welcome thanks.

Yes they do for all games.
Good pie and peas, good hot beef sandwich. (Haffners pies)
Real ales even better.

Go on Worsthorne Community Facebook. Billet puts all details of match bus every week. You need to book beforehand

Book beforehand, they put 2 buses on if needed. The pie n peas is for weekend games only . No food during the week, so bus only for Tuesday/Weds fixtures.

Nope. Haffners deliver the pies on Saturday mornings. The food is usually just served Saturday and Sunday days.

To be fair to Dwight, he had a new boss for a couple of months who encouraged him to drive towards his destination as fast as he could, although the 'toxic' passengers were unimpressed with the quality of his driving. Then new boss got sacked and the old boss came back...
