Tony

Tony Callaghan who owns Little Fifteen & other bars is due to open another three & is looking for Chefs,good cooks & bar workers so if you're interested give Tony or Lisa a ring on 01942 823980

Tony was on the tele the other day, a re run on Judge Rinder, the " Pie Noon " dispute, very funny :)

Apparently, people are saying he wants to employ someone to clean the 15 in pem, as no way has that been cleaned before it reopened, so the regulars go in the Swan.

Which pubs does he own ?

He has bought the old Main GPO on Wallgate, which unbeknown to a lot of people has the old sorting office at the back of it, which means it is quite a large building, I wonder if he will call it what it was known to everyone has

t' "Gee Pee Ohhh"

I believe they do nice food in the Royal Oak and the one in upholland, but yet the one in Pem is a cack hole.

Standisher,I saw him on TV too,it was really funny.

As a young Bobby on the beat in Ashton mid 80's...the said Tony Callaghan also a young lad had a card stall in the Palace arcade on Bryn Street. His first venture was a club "Jekyls of Hyde" in Hyde... Was a bit rough there... He has done well for himself and I often give him a wave when outside his Roby Mill home.

didn't he go bankrupt, years ago?

Tony also appeared on Great Canal Journeys recently - when Gyles Brandreth took on the world pie eating champion in The Raven:

Series 13, Ep.2

The lad has done well for himself. And fair play to him. He has worked hard to get where he is today.
If I remember rightly he used to sell ice cream from his ice cream van. Good luck to to him. He deserves to reap the rewards from his hard graft.

But he might not like cats

how can he start up again when he went bankrupt?

You are able to remain self-employed as a sole trader once declared bankrupt so long as you trade under your own name, or the name you used when declaring the bankruptcy.

what about if he owed anybody, does that get written off?

After you've been declared bankrupt, your creditors will write off your unsecured debts. ... When your bankruptcy ends, you'll be 'discharged' from it. If you go bankrupt you may find it difficult to take out any further credit, as bankruptcy will remain on your credit file for six years.

I'd be fuming if someone went bankrupt owing me money, then opened up a business again....fuming

He was also on 4 in a bed a few years ago with Sam Tomkins

Tony Cal has never been bankrupt.

Some people will tell lies and spread rumours without any proof, Tonker.

Thanks for the reply tonks

So why did you mention he'd been bankrupt ?

So far as I'm aware Tony has never been bankrupt. As regards his new ventures, is one in Higher Ince, used to be the Royal Hotel near the Squirrel. Looks like it's going to be opening as a pub again. Looks good.

Named after his uncle Ian Anthony Callaghan the former Leigh RL second row forward.

Not Tony's doing the Royal, WN1. They are flats, some have already moved in. They have kept the pub facia as it was and it looks pretty good.

I was asking a question, that's why I put a question mark on the end Doh!

He wants to get 15 in Pemberton cleaned

how can he start up again when he went bankrupt?

You are asking the question,because you thought he'd been bankrupt, DOH

NJ,
Was his father Fred who used to have a chip shop?

No idea Bill sorry

Did Tony's parents once have Earl Street Chippy ?. It was a little gold mine apparently. I think they also had the grocery store on Park Road, opposite Muffin Man.

Jimmy & Sandra had Earl St Chippy for a long time,don't know anyone else who had it

WN1 Standisher, we wondered if the Royal Hotel in Ince was to reopen as a pub as it has Warrington Walker Ales on the new windows, yet the approved planning application from 2019 was for ‘Change of use of existing public house to 6 apartments’.

Thanks Jo anne, my link is just redirecting back to this thread.

Sorry, Terry, I’d somehow missed your post before. Glad to see the building renovated.

I Didn't know that, Gaffer?
I think he had an Uncle Eric who played rugby.
Eric had a pub in Platt Bridge, the Victoria. Then he ran the Saracens Head on Wigan Lane.

you have to laugh, nana doesn't post for over 24 hrs then when Terry Tiny Tears posts, she posts.

it reminds me of what a puppy is like when it sees its owner

Cheshire Cat,

A Freudian slip on my part. It was Eric, we were friends for many years. Eric was a HGV driver for another friend of mine Ken Boon whose depot was in Lees Lane in Abram.

I remember Boon.

Boon

I liked Boon

No problem Jo Anne, my link wasn't working.

NJ,
I see the Village Idiot has you in his sights again. Usual attempted bullying of the female gender. “ Like a puppy when it see’s it’s owner”. How ironic that someone who follows a couple of contributors round like a lap dog should say that. There again he will latch on to anyone that replies to his inane comments. Very similar to a stray dog.

Thanks Bill I hadn't seen his post,he's obsessed with me,so sad

Strange thing is, Terry started posting again around the same time Joseph did on WR.

Draw you're own conclusions.

mind you, she was like that when nasty mac was on here.

I said I thought he was tom and the soft melt went skrykin to admin.

She is the cat’s Mother. Why this aggression to the other sex? You even speak of your own wife in derogatory terms. Did you haves lady teacher that used to beat you or something similar? Perhaps you daren’t speak aggressively to men?

what are you on about boredy

Please do draw your own conclusions just as this soft Mary Ann as. You'll still be miles from the truth. Try some other names that haven't already been used, plus I don't use this WR or any other Wigan related sites except on FB .

Carry On!

He's on about you Brush degrading females the way you do on a public forum and have done for years, it's no wonder women are afraid to go out alone with scum like you who have nothing but contempt for and an ingrained prejudice against women, and as Broady has mentioned your wife.

Still if it makes you feel like a real man carry on. Man of the year? Pfft!

not degraded any women, if there going to come on here trying to have a go then them, and anybody else, are going to get it back, but unlike "some people" I don't get personal, nasty or willing a visit

Didn't he used to Take Pictures?

I wish owners of town centre buildings would keep heritage buildings in a good state, Grimes Arcade is boarded up and looking very shabby, if it's true that Callaghan has plenty of money.

Basil Brush his pub company was liquidated twice and he bought back some of the premises https://www.thebusinessdesk.com/northwest/news/18970-receivers-called-in-at-yesteryear-pub-co
