Award-winning pub LOSES battle to keep 32ft ‘eyesore’ teepee after locals blasted ‘it’s like living at a festival’ AN AWARD-WINNING pub has lost a legal battle to keep a 32ft-tall "eyesore" in the garden.
The Eagle and Child took the title of UK ‘Pub of the Year’ in 2017 and was also being marked as the best food pub in the Manchester Food and Drinks Awards two years earlier.
Aimee Burgess, who lives opposite the pub in Whalley Road, claims the “constant noise” made by people attending events at the teepee was “like having a festival outside the house”.
Daniel Thwaites, the owner of Eagle and Child, was said to have several features to added to the gastro pub without permission during Covid.
Locals slammed the towering teepee in Greater Manchester and are relieved to hear the "unauthorised and unlawful" tent is to be torn down.
