Report - GOJI Restaurant, Stretton - August 2015

[Trav]

Could only find a little history.

Disused GOJI Chinese restaurant, which was originally called The Dun Cow pub and also became well known as Crazy Daisy's, was ravaged by fire in May 2011 after being stood empty since 2009.

Went here in August but was using the SD Card for Ready Boost and only just found the pics! This is just off the A45 between Coventry and the M1, I've driven passed it 100's of times before, but stopped here waiting for traffic to die down so I could test the um fuel consumption on my new car! There is an empty house right next to it so I included some pics from there too.

I used to go here quite a lot in the 90s when it was daisy's. It opened in 1996 as a club and it was fantastic. There was some quite well know djs who played in there. The decor is the same in the pics as it was back then lol. Great days and I was gutted when they eventually pulled the place down after the 2nd fire.

Whilst the Goji site is still flattened, the empty house next door has now been renovated into 2 houses!

Yes I know the place you mean. I'm surprised that wasn't flattened as well. Bobs cafe had a lucky escape as well.

Very true - bizarrely - its only the door surround that is "listed" on that building!!!

Two, I'm sure it was three tiny cottages crammed in there for £230K each when looking in estate agents window. Madness.
I'm told the old owners were regularly broken into and had the TV and VCR stolen repeatedly!
What's happening with the garage?

I've no idea tbh. I'm sure there's a farm next door so maybe they own it?
