Gladys Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Just now, Roxanne said: Yes. There was a notice on the wall with some motto about the perils of not being temperate. I have a photo somewhere with me posing with the notice, three sheets to the wind (with a rolled up stolen rug balanced on my shoulder too I seem to remember) - but we don't talk about that. You just did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The posh bit is to even think about drinking Champagne. I was a lager and lime or Cherry B kind of a gal. If we were really pushing the boat out, it would be brandy and Babycham!

Are they worth the extra compared to cans and bottles? Are they much cheaper than pint at the local? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then one of the requirements of getting a licence is showing you’re different to anything else out there already. Other than price don’t see they do that. Licensing courts would take cheap alcohol on sale as a negative as they would fear it encouraging people to drink more on a night. I think you're being a bit nervy and panicky with all this talk of Wetherspoons. Re the beer in Wetherspoons, all I know is that I have never had a bad pint in Wetherspoons. I wish I could say the same for Okells, and indeed Bushy's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two or three years ago, Beerwulf used to supply a really good range of continental beers (mainly bottled) at reasonable prices. Now it sells various brands of Heineken-owned lager pish. I think they do still do a mixed case of Belgian bottled beers, but aside from that it's just Euro-brand lager. Each to their own I suppose.

mollag Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I believe that the Yates family lived locally, Milntown I think. One item sold over the bar in the Walpole Avenue Yates side bar was their own brand of tinned sardines, a regular would order a pint, a double white and lemonade and a tin of fish, he/she would have their own fork. 😋 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
