Redefining the Swift half?

If I were a publican there are certainly a shed-load of clips which I wouldn't allow to line my bar; I can only think that most of these date back to at least the 1980s. But Naked Ladies is the name...

Never heard such twaddle. Made all the worse due to it being one of my top three session beers.

Of course there are more important issues in the world, but the reason why the couple who bought it destroyed it, is because its removal more easily facilitated access to their other business...

True, but none of the things mentioned were responsible for the murder of 6m Jews - many of whom were tortured to death or worked to death as slave labour - nor the laying waste to Europe with a...

I can think of several UK brewers who could benefit from this, especially those who think that a cask beer that tastes like Lilt is a good idea.

Clearly The Carlton Tavern proved no deterrent.

Perhaps because 'real ale' and 'craft' are mutually exclusive? :evilgrin::ninja:

They have a seemingly prosperous waste disposal business; I seem to recall they demolished the pub to facilitate access to it. They have a house and they also own the land where the pub stood. If...

Just 11 for me and a mixed bunch. Certainly a few I hope don't go to Young's, e.g. the Cock & Bottle, Nell Gwynne and Green Goose. But I couldn't give a flying fork about the Phene.

Yes. The Gospel according to St. Old Boots: Psalm 1:6-26 “Feel free to have the last word, I know you like to.”

Very true. Crawls aside, I never leave for the pub until I've eaten supper, so that's 7.30 at the earliest and it now takes me a good one-and-a-half-hours to find a new pub, so that's a 10.00pm...

Hmmm...Looks like the local Tourist Info centre, a clothes shop later sweet shop tax dodge conversion, opposite a municipal block.



:D:D :D

Looks like a shop conversion to me, not a true pub. Presumably this is an award for beer rather than authenticity?

Indeed.

I'm devastated, still trying to take all this in. :(



Out of the frying pan...

Bessie's 73-year run outgunned by just one year by Flossie's (is there a theme here?) reign at The Sun Inn.



It's a Welsh thing. Like keeping up with the Joneses.

A lovely pub and my review says it was the least expensive on our Summer 2019 crawl. But £21 for an 11% pint??? I'll bet this would be about £3.00 if in were on cask; last year I paid £4.50 for a...
