Forgotten where:

Timothy Taylor -...

Wimbledon - SW19 (4%) for £3.30 a half at The Prince of Wales.

Fair point.

I think pub payment policies change too frequently to make this a 'pub facility'.



Yup. No £50 notes.

I wonder if this was an upcycled name or former family connection?

Yes. Worth mentioning certainly, given that business are obliged to clearly display any payment requirements they may have. I went to a place not long ago and having ordered a half for a fairly...

Quite true, but I suppose competition amongst card issuers could drive the cost down.



Nuff said.



Yes. I remember when I went fully cashless when COVID hit. A few month later I received...

Although card-only pubs in London are in the minority, personally I feel that cashless is the way to go: it's a deterrent against tax dodging, it reduces the risk of robbery and crime - I'd love to...

This is a very good list, the only clunker I can think of is the Harwood, which is a restaurant where you can graciously...

I go to the White Swan occasionally as the ale lineup has changed dramatically and for the better, with an Oakham-fest last week; in the past, you could hardly walk past the place without hearing...

:D Why would they charge more for doing less? Table service increases staff costs and slows down service.

The future?

Bar 105 - now a map link.

Ta.

Perfectly articulated.

I'm sick of every pub having been plastered with Farrow & Ball smoky blue paint, grey wainscoting, bare brick with original panelling ripped out then exposed galvanized...

More Neck Oil and little cask for exploring the watering holes of Tooting, but a mini-fest of Oakham's beers at Islington's White Swan made up for something:
