The First ROMANS BEER FESTIVAL - Details here

[The Large One]

The Romans public house in Southwick will be holding its first annual beer festival over the May Day Bank Holiday.

Friday 29 April - Monday 2 May Open: 12 noon - 12 midnight (except Monday: 12 noon - 11pm). Entrance is free, although a small donation will be asked for on the Sunday. A lunch menu and evening menu are available.

On the Saturday night (April 30), the Fish Brothers will be playing their usual pretty boy punk mayhem - and Martin Fish may well get his tits out. You have been warned.

Sunday May 1 is being devoted to raising funds for the Albion. Come along after the Brighton OB v Chelsea OB game to the festival. Live music starts at 6pm and features Seagulls Ska, Too Many Crooks and a Clash tribute band, The Sweet Nothing, with some football poetry from Attila. There will also be a raffle and auction. Chris the landlord is an Albion season ticket holder, and will be generously donating a cut of the take from the bar on the Sunday to the Forty Notes Fund.

Seeming that The Romans is my local and is only about 2 mins walk from where I live.. I'm sure I can make my way there.

But APART from the Beer Festival, the live music, the auction and the raffle, what have the Romans ever done for us?

Romans have just been taken over by new land lords.. Chris and Chrissie, Chris is an Albion season ticket holder. Expect more from them very soon.. or are you being sarcastic

It's the first pub I ever got served in - I was about 13 - and opposite my old primary and infant schools (though I didn't try and get served there then...) No great shakes then, or until very recently to be honest, but Chris & Chrissie have changed all that. Great well kept beer and a friendly atmosphere.

The Romans have done plenty for us recently!

And they've got Dark Star Meltdown on! Superb. Though it'll be all gone by the time we get back from Rotherham...

 

[Easy 10]

Being as its a short hop over the railway bridge for me, I will certainly be making it my business to spend an extortionate amount of my Sunday afternoon and evening there on May 1st.

They also have a few decks of cards behind the bar, so we could even get a POKER table going.
