    [Drinking] The Pub Debate - Weatherspoons

    Funnily enough the best pub in Kingston is 'The Albion', bit of a walk from the centre but worth it. Failing that, the Ram isn't terrible.

    [Drinking] The Pub Debate - Weatherspoons

    Some breweries maybe, but a lot of decent small independent breweries would rather not cheapen their brand by doing so or cannot supply that kind of quantity, these are the kind of breweries I would prefer to give my custom to

    [Politics] Sunk planning to allow dentists from abroad to practice here .....

    As expected, it's got nothing to do with unqualified dentists and they will also have to work under supervision until their full registration is complete. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-plans-to-boost-dental-workforce-by-cutting-red-tape

    [News] New Year honours 2024

    Very good deals for who? certainly not decent small brewers who they force to either basically sell at cost or not at all. They are part of the reason that other pubs don't bother with decent cask as they can't compete
