Brighton Pub World Cup ***Group C***

[Billy the Fish]

I voted Coopers as I used to go there on sunday for roasts. Used to bloody LOVE their roasts

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Horse and Groom no longer scary, but has great gigs.

However was a great footy pub in the past for me, many an away Albion game watched there.

 

[Superphil]

Eastern

 

[The Modfather]

Great Eastern

 

[Smithy]

Torn between Coopers and Shakies. I'll go for Coopers as their food is top notch.

Shakespeare Head, Spring Street? Surely Chatham Place!

 

[big nuts]

Definitely the group of death four tremendous pubs listed, Horse & Groom being an also ran in my opinion.

Coopers food in particular their roasts are superb.
Great Eastern - A fine array of Bourbon's and Whiskey's
Shakespears - Great All-Rounder
E&S - Again their roasts are amongst the best in Brighton.

2 free pints of Harveys at The Coopers for the first person through the door on Saturday should we qualify for the knock out round.

Available from noon

 

[Colossal Squid]

Another group with a TIE for second place.

Voting extended

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Not as good as perhaps it once was but The Great Eastern just about gets my vote.

 

[Colossal Squid]

Voting in this group is now CLOSED.

The group's seeded entry, the Great Eastern has topped the group with the Shakespeare's Head taking second, just one point ahead of the unlucky Coopers Cask

Sonewhat confusing. There are two pubs in Brighton called the Shakespeare's Head. This poll displayed the address of one and a photo of the other!

Exactly. Which one is being voted for here?

Oh shitballs.

I had no idea!

I only know of the one near Seven Dials, which I think is the one in the photo, no?

I went for Shakies in this one. Nice, smallish pub with good food. Of the others, I liked the Horse and Groom about 10 years ago back in the days when it was a Whitbread pub and you could have a pint of Boddingtons (which I liked back in 2003) watching the football by the fireside. I then moved to the other side of town and it lost its way after I moved. The Great Eastern never changes much, but it's a decent place. Organic beer isn't to my taste so that ruled out the Earth and Stars, and in the Farm Road pub debate, I've always been more of a Farm Tavern man than a Coopers Cask man.

Looking at the other groups some of the losing pubs would have pissed other groups.

 

[MissGull]

There are two Shakespeare's heads though, aren't there?

The one that was next door to Argos has been closed for the best part of 2 years now and building was boarded up.

 

[MissGull]

I voted for the one I know, which is on the corner of Spring St, however that is not the picture of it.

The one in Spring Street is the one that has closed. The picture is of the one near Seven Dials.
