When i were a lad we did indeed venture into the realms of the spotted dog b4 giong to sherrys as in thems days gayness hadnt been invented.

O that's it then. I wondered why the GF that dragged me in there late 60's early 70's had all these men friends, she was a hairdresser. They were very friendly to me too.

Is the latter the Lewes arms and if so, do they still have the Titanic on tap, I got some bottles in Stoke the other week and your photo seems to show Steerage and an other on tap. If not where is this place that sells Burslems finest beer.

Sorry DerbyGull Q meant for Lord Bracknell

It's the Gardeners Arms in the Cliffe High Street.

Pete knows his beer.

The really RARE concoction on sale that day was Harvey's You Wouldn't Like It (7.14% at £3 a pint) - brewed specially by Miles Jenner as a one-off, to celebrate the 3,000th real ale sold at the pub. Ben's Grandad might not appreciate the beer, but I'm sure he'd like the name.

Will have to try that Harveys one day, I've never tried it. Am I missing much?

It's now closed!

It's now closed!

Certainly is! Getting turned into flats, I think.

My 'office' local. Bit pricey but a great sportsbar atmosphere

[DTES]

The Old Nun's Head in, er, Nunhead. A cunning name, I'm sure you'll agree.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

The Wheel,Longsdon half a mile away.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

One mile away. The Hollybush at Denford.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

But when back 'ome' always liked this one.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

And this one is not bad.

No you are not it is a drink that people like to drink to be part of the 'in crowd' and to be able to spout about real ale but it is not worth rushing for, well at least not in my opinion and I have drunk a fair few pints in my time. I prefer Timothy Taylors Landlord. London Pride or Marstons Pedigree or if drinking localish Hogs Back TEA.

When will you ever just simply give it a rest? You sir are a curmudgeon.

I used to love going to the bar in a certain pub in Farnham and ask for "a pint of tea please", I agree a fine ale. Harveys isn't so bad, but I'll down London Pride first everytime I have a choice between the two in any boozer

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

I have grown accustomed to Larkins (brewed in Chiddingstone, near Hever) since all the Kentish folk round here drink that. But I do like a Harvey's Best when back in Sussex.

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

Excellent thread - have just spent twenty minutes reading through 12 pages getting genuinely homesick for a decent pub. No other country in the world does boozers like us.

For the two weeks I'm back home each year I'm in here most days:

Not the closest by any means, and also not the best pub in the world, but a real mixed bag of people and always fun times to be had.

While at uni up in Chester it was here:

The Boot Inn. Sam Smiths for 1.24 a pint you could get have a great evening and still come away with change from a tenner. Not been there for nearly ten years, and still miss it!

That's pretty evident.

Paxton, ignore BG. He might haev been a pickled landlord for nigh on 70 years now, but there are times, especially with football and beer, that black is white and white is black mainly for the sake of it.
